Ricky Rubio has been cleared for five-on-five training as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in December 2021.
J.B. Bickerstaff added that Rubio was heading in the right direction, but wouldn’t be rushed to return.
“It’s the conditioning in five-on-five, it’s being able to be bumped in five-on-five and then being able to react without hesitation … he’s got to get to a place where he’s comfortable with that. It’s too important and he’s too important to rush it.
“But he’s taking steps in the right direction,” said Bickerstaff.
