Aldrich was waived by the Hawks on Tuesday, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich was merely a camp body for the Hawks and wasn't expected to make much of an impact if he did surprisingly make it through the final roster cuts. Instead, Aldrich is now expected to head overseas and is finalizing a deal to play in China, according to freelance reporter Jeff Goodman. If he plays well with his Chinese club team, there's certainly a chance he's able to land a spot in the NBA next season.

Aldrich will sign a training camp deal with the Hawks, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich, who is entering his age 29 season, appeared in just 21 games for the Timberwolves last season as a depth option at center. If he ends up making the Hawks roster, it seems unlikely his role would be much bigger this season. He's never cracked 1,000 minutes in a single season.

Aldrich was waived by the Timberwolves on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich spent the previous two seasons in Minnesota, but saw his role largely reduced from an already limited workload this past year. He saw the court just 21 times for an average of 2.3 minutes per contest. The veteran big man will now pursue a new opportunity.

Aldrich did not see the floor during Sunday's loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

While the game was decided relatively early in the fourth quarter, Aldrich failed to enter the game and was listed as a DNP-CD. While he missed the previous three games with an illness, Aldrich looked to be available Sunday, but coach Tom Thibodeau opted to go with Justin Patton (four minutes) instead.

Alrdrich (illness) will remain out for Friday's game against Dallas, Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich will miss a third straight game while fighting an illness, but the expectation is that he'll be back to availability within the next few days. Regardless, the former Kansas standout isn't a fantasy contributor in leagues of any size.

Aldrich (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich will miss his second consecutive game as he continues to deal with an illness. His absence won't have much of an effect on the rotation, as he's averaging just 2.4 minutes per game this season. His next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Mavericks and he should be considered questionable for that game at this time.

Aldrich will not play Monday against the Grizzlies due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich has been mostly a garbage-time-only option for the Wolves , though he did play a season-high 12 minutes in Saturday's loss to the 76ers, marking the first time all year that he played double-digit minutes. Consider the veteran questionable to return Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Aldrich (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench in the Timberwolves' 127-99 win over the Cavaliers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich had seen spot minutes in garbage time in three of the Timberwolves' last six games, so it's somewhat surprising he didn't see any run in a contest Minnesota led by as many as 41 points. At any rate, it will take an injury to two of the Timberwolves' four key rotation members in the frontcourt (Karl-Anthony Towns, Taj Gibson, Gorgui Dieng and Nemanja Bjelica) before Aldrich sees even consistent run off the bench.

Aldrich (ankle) is available to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich was available to play in an emergency situation Monday, but didn't end up seeing the court. It's unclear if he'll ultimately play on Wednesday either, though the fact that he's available indicates he's likely nearing a full recovery of his sprained right ankle. Aldrich should provide depth at center behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Taj Gibson.

Aldrich (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Aldrich was available to play in Monday's matchup with the Jazz, but only in an emergency situation and ultimately didn't end up seeing the floor as he continues to nurse a sprained right ankle. He's now been downgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest and a final decision on his availability may not come until just prior to tip off. Gorgui Dieng (finger) is also doubtful, meaning the Timberwolves could once again be short on bodies in the frontcourt.
