Aldridge posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocked shots and two assists across 23 minutes in Saturday's 126-101 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

It appears that the center job is Aldridge's to lose, as DeAndre Jordan hasn't seen action since March 31st. Jordan's absence isn't due to injury but rather a DNP decision from coach Steve Nash. It's a strong indication that they will give Aldridge every opportunity to be a fixture in the team's starting lineup for the remainder of the season.

Aldridge registered 22 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 23 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge posted one of his best scoring performances of the season and his best game as a member of the Nets, as he was extremely efficient from the field en route to scoring 22 points -- something he hadn't done since Jan. 22 when he posted 26 points against the Mavericks while playing for the Spurs. Aldridge is averaging 13.0 points per game in four starts with Brooklyn, a span in which he's shooting 50 percent from the field and 4-of-5 from three-point range.

Aldridge recorded 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three blocked shots and an assist across 26 minutes in Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets will have an embarrassment of riches once the trio of Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant are together on the floor again. Sunday's roster sent a strong signal about how the frontcourt will play out, as DeAndre Jordan was a DNP, levied by coach Steve Nash. This indicates that the tentative plan is to hand the keys over to Aldridge under the basket to see what he can do. Several scenarios could be in play depending on the matchup, but it's highly unlikely that Jordan and Aldridge would share the court, especially upon Durant's return. Overall, Sunday's decision is a great sign for Aldridge's managers.

Aldridge will start in Sunday's game against Chicago, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge will remain in the starting lineup for the second game in a row while the team remains without Kevin Durant (hamstring) and James Harden (hamstring). The 35-year-old scored 11 points across 30 minutes in his debut with the team Thursday, but he could have a lesser role Sunday with Blake Griffin no longer resting.

Aldridge had 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block across 30 minutes in Thursday's win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge didn't have the best shooting performance in his Brooklyn debut, but he still ended one board shy of a double-double while contributing on both ends of the floor. The veteran big man will be in the mix for plenty of minutes at center, and this performance might grant him another start when the Nets take on the Pacers on Sunday -- regardless DeAndre Jordan or Blake Griffin, who missed Thursday's game due to rest, are available.

Aldridge will start in Thursday's game against Charlotte, Michael Grady of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his first game with the Nets, Aldridge will somewhat surprisingly be in the starting lineup. With Blake Griffin (rest) sidelined Thursday, the center rotation will involve Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan and Nicolas Claxton. Considering Aldridge hasn't appeared in an NBA game since March 1, he's a risky play in DFS contests.

Aldridge (conditioning) will be available for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After getting his conditioning back up, Aldridge is ready to debut for the Nets. It seems possible he'll see limited minutes in his first game action since March 1. Still, we should get some idea of how the team plans to use him.

Aldridge (conditioning) will miss at least two more games while ramping up his on-court work, Malika Andrews of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Steve Nash said he expects the Nets' latest addition to miss anywhere from two-to-four more games, as he increases his activity level following an inactive streak to conclude his time with the Spurs. The veteran big man hasn't played since March 1, so the Nets are bringing him along slowly with the expectation that he'll be closer to full speed within a week or so. Also of note: Nash told the media Monday that Aldridge will have an opportunity to compete for a spot in the starting lineup, which is likely part of the reason he chose Brooklyn over other top suitors like Miami and Portland.

Aldridge (conditioning) won't be available to make his Brooklyn debut Monday against the Timberwolves, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Nets signed Aldridge over the weekend once his buyout with the Spurs became official, the veteran center will be given some time to get up to full speed with his new squad. Since he hasn't played in a game since March 1 before mutually agreeing to part ways with the Spurs, Aldridge will have to steadily ramp up his on-court activity in practices before the Nets are comfortable signing off on him playing. Once given the green light to suit up, Aldridge will be part of a crowded frontcourt rotation that includes DeAndre Jordan, Nicolas Claxton, Blake Griffin, Jeff Green and perhaps as soon as next week, Kevin Durant (hamstring). Given the heavy competition for playing time, Aldridge may not be promised much more than 20 minutes -- if that -- in most games.

Aldridge signed a one-year contract with the Nets on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aldridge agreed to a buyout with the Spurs on Thursday and will now join the talented Nets lineup on a one-year pact. The 35-year-old averaged 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 25.9 minutes per contest in 21 appearances with the Spurs to begin the season. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to debut for Brooklyn on Monday.
