Ricky Rubio has returned to training with Barcelona. The Catalan point guard left the NBA in January to take care of his mental health.

Coach Roger Grimau says seeing Rubio on a court is good news, but only and exclusively for their recovery process. Real Madrid coach Mateo Mateo describes Rubio as “an extraordinary person who deserves everything.” The announcement of Rubio's return generated a wave of reactions from the Spanish basketball community, with many calling for his return to the team.
