Jazz guard Rubio could miss up to 10 days with injury

WASHINGTON, April 28 (Xinhua) -- The Utah Jazz could be without point guard Ricky Rubio for up to 10 days as the club is gearing up for their series against the Houston Rockets in the second round of the NBA playoffs, local media reported on Saturday.

Rubio, who left Friday's series-clinching Game 6 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder with a left hamstring injury, has been dealing with soreness in his left hamstring for several weeks, but it had not flared up in the playoffs until Friday night.

Through the first five games of the playoffs, Rubio was averaging 16.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.8 assists in the playoffs. He posted a triple-double in Game 3 with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Enditem
