The Trailblazers have lost Rudy Fernandez for the next 4-6 weeks due to surgery he needed to relieve pressure on a nerve root in his lower back. Fernandez has played in 20 games (0 starts) for the Blazers so far this season and he is averaging 23.3 minutes, 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game. This will really hurt the Trailblazers as Fernandez brings a lot of offensive punch off the bench.
