Wojnarowski: Rubio to stay in Spain for two more seasons

The Minnesota Timberwolves and the NBA will have to wait until 2011 for Ricky Rubio to leave Europe, a high-level source told Yahoo! Sports on Monday night.

Regal of Barcelona has agreed to a six-year contract with Rubio after working out a buyout package with DKV Joventut of Spain on Monday. Rubio’s contract with Barcelona doesn’t allow for an NBA buyout until after the 2010-11 season.

After weeks of haggling, Minnesota Timberwolves GM David Kahn was unable to facilitate a buyout that would’ve brought the fifth pick in the 2009 draft to the NBA this season.
