EDGE Analysis

After missing five consecutive contests due to COVID-19 protocols, Aldridge returned for two games -- starting in both -- before missing the Nets' most recent contest with the foot issue. The veteran big man told reporters Wednesday that he was symptomatic while in quarantine and is still trying to regain conditioning, so the Nets could be inclined to manage his playing time carefully, given his history of cardiac concerns. If that's the case, he and Nicolas Claxton could be in line for a split of the center minutes Wednesday.

Aldridge was one of four players Brooklyn welcomed back from stints in the protocols, with Kevin Durant, Cam Thomas and David Duke also making their returns. Though he had been starting at center prior to missing the Nets' previous five games, Aldridge shifted over to power forward Thursday, forming a supersized frontcourt with Nicolas Claxton. One of Aldridge or Claxton will move to the bench when the likes of Kyrie Irving (conditioning) and Joe Harris (ankle) are available, but Aldridge should be secure in a 20-plus-minute role for the time being.
