Ricky Rubio has been transferred by Cleveland Cavaliers to the Indiana Pacers. It is a merely testimonial exchange for the player from El Masnou, since he is injured, he will miss the rest of the season and as of this summer he is a free agent, which will allow him to choose his future. In this way, Rubio will not even possibly compete with the Indiana franchise.
