Ricky Rubio has been the Utah Jazz's starting point guard for the past two seasons, and he has helped guide the team to back-to-back postseason appearances. However, the Spaniard's future has been in called into question due to his impending free agency, and during a recent interview with Ernest Macia of Catalunya Radio, Rubio revealed that he is unlikely to be back for the 19-20 campaign:

Utah has already let me know I’m not a priority for them.

Speaking after the Jazz's playoff elimination to the Rockets back in April, Rubio revealed that he was unsure if he would return to Utah, although it now seems that the Jazz will look in a different direction. Mike Conley has been strongly linked as a potential replacement.

Rubio finished the 18-19 campaign with 68 regular season appearances, averaging 12.7 points, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
