Last summer,
Ricky Rubio
suddenly left the Spanish team's training camp in Madrid, where he was preparing for the World Cup, due to a mental health problem. The point guard had decided to stop his career then. Seven months later and after confirming that he will not return to the NBA, Ricky sees the light at the end of the tunnel. This Monday he announced his intention to "ask FC Barcelona to train with them."
Through his social networks, the one from El Masnou proclaims that "the time has come to enter the final phase" of his recovery, for which he has asked his former club, "without any commitment and without interrupting the season plans ", train with them. If all goes well, Ricky's integration into
Roger Grimau's
squad
would be a huge media and sporting boost for a team that is advancing, in full renewal, in the wake of Real Madrid, third in the Endesa League (14-6) and second in the Euroleague (15-8).
"I've been thinking about it for a few weeks, and after many more weeks working on my mind and body, I feel eager and strong to see how I react with a ball in my hands," writes the former Penya youth player.
