Ricky Rubio unsure of return date

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio reveals that he is unsure when he will return to action after suffering a severe sprained ankle.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Ricky Rubio has revealed that he is unsure when he will be able to return from his ankle injury.

The Spaniard sustained a severe sprained left ankle against the Orlando Magic on November 7 and has been sidelined ever since.

"I was feeling good, I think the best I've felt in the NBA," Rubio told reporters. "Especially the game in Brooklyn. I was feeling like I'd found my tempo. I was leading the team. But it's something that happened, you can't take it back. Just have to get back as soon as possible to help the team and feel that way again.

"I don't know how to say a time. But my family is coming for Christmas, so I hope they can see me playing. But I don't know the time. It's going to depend. Everybody's different."

Rubio is considered a pivotal part of the Timberwolves roster particularly after the decision to trade Kevin Love this past summer.
