SALT LAKE CITY — Like Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and Quin Snyder, Ricky Rubio is also in the running for a prestigious NBA award.
Rubio is one of 10 finalists for the season-long NBA Cares Community Assist Award thanks to his service as a 5 For The Fight cancer research ambassador. The award honors a player's commitment and positive impact on his team's community over the course of the season.
An NBA executive panel and fan voting (through May 6) will determine the winner. As a prize, the NBA and Kaiser Permanente will donate $25,000 to the winner’s charity of choice.
