Rudy Fernandez of the Portland Trail Blazers has been fined $50,000 for public statements detrimental to the NBA, the league announced today.
The statements, which concerned a desire to be released by the Trail Blazers, were made by Fernandez’s agent, Gerard Darnes, on October 6. Fernandez was previously fined $25,000 on August 19 for statements concerning his desire to be traded or released by Portland.
With rumours of a move back to his homeland – and a place on Regal FC Barcelona’s roster ready for him, is this a final nail in Fernandez’ NBA coffin?
