Ricky Rubio made his way back to the action in Minnesota on Saturday night, nearly nine months removed from reconstructive left knee surgery. The guard didn’t just come back to the court, he did it with flair, highlighted by a between-the-legs bounce pass to center Greg Stiemsma for a layup to finish off a second-quarter pick-and-roll and make the YouTube highlights for the night.
Rubio finished with eight points and nine assists over 19 minutes of play, helping the Minnesota to a 114-106 overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
