Rubio (ankle) is aiming to play Sunday against the Clippers, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Rubio was scratched from Friday's game against the Kings due to ankle injury, but the team doesn't believe the ailment is related to the injury that cost him 22 games last season. The point guard, who missed four games earlier in the year with a hamstring issue, said he jammed the ankle Wednesday against Atlanta. Barring a setback Saturday, Rubio will likely be available Sunday against Los Angeles.
