After stepping away from the franchise to address his mental health, guard Ricky Rubio and the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed on a contract buyout -- likely marking the end of Rubio's accomplished 12-year NBA career, sources told ESPN Thursday.
The buyout -- which has $6.1 million left on this year's contract and $6.4 million for 2024-2025 -- gives the Cavaliers some financial relief and opens up a second spot on the team's roster.
If Rubio continues his professional career, it will likely be where it started as a 14-year old prodigy -- his native Spain.
