08:11 AM ET 09.28 | Ricky Rubio has for three weeks now been running on his surgically repaired knee, though his return remains well on the horizon. [Rubio] said he could play his next NBA game by December, nine months after he tore two ligaments there. "I don't know, they say December, but it could be January," he said. "I don't want to say a time because I don't want to rush it. I want to be ready when I am ready." Rubio returned to Vail, Colo., three weeks ago for another checkup with his surgeon and was given approval to begin running again in three- minute segments alternated with walking. He plans one more trip there to see knee specialist Dr. Richard Steadman. "But it's just to shake the hand with the doctor when I'm ready, when I'm ready to roll," he said.

Knees get better. They don't get well. Rubio is young, he has that in his favor. But it will be extremely difficult for him to be the player the Timberwolves are expecting.

It's probably best they hold him out till next season... heck they can tank and probably land a top 3 pick then make the big playoff push come next season...

The T-Wolves needs to take this injury very carefully and not rush this kid. They won't be a playoff team this upcoming season.

They won't be THAT bad without Rubio...but they sure won't have much of a chance of getting into the playoffs without him.

I guess you didn't see how bad the season went once he got hurt did you??? They'll be challenging for the top pick in the draft without him...
