Aldridge is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to left wrist soreness, Jeff Garcia of News 4 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge has emerged from Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a sore wrist, and it's possible he misses Saturday's contest despite a fair chunk of time off. If he ends up on the sideline, Jakob Poeltl, Pau Gasol and Dante Cunningham could see extra run.

Aldridge furnished 30 points (13-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 33 minutes in the Spurs' 103-95 loss to the Clippers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge's scoring and rebounding total both paced either squad, with his 61.9 percent shooting an extension of what has already been an excellent offensive month. Aldridge has already eclipsed the 60.0 percent mark from the field on six occasions in January, leading to an average of 23.7 points across 10 contests during the month. The 33-year-old is also making his customary strong contributions in other categories, keeping his value robust across all formats.

Aldridge scored a team-high 28 points (11-17 FG, 6-6 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 37 minutes during Monday's 108-93 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
While it didn't match his 56-point explosion from Thursday, Aldridge still put together a strong performance. The veteran big now has 13 double-doubles on the season, but this was his first in almost a month as he fell short by a single rebound four times over that 13-game stretch.

Aldridge scored a game-high 32 points (13-23 FG, 6-7 FT) while adding nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-111 win over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
He's only scored 30 or more points four times this season, but two of those outbursts have come in the last two games. Aldridge is inching back towards the 20.0 PPG mark on the year, and his 9.0 boards per game is also his best performance in that category since 2014-15, his last season in Portland.

Aldridge generated 27 points (13-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes in the Spurs' 111-103 win over the Nuggets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge checked in behind only DeMar DeRozan in scoring for the Spurs on the night, and he's now posted 20 or more points in five of his last seven games. It's a welcome uptick in offensive production for the 33-year-old, who'd been a bit inconsistent on that front in November. Aldridge is now averaging over four more points per game in December (20.7, compared to 16.5), a boost that's been fueled by a 59.7 percent success rate from the field that leaves last month's 42.7 percent figure in the dust.

EDGE Analysis
Aldridge played just 23 minutes during Friday's blowout victory over the Timberwolves. The starters were not required down the stretch as the Timberwolves capitulated. The Spurs will need to back up against the Rockets on Saturday in what could be an interesting matchup.

Aldridge finished with 29 points (10-16 FG, 9-11 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 37 minutes during Saturday's 98-93 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Aldridge had his highest scoring game in almost two weeks Saturday, finishing with 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting. He also recorded double-digit rebounds for the first time since November 24. The Spurs blew a 21 point lead in this one and will look to bounce back against the 76ers on Monday in what will be a tough matchup for Aldridge.
