Aldridge (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavs, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
This comes as a surprise, as the Spurs indicated as recently as Monday night that Aldridge would likely miss another game. His sprained right shoulder is apparently feeling better, however, so as of Tuesday afternoon, the expectation is that he'll return after missing the previous six contests.

Aldridge (shoulder) is expected to sit out Tuesday's game against Dallas, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Spurs initially hoped Aldridge would only miss a few games, but assuming he sits Tuesday, it will be his seventh consecutive absence. Expect Drew Eubanks and Trey Lyles to continue handling most of the center minutes.

Aldridge (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game against Cleveland, Matthew R. Tynan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge wasn't included in the Spurs' travel plans for this weekend, effectively ruling him out Sunday. The veteran center's streak of missed games will reach six with his next opportunity to return coming Tuesday against the Mavericks.

Aldridge (shoulder) will not play Friday against the the Nets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge is still recovering from a right shoulder strain and will miss a fourth straight game as a result. With Jakob Poeltl (knee) also sidelined, Drew Eubanks and Trey Lyles should continue to see most of the minutes at center.

Aldridge (shoulder) is expected to remain out for Tuesday's game in Charlotte, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The big man will miss a third straight game Monday night against Indiana, and coach Gregg Popovich all but ruled him out for Tuesday's game on the second half of a back-to-back. McDonald notes that "if all goes well", Aldridge could be back in the lineup for Friday's game in Brooklyn.

Aldridge (shoulder) has been ruled out of Monday's game against Indiana, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sore shoulder will officially cost Aldridge a third consecutive game, and he could be in danger of missing a fourth with the Spurs playing on the first half of a back-to-back set. With Jakob Poeltl (knee) also out, the Spurs will have to dig a bit deeper into the depth chart up front. Trey Lyles, in particular, should continue to be set for increased minutes as long as Aldridge remains out.

Aldridge (shoulder) was unable to participate in Monday's shootaround, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge's inability to go through shootaround doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Monday. An update from the team closer to tipoff should solidify his availability.

Aldridge (shoulder) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against Indiana, Evan Closky of KENS 5 in San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge has already missed the last two games with a sore right shoulder, and it appears he's headed toward a third consecutive absence. Jakob Poeltl (knee) started in his place Saturday night against Orlando, but Poeltl was diagnosed with a sprained MCL on Sunday, so the Spurs will likely have to go with Trey Lyles at center.

Aldridge (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic, Matthew R. Tynan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran big man was able to participate in Friday's non-contact practice, but he'll end up missing his second consecutive contest due to the right shoulder soreness. Aldridge's next chance to retake the court will be Monday versus the Pacers. Lonnie Walker started in his place Wednesday, with Trey Lyles shifting to center.
