According to journalist Pilar Casado from COPE, Rudy Fernandez suffered a Grade 2 right adductor strain during the match.

The recovery time usually differs from player to player but Fernandez is expected to be out at least for several weeks.

Rudy has managed to play only 4 games in the EuroLeague this season. The veteran player had previously suffered a wrist injury during the Spanish Super Cup final against FC Barcelona in September, which forced him to undergo surgery.

Carlos Alocen and Anthony Randolph are currently sidelined with long-term injuries. On top of that, Gabriel Deck and Edy Tavares have dealt with muscle fatigue throughout this season as well.

With 15 wins and 7 losses, Real Madrid share the top spot in the EuroLeague standings with Olympiacos Piraeus.
