Aldridge (knee) will play in Tuesday's contest against the Lakers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge will finally return to the lineup after a three-game absence due to a left knee injury. The center is currently averaging 12.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in three starts. With Aldridge returning, Jakob Poeltl will presumably slide back into a bench role.
