Aldridge (ankle) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge missed a fourth straight game Sunday against the Nuggets with a sprained left ankle, and coach Steve Nash indicated postgame that the big man will likely miss at least one more contest. Assuming he sits Tuesday, Aldridge's next chances to play will come Thursday at Washington and Saturday at Miami.

Aldridge (ankle) will miss at least the Nets' next four games, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
An MRI on Aldridge's left ankle revealed what appears to be a fairly severe sprain, as the Nets were comfortable ruling the veteran out for the remainder of their five-game road trip, which concludes Sunday at Denver. It's unclear how much time Aldridge will ultimately miss, though coach Steve Nash said he's hopeful that the big man will be able to get back on the floor before the All-Star break.

Aldridge (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge missed Monday's practice session and will undergo an MRI on his left ankle, so he'll be unavailable for the first half of a back-to-back set. Nicolas Claxton, Blake Griffin and James Johnson are in line for additional run in the frontcourt Tuesday.

Aldridge (ankle) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge was seen in a walking boot after exiting Saturday's loss to the Warriors with a left ankle sprain, and he'll undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. If he's unavailable Tuesday against the Suns, Nicolas Claxton, Blake Griffin and James Johnson would likely see increased work.

Aldridge was spotted moving about with a walking boot on his sprained left ankle after exiting Saturday's 110-106 loss to the Warriors, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brooklyn has yet to disclose the grade of the ankle sprain Aldridge sustained in the contest, but the fact that he was fitted for a boot doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Tuesday in Phoenix. If Aldridge isn't fit to play against the Suns, the Nets would likely turn to a combination of Nicolas Claxton, Blake Griffin and James Johnson to cover the minutes at center.

Aldridge posted 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 33 minutes Wednesday in the Nets' 124-118 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time since returning in mid-January from a five-game absence due to foot soreness, Aldridge entered the starting five. He received the appointment to the top unit due to Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) being sidelined, but Aldridge will likely come off the bench Saturday at Golden State in the likely event that both of the younger centers are available. Expect Aldridge to stick in a 20-to-25-minute role when Brooklyn is at full strength in the frontcourt, rendering the 36-year-old more of a low-end option in 12-team leagues.

Aldridge is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) sidelined, Aldridge is set to make his first start since Jan. 1. The veteran is averaging 13.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game this season.

Aldridge racked up 27 points (11-15 FG, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 victory over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge's 27 points marked a season high, as well as his first time exceeding 20 points since mid-November. Nonetheless, he has been extremely reliable for Brooklyn. Per-36 minutes, Aldridge is averaging 20.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Along with a career-best 56.6 shooting percentage, an uptick in fantasy relevance sans Kevin Durant (knee) is possible.

Aldridge provided 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 114-107 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first appearance since Jan. 7 due to a foot injury, Aldridge came off the bench as the Nets opted to roll with Day'Ron Sharpe (24 minutes) at center with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) out. Both players split minutes evenly, however, and Aldridge salvaged a decent fantasy line with the steal and block. Whether he recaptures the starting job at some point or not, Aldridge's fantasy value is pretty limited at this point in his career.
