Updates on Ariza and Fernandez

HOUSTON — Trevor Ariza won’t be suspended for his flagrant foul Monday night that sent Portland’s Rudy Fernandez to the hospital. The NBA is still looking at the scuffle that broke out after Fernandez hit the deck. Fernandez was expected to be released from the hospital this afternoon, according to a blog post on the Oregonian newspaper’s Web site. Fernandez suffered a bruised chest and a rip hip pointer from his fall. He is doubtful to play in Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, however.
