Aldridge is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to right wrist soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a six-game absence due to a hip injury, Aldridge played 26 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, but he picked up a wrist injury along the way. If he sits, Jakob Poeltl and Trey Lyles would be in line for increased usage.

Aldridge (hip) played 26 minutes in Wednesday in the Spurs' 102-99 loss to the Thunder, finishing with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs were down several key rotation players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but they at least returned one player to the lineup in Aldridge, who had missed the last six games with a right hip flexor injury. The big man was able to tick off every category of the stat sheet, but the poor efficiency limited some of the impact. Head coach Gregg Popovich notably chose to bring Aldridge off the bench, and the 35-year-old could remain on the second unit moving forward in light of how well Jakob Poeltl fared as the starting center while Aldridge was sidelined.

Aldridge will be available for Wednesday's game agains the Thunder, but he will not start, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge is not expected to face a minutes restriction, but the Spurs will apparently ease him back into action as he makes his return from a six-game injury absence. The depleted Spurs will roll with a starting five of Jakob Poeltl, Trey Lyles, Luka Samanic, Lonnie Walker and Dejounte Murray.

Aldridge (hip) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs will be without a number of regulars -- including DeMar DeRozan (personal), Rudy Gay (health and safety protocols), Derrick White (health and safety protocols) and Keldon Johnson (health and safety protocols) -- Wednesday night, so Aldridge's return is a major boost, giving San Antonio 10 active players. Given that it will be Aldridge's first appearance since Feb. 1, it's possible he could face some restrictions, though the team has not set a specific workload target. Aldridge averaged 25.6 minutes over his last 10 healthy games.

Aldridge (hip) went through practice Monday and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Spurs play-by-play man Dan Weiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Spurs are dealing with several COVID-19-related absences, the silver lining is that Aldridge was able to return to practice Monday for the first time since he suffered a strained hip at the beginning of February. The team will wait to see how Aldridge feels Tuesday before updating his status. If he's ultimately unable to play, San Antonio would likely only have nine available bodies.

Aldridge (hip) is without a return timetable, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge will miss a sixth straight game Sunday against the Clippers, and it sounds as though the Spurs are bracing for the veteran to miss several more contests, as coach Gregg Popovich said he's "not particularly close" to a return. Fantasy-wise, this should extend Jakob Poeltl's run as a fantasy-viable center. Poeltl has started the last five games and is averaging 10.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in that span.

Aldridge (hip) is out Sunday against the Hornets, RJ Marquez of KSAT 12 San Antonio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge received a pain-reducing injection Tuesday, but he's still not ready to take the court. Sunday will mark his sixth straight absence. His next chance to return is Tuesday against the Pistons.

Aldridge (hip) will be reevaluated in four or five days after receiving a pain-reducing injection Tuesday, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge was already ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Warriors, and it appears he'll also be sidelined through at least Friday's game against the Hawks before being evaluated this weekend. Jakob Poeltl should continue to operate as San Antonio's primary center in the meantime.

Aldridge (hip) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Warriors, RJ Marquez of KSAT 12 San Antonio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge will miss his fourth game in a row due to a hip injury. Jakob Poeltl has been quite good with Aldridge sidelined, averaging 11.7 points on 64.0 percent shooting, 10.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks over the last three games.

Aldridge (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge is expected to see doctors at the beginning of the week, and the Spurs officially ruled him out for Monday's game. In his absence, Jakob Poeltl should continue to see increased run for San Antonio.
