Ricky Rubio’s initial greeting in the Twin Cities came in a raucous celebration at the airport in 2011 after his arrival from Spain.
More than nine years later, his reintroduction to the Wolves was marked in a much more low-key fashion befitting of 2020: On a Zoom video conference with local media members.
Appearing Tuesday along with fellow veteran offseason acquisition Ed Davis, Wolves coach Ryan Saunders and President Gersson Rosas, Rubio described the feeling of being back with the organization that drafted him as a teenager in 2009.
“I feel it was a great fit to come back here by the timing of everything,” Rubio said.
