Excerpt from the AP recap via espn.com- The Blazers were without rookie swingman Rudy Fernandez for the second straight game. Fernandez had a bruised chest and a hip pointer from a scary fall he took against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. Fernandez on a fast break when was fouled by Trevor Ariza and crashed to the floor. He was taken from the floor on a stretcher with his neck in a brace, and was hospitalized overnight. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=290313022
