A double blow snatched Real Madrid yesterday in a meeting with the Red Star Belgrade.
First, she was defeated by surprise (79:77), second, star Rudy Fernandez was injured towards the end and is expected to be absent the next day against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Fernandez injured his back and needed help to get off the field, after being his team’s standout slinger in the game (11 points).
It is estimated that he will need several days of recovery that will prevent him from joining his team for a game at Yad Eliyahu.
His injury increases the number of shortcomings in Real: Sergio Yui has been out for a number of games due to injury (he will also miss the meeting with Maccabi), Anthony Randolph ended the season due to his own injury a few weeks ago, and since the departure of Fukdeno Campo to Denver Nuggets he has not been replaced.
Today it was announced in Spain that Thomas Hartl will play for Real next season.
After a long saga the player was released today from Barcelona.
The release agreement states that the player will not move to a Spanish team this season.
He will also not be able to play in the Euroleague this season, as the transfer window for this season has expired.
