Rudy Fernandez, who was injured in the Spanish Supercup final, has undergone surgery to solve a wrist problem that has been dragging on since the summer, according to AS.com.

Via the report, the Spanish veteran will be out of basketball action for at least a month. He will begin his recovery process shortly.

The 37-year-old Fernandez fell hard on his wrist in last Sunday's final. He went straight to the bench, from which he never returned. The captain of the Spanish NT was in great pain.

After the match, Fernandez underwent an MRI to find out the extent of the injury. Later, it was decided to perform surgery.

The playing Real Madrid legend came after a great FIBA EuroBasket 2022 with the Spanish national team. He averaged 7.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 8.9 EFF while Spain won their 4th gold medal in 13 years.

Rudy Fernandez agreed on a one-year extension with the Royal club this off-season. He has been a member of Real since 2012.

Last season he averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 7.5 PIR over 34 EuroLeague games. Real reached the final but stumbled against Anadolu Efes Istanbul.
