Ricky Rubio banged his knee in a collision when he picked up this sixth foul in the first minute of the Phoenix Suns’ overtime game against the Denver Nuggets. Suns fans hoped it was just a charlie-horse, but Rubio is officially out for the game against the LA Clippers with a knee contusion.
Considering the Suns went on to lose the game, it makes you wonder if it would have been better had a foul not been called on Rubio’s half-court heave at the end of regulation.
But to use two sports clichés back to back: it is what it is.
