The current NBA is in a labor shortage, with about 20 percent of players in the league triggering health and safety agreements and having to be officially suspended by the NBA. In order to control this situation and to make the game go smoothly, the NBA even changed the rules so that the players who triggered the agreement can return to the game after only 6 days of observation.
But even so, the vast majority of teams are still very short of people, and if there are any players injured at this time, it will be a big blow. The Cleveland Cavaliers this season have been surprising because they quietly hit the top four in the East, and there are no superstars of the year, only some slightly overbearing stars.
But this situation was broken today. In the last game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Cavaliers' main guard Rubio suddenly left the court with an injury, and after examination, it was officially announced today as a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee, which is expected to be a season reimbursement.
The Cavaliers' starting guard this season is third-year Garland, but Rubio is the one on the bench, the most stable and experienced man. Reunited with veteran striker Love on the Cavaliers, Rubio has become more and more calm and reassuring.
After Sexton's serious injury season reimbursement, Rubio is an indispensable rotation guard for the Cavaliers and plays a vital role. Now that Rubio has been seriously injured and the season is reimbursed, the Cavaliers' journey this season is expected to take a sharp turn.
To make matters worse, a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee was a very serious injury, and even if Rubio recovered from the injury, his athletic ability was likely to decline, and there was no way to perform well. After Rubio's injury, Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson expressed regret for the first time because he knew how serious the injury was.
