〔體育中心/綜合報導〕資深後衛魯比歐(Ricky Rubio)本季率領騎士打出嶄新風貌,然而前天他在對上鵜鶘的比賽中無碰撞倒地,檢查後為左膝蓋十字韌帶撕裂,本季確定提前報銷,少了重要後場戰力的騎士只能趕快尋找替補人選,今有美媒爆料他們看上後衛朗度(Rajon Rondo),正在和湖人協商,最快在台灣時間本週六就會完成交易。
魯比歐本季表現亮眼,上役騎士對戰鵜鶘,他頂替葛蘭德(Darius Garland)先發出賽,上場接近38分鐘,繳出全場最高的27分,另有13籃板和9助功的準大三元表現,然而他在第四節一次切入無碰撞卻跌倒,左膝彎曲倒地不起,最後在隊友攙扶下才能起身,但左腿看起來完全無法施力,而這已經是魯比歐生涯第二次遭逢同樣的傷勢。
折損了重要的後場戰力,騎士只能趕緊尋覓替補人選,《The Athletic》記者查拉尼亞(Shams Charania)稍早在推特爆料,他們盯上湖人資深後場指揮官朗度,希望能藉由他來補足戰力。《ESPN》記者「沃神」沃納洛斯基(Adrian Wojnarowski)隨後則跟進爆料,指出兩隊已經談妥,最快在週六就能完成交易,待朗度通過聯盟健康與安全協議後,就能加入騎士隊。
