ATLANTA (AP) -Rudy Fernandez has returned for the Portland Trail Blazers after missing two games with chest and hip injuries from a hard foul.
Fernandez went scoreless in 18 minutes during Portland’s 98-80 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
Fernandez left Monday’s win over the Lakers on a stretcher with his neck in a brace after Trevor Arias fouled him from behind and sent the swingman crashing to the floor.
The incident led to a brief skirmish. Lakers forward Lamar Odom was the only player disciplined by the NBA, serving a one-game suspension for leaving the bench.
Fernandez was hospitalized for one night. He missed Portland’s loss Wednesday to Dallas and Friday’s win over New Jersey. Against the Hawks, he went 0-for-4 from the field with one rebound and no assists.
