According to MARCA, the Spaniard will return and will stay with the team until the end of the 2023-24 season. If the move materializes, it will be registered before the EuroLeague signing deadline, which expires on Wednesday at 17:00 CET.

It is not clear whether Rubio will play for sure, but if he feels fit enough to do so, he will have a roster spot available to him. MARCA reports that the player will not have a contractual obligation to play and that the contract can be revoked unilaterally by both parties.

Rubio had fully retired from his NBA career after suffering from mental health issues that made him put his basketball career on hold.

Thankfully, the Spanish guard feels much better now and might even return to the EuroLeague, a possibility discussed after he joined a few of the Barcelona team practices a little while back.

In a four-season career in the EuroLeague (2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11), the first two with Joventut Badalona and the latter two with Barcelona, Rubio averaged 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2 steals per game.
