Amick: Rubio on-floor work delayed, possibly canceled
"The Spanish point guard who arrived Tuesday afternoon has become sick today, meaning an afternoon hoops session at the Kings practice facility is not expected to take place. Rubio, who is here only to gauge the Kings' interest in him at the No. 4 spot in the June 25 draft, may attempt to give it a go tomorrow morning. Or, of course, he may not."

Someone should have told him not to drink the water.

As someone who travels for a living, a little advice
always bring a light jacket on the plane – even in summer.
Those long flights get cold and dry.
So imitate the action of the tiger!.

Just heard Amick touch on this on Sportsline
He said that people who went to dinner with him knew he had a sore throat and that he was fatigued by the traveling.
I’m sure it doesn’t matter as people will still bash him and say is all made up (it could be) but I thought it was fair to share what Amick said on the radio.
Agree,,,I assume he's really ill
He’s got s trong enough agent to say no if they didn’t want to do drills. Hope he feels better by tomorrow.
Sounds like with some rest he'll be okay
I’m kind of surprised he was so busy and active given all the traveling he did to get here

If you've ever flown from Europe to LA
You know it’s a killer. Especially if you can’t sleep (excited? nervous? too much noise?) on the plane.
Jet-lag just caught up with him. I’m glad he’s not pushing things and making himself really sick. Some ibuprofen, some sleep, and he should be good to go.
The good news is that he probably won’t travel to another city, being sick and all….

Good call
I prescribe 8-9 days of bed rest. Better safe than sorry.

A little on that
and of course I know you guys were kidding but this is the first time I hear of such rule
After Rubio watched the Kings’ workout with lesser prospects this morning and had lunch with Kings folks immediately after, a sore throat and fatigue have changed the itinerary. Per draft rules, he can only stay 48 hours and must be gone around 2 p.m., so that’s the time frame with which he and the Kings have to work
Interesting
Guess we have to break out the CDC quarantine. I hear Ricky may have that new Torro-Flu that’s originating in Spain.

Or maybe he caught a strain of cabin fever. I hear it you need about 10 days of bedrest to recover from that.
There can only be one Noce!
I guess it's pretty serious.
“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ricky pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.”
All this has been is Ricky Rubio’s Day Off.

I weep for the future!
With the 4th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings select Rickeke Flynenningday, point guard from Europe, Memphis, Syracuse, UCLA and Parts Unknown.
Good thing he's a tough nut
and won’t have to do crazy things like fly in airplanes when he’s in the NBA
he can always take a few weeks off during the season when he gets the sniffles.
And forget about when Deron Williams or Brandon Roy breaks his ankles.
Just take it light and eazzzzy. Kings are used to it.
Yeah
Because intercontinental flights are the norm in the NBA.
This guy’s been playing at the highest level of international basketball since he was a pup. Question his toughness all you like – you’re Richard Simmons compared to him.
Geez, you are like 10 pounds of jackass in a 5 pound bag.

still, very bad timing
it does bring up the ‘Euros are soft’ stereotype that lingers around them all.

Oh, men
Euros are soft. They get sick. How they dare to suffer any illness?

Your statement made it seem like your a woman
Sorry. When you said " Oh, men." But, I realize how you meant it. My bad.

On a positive note:
at lease this ruins Ailene Voison’s one good scoop of the year. Now she can go back to dreaming about a 3-way with Bill Laimbeer and John Whisenant

For what its worth.......
My brother (who is a legit 6’6) just ran into Rubio a few minutes ago at Sac Intl. and he shook hands and spoke briefly with Rubio…
First question I had was “Is he a legit 6 5’?”…..My bro laughed and said he’s 6 3’ at tops!
Just thought I’d share with the team-
Yeah, well...
DZ lists your brother at 6’4", and says his foot speed is a joke.

Not bad...
I actually laughed a bit at that….Cant wait to tell me bro. (He’s a former all-Metro 1st team baller whose skills are declining by the year..ha)
My second question for him was.." Is he cool or is he a dork? Cause he looks like a maggot in all the pics I see."…Bro responded that was actually a nice guy in the brief few minutes he spoke with him, which was good to hear-
