Aldridge will not play Monday against the Timberwolves due to an illness, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is the illness is not COVID-19-related, but it will still keep Aldridge out of at least one game as the Nets enter a four-game Week 17. Nicolas Claxton, DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin could all be candidates to start in Aldridge's place at center Monday night.
