Ricky Rubio returns to Utah Jazz practice, dishes off-court assist as he recovers from hamstring strain

PARK CITY — Technically, Ricky Rubio hasn’t dished out an assist since Jan. 7 before exiting the game in Milwaukee during the opening quarter with a mild right hamstring strain.

That’s only if you’re counting on the court, though.

As the Utah Jazz floor general continues to recover, he threw an off-court lob for the second year in a row to 10 local athletes from the Utah Special Olympics on Sunday in the Adidas Store at Tanger Outlets Park City.

Rubio gifted each of them a $200 gift card at the store as well as a hat and rubber wristband from The Ricky Rubio Foundation, while assisting them on their shopping spree for Three Stripes gear.
