The Cleveland Cavaliers expect Ricky Rubio to return from his torn ACL at some point in January.

Rubio tore the ACL in his left knee last December. The Cavaliers subsequently traded Rubio for Caris LeVert and then re-signed him in free agency.

“I would expect him, if things go the right way, sometime early next month," said J.B. Bickerstaff. "So we're definitely progressing in the right direction.”
