It’s still unclear whether the 18-year-old point guard could get out of his DKV Joventut Barcelona team’s contract, which includes a $6.6 million buyout, in time for Wolves training camp in October.
But the Wolves, as the Vikings did this week with quarterback Brett Favre, would allow Rubio to come to training camp late. That’s because Rubio has started practicing with the Spanish national team and would be in shape.
It’s expected to be several more weeks before the Wolves learn whether they will have Rubio for the coming season. But Rubio has indicated to Kahn that he’s willing to come to Minnesota if the buyout issue can be resolved.
Right now, the issue is money.
