Utah's Ricky Rubio (Achilles) ruled out Friday night
Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio has been ruled out for Friday's game, reports Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune.
What It Means:
After a good start, Rubio's fallen into a serious slump in his first year with Utah. His shot looks as bad as ever and it's possible that this injury has had something to do with it. For now, we'll assume a one-game absence, but expect updates on the situation. In his stead, Raul Neto will see more minutes as Donovan Mitchell and Rodney Hood soak up usage on the offensive end.
Prior to being ruled out, Rubio was projected for 32.1 minutes and 32.4 FanDuel points in Friday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets.
