Traded to Indiana Rubio (knee), along with a 2022 first-round pick and two future second-round picks, was traded to the Pacers in exchange for Caris LeVert on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN repo... Impact Rubio suffered a torn ACL at the end of December and will miss the rest of the season, so his expiring contract was likely only added in the trade to match LeVert's salary. The veteran point guard finished the 2021-22 campaign averaging 13.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.6 minutes per game. With the injury being late in the season, and given the fact that Rubio is 31-years-old, it may impact his ability to be ready for the 2022-23 campaign. It's unclear what the Pacers will do with Rubio, but it's likely that they'll allow him to enter free agency this offseason.
