Ricky Rubiowho on Friday was not in the first friendly of the team heading to the world philippines, has been dropped from the selection due to a mental health problem. The announcement was just made by the Spanish Basketball Federation it’s a statement. The competition for the Cavs point guard in the World Cup is practically ruled out.
“I have decided to stop my professional activity to take care of my mental health. I want to thank all the support I have received from the FEB to understand my decision. Today #LaFamilia makes more sense than ever. Thank you. I would ask that my privacy be respected so that I can face these moments and be able to give more information when the time is right.”
Ricky Rubio, MVP of the last World Cup, had returned to the national team for the first time in recent seasons, after overcoming a serious knee injury. The possible absence of him is a debacle on the sporting level for a team that also lost due to physical problems to Lawrence Brown. The FEB, with the tact that characterizes it, has wanted to cover the player in these difficult moments.
