Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio's rookie NBA season is over after suffering a torn left knee ligament and he will most likely miss the London Olympics.
The 21-year-old standout for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves suffered the anterior-cruciate ligament tear on Friday night in a 105-102 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
With recovery time from such injuries typically six to nine months, the injury almost certainly dooms his hopes to play for Spain in July at the London Olympics, a major setback for a strong Spanish side filled with NBA talent.
Rubio moved to help defend Lakers star Kobe Bryant in the final seconds and the Spaniard's left knee buckled just before he and Bryant collided.
The youngster was called for a foul and Bryant sank game-winning free throws.
Rubio was helped into the locker room by teammates and walked out of the arena with the help of a friend.
