Portland Trail Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez said he will play tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Rose Garden.

“I’m ready,” Fernandez said, following a warmup session.

The 6-foot-6, 185-pound native of Palma de Mallorca, Spain has officially been out since Dec. 8, following a microdiscectomy to alleviate pain in his right leg.

The second-year guard is averaging 8.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 20 games this season.

Blazers coach Nate McMillan said Fernandez will slowly be worked back into the rotation, and will have his time on the court limited to about 10 minutes during the next few games.
