Ricky Rubio deixa els Minnesota Timberwolves i fitxa pels Utah Jazz

El base català fa les maletes i canvia d'equip per primer cop des que juga a l'NBA

Actualitzat

Ja és oficial, Ricky Rubio deixa els Minnesota Timberwolves per fitxar pels Utah Jazz. El traspàs arriba tot just una setmana després que Minnesota es desfés de dos bases de l'equip, cosa que feia pensar que Ricky Rubio tenia el camí lliure per repetir com a base titular. 

Aquesta matinada, la lliga ha donat llum verda a l'operació per a que el base català canviï d'equip per primer cop des de que el base de El Masnou juga a l'NBA. Rubio va fitxar pels Timberwolves al 2011 i des d'aleshores només ha jugat en aquesta franquícia.

Aquest diumenge, Ricky Rubio ha difós, a través de les xarxes socials, un missatge de comiat a l'afició del seu ja exequip:

 

Basketball brought me here 6 years ago. I didn't know much about Minnesota, and now I'm proud to call it home. You never know what this journey will bring you, and I wouldn't change a bit of mine over the last 6 years. I remember arriving here like it was yesterday. I stepped out of the airport and was overwhelmed with your support. It's something I'll never forget. What we have in Minnesota is special and you don't know that until you live there. You helped me to grow as a player, but more importantly as a person. I learned a lot, met incredible people who became part of my family and will always be in my heart.... especially you, Flip. I gave my best night after night. I'm sorry we couldn't make the playoffs because you deserve it. I am grateful to the Timberwolves organization and all of my coaches, trainers and staff. Finally, I want to thank all of the amazing teammates I was fortunate to play alongside for the last 6 years. I wish nothing but the best for you guys.
