It turns out that Ricky Rubio was indeed all set to sign with the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon to replace Darren Collison and play point guard next to a rehabbed Victor Oladipo and small forward Bojan Bogdanovic for another deep Pacers playoff run.
Rubio would have replaced Collison, who became a free agent himself this summer and then suddenly retired from basketball a week before free agency began.
At the same time, the Phoenix Suns were reportedly in talks to sign the Celtics’ Terry Rozier as their new point guard.
