Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Puts career on pause
Rubio announced Saturday that he has "decided to stop my professional activity to take care of my mental health," ESPN.com reports.
Rubio's decision will almost certainly rule him out for the FIBA World Cup, but it is unclear if he will also miss the 2023-24 NBA season. If the veteran ends up sitting out this season, the Cavaliers will be thin at point guard behind Darius Garland, with Craig Porter and Ty Jerome being the likely candidates to receive backup minutes. At 32 years old, Rubio hasn't officially said he's retiring, but it's possible that his professional career is over.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Gets start at point guard
Rubio will start Thursday's game against the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
With Cleveland resting its entire starting lineup, Rubio gets the nod at point guard and will be joined by Cedi Osman, Dean Wade, Lamar Stevens and Robin Lopez in the first five Thursday. This will be the veteran's first start of the season, but when he's played at least 20 minutes (11 games), he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.4 assists and 2.5 rebounds during those contests.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Limited playing time in win
Rubio closed Tuesday's 117-113 win over the Magic with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over 11 minutes.
Rubio continues to play very few minutes, logging under 15 minutes for a third straight game. He remains well outside the top 250 for the season, and despite the upside in assists and steals, he doesn't even fit the bill as a streaming candidate outside of the deepest formats.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Stream value evaporating
Rubio posted two points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Sunday's 108-91 victory over the Rockets.
Rubio ended his night with very little in terms of tangible numbers, a trend that is becoming all too familiar. While he is still viewed as a possible streaming consideration for anyone in need of assists and steals, his numbers over the past month tell another story. During that time, he's averaging 3.1 assists and 0.7 steals, certainly enough to warrant attention outside of the deepest formats.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Productive off bench
Rubio recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 21 minutes during Friday's 117-94 win over Washington.
Rubio was coming off a maintenance day, but he saw his usual minutes Friday night. With about a month left in the season, there has been no indication that the Cavaliers will tweak his load management plan. He's still been a serviceable fantasy player when active as a playmaking specialist.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Available, unlikely to play
Rubio (knee) is listed as available for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers but is unlikely to play.
Despite initially being listed as out, Rubio will be available only in an emergency scenario Wednesday, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports. The veteran point guard is averaging 7.4 points, 3.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.2 minutes across his last five games.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Won't play against Phialdeplhia
Rubio is out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers due to left knee injury management.
Rubio posted 11 points (5-11 FG), five rebounds and four assists in 21 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Hornets, but he continues to sit out one half of Cleveland's back-to-back sets to manage his surgically repaired knee. Fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup for Friday's matchup with Washington. Raul Neto will likely take over backup point guard duties in Rubio's absence.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Pops for 11 points in win
Rubio notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 win over the Hornets.
Rubio logged 20 minutes Sunday, the third straight game in which he has reached that plateau. While his 11 points were unexpected, he was not able to deliver across his usual categories, notching one assist and zero steals. At this point, Rubio should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration, even in deeper formats.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Sneaky production Saturday
Rubio totaled five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 114-90 victory over the Pistons.
Rubio took advantage of a favorable matchup, contributing across all major categories. While he can be utilized as a stream option on nights such as this, his playing time has been far too inconsistent to trust in recent times. Those in deep leagues should continue to monitor his production, but for anyone playing in a standard format, he can be safely overlooked.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Not on Friday's injury report
Rubio (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Rubio sat out Thursday against the Nuggets due to left knee injury management, but he'll return to action a day later as expected. He's missed the last two games but should be able to handle a relatively normal workload Friday. Over five appearances in February, the 32-year-old has averaged 7.4 points and 4.8 assists in 19.4 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Remains sidelined Thursday
Rubio is out for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets due to left knee injury management.
Rubio dealt with an illness before the All-Star break, but he appears to have cleared the ailment during the extended time off. However, he'll still sit out when Cleveland resumes action Thursday, which is the first leg of a back-to-back, to manage his surgically repaired knee. The veteran point guard should be available for Friday's matchup with Atlanta.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Ruled out

Rubio will sit out the Cavaliers' final contest before the All-Star break due to an illness. His next chance to suit up will come Feb. 23 against the Nuggets. Cedi Osman (neck) is also out, so Raul Neto, Caris LeVert and Danny Green are candidates for increased roles behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Cavaliers' Ricky Rubio: Now dealing with illness
Rubio didn't participate in Cleveland's morning shootaround and is now listed as questionable due to an illness, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Rubio has appeared in 14 of the Cavaliers' past 18 contests since making his season debut Jan. 12, only sitting out one part of back-to-back sets, but he's in danger of missing Cleveland's final game before the All-Star break due to an illness. If that's the case, Raul Neto, Cedi Osman and Caris LeVert would be candidates for increased roles behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.
