Rudy Fernández has been complaining of leg pain lately and has missed the last two games as team doctors diagnosed and analyzed where the pain was originating.

It was discovered that a pressure on a nerve in his back was causing him leg pain. So the 6-6 Fernández is scheduled to have a microdiscectomy Tuesday to alleviate that nerve pressure.
Fernández, the second-year player from Spain, will miss between four and six weeks as he recovers from the surgery. The timetable targets his return in mid-January, meaning he’ll miss roughly 20% of the season, or 17 games.
The news comes on the heels of the season-ending broken kneecap injury suffered by third-year player Greg Oden.
Without Oden and Fernández, who is averaging 8.6 points, 2.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 23.3 minutes a game this season, Portland is down to just nine available players for their game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
