Rubio exits vs. Bucks with right thigh injury, will not return

Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio left Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks with a right thigh injury and will not return, the team announced.

The crafty point guard left the game at the 7:23 mark of the first quarter after getting off to a hot start with nine quick points.

Utah takes another hit at point guard with the injury, as it is already without reserve Dante Exum for "a couple of weeks" with an ankle sprain, according to The Athletic's Tony Jones.

Third-string guard Raul Neto will likely see a boost in minutes and Donovan Mitchell may consequently take on an even greater role in the offense.
