What they're saying: "I know the way things ended has been tough," Rubio wrote in a statement posted to social media.

• "I could never have imagined the year would develop this way, but [the Cavs] have an amazing organization, with Koby [Altman] and JB [Bickerstaff], who have been extremely respectful and understanding of my situation and caring for me as a person."

Weekly winners: Rubio's news overshadowed on-court play this week, so consider these honorable mentions:

• Jarrett Allen: The big man continued his dominant play, averaging 21 points, 16 rebounds and five assists over his last seven games.
• Serena Winters: The Bally Sports sideline reporter had a viral moment this week, fist-bumping Allen without breaking stride during a post-game report.

What's next: The Cavs play only once this week, against the Brooklyn Nets in Paris.

• The game is part of the NBA's "Global Games'' program to expand its international fanbase.
• Tipoff is 2pm ET Thursday, and will be televised locally on Bally Sports Ohio.
