Ricky Rubio had been day-to-day with a foot injury. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday evening's game against the Cavs.
Rubio has played very well this season for the Jazz. Through 37 games, he is averaging 12.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists while shooting 39.1 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from beyond the arc.
The Jazz struggled early on this season with offensive production, as the offense seemed to stagnate. Rubio has since then led the charge to better performance. The addition of Kyle Korver provided much-needed spacing for the team, while Donovan Mitchell played better as of late after sluping a bit.
