Timberwolves lose Ricky Rubio "indefinitely" Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio is out indefinitely because of a badly sprained left ankle. Rubio was hurt in the game at Orlando on Friday night. An MRI exam performed on Saturday confirmed the severity of the sprain. The Timberwolves play in Miami on Saturday night. Rubio agreed to a $55 million, four-year extension with the Timberwolves on Oct. 31. He entered Saturday as one of only four players with at least 50 assists so far this season. With Rubio sidelined, it's expected that Minnesota will start veteran Mo Williams. Rubio is averaging 9.4 points and 10 assists this season.
