Portland's Fernandez to miss 4-6 weeks

Dec 9, 2009, 9:32 GMT

Los Angeles - Rudy Fernandez of the Portland Trail Blazers will be sidelined from 4-6 weeks after the Spanish native underwent successful surgery Tuesday to alleviate pain in his right leg. The microdiscetomy procedure relieved pressure from a nerve root in his lower back that caused discomfort in the leg. 'The procedure was successful and we can now turn our attention to getting Rudy healthy and back on the court,' Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard said in a statement. 'He's been under a lot of pain and we look forward to Rudy returning healthier than ever.' Fernandez appeared in Portland's first 20 games this season, averaging 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists. The second year forward/guard is also hitting 38.8 per cent (31-for-80) of his three-pointers.
