TUALATIN, Ore. — Portland Trail Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez will not play Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns, Blazers coach Nate McMillan said.
Fernandez, who is recovering from a left quadriceps strain, will not travel with the team and will remain in Portland for treatment.
“He’s still sore,” McMillan said.
While the Blazers ran through an intense full-court scrimmage Saturday at the team’s practice facility, Fernandez sat on a training bench.
Fernandez suffered the strain during Portland’s 76-74 victory over Washington on Friday at the Rose Garden. He was held scoreless in 14 minutes of action, and did not play in the fourth quarter.
