Report: Ricky Rubio Could Miss 10 Days With Hamstring Injury

Utah's Ricky Rubio could reportedly miss 10 days with a hamstring injury he suffered in Friday night's win over Oklahoma City,

Utah's Ricky Rubio could miss 10 days with a hamstring injury he suffered in Friday night's win over Oklahoma City, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

The Jazz next play the Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals Sunday. 

He had an MRI Saturday after injuring his left hamstring early in Game 6 vs. the Thunder. He didn't return to the game. 

Rubio has been essential for Utah, with his game-high 26 points in Game 3 prompting Russell Westbrook to go out of his way to say he was going to shut Rubio down. 

Without Rubio in the lineup, there will be more pressure on rookie sensation Donovan Mitchell, Dante Exum and Alec Burks to pick up the slack for the Jazz at the guard position.
