LaMarcus Aldridge, Lonnie Walker IV Will Miss Monday’s Contest
4 years agoSan Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) and shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) have both been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors. Aldridge's absence marks his third in a row and is an indication that he'll be sidelined for an extended period of time due to a hip ailment; fantasy managers will be alerted when he is at least close to returning. As for Walker, he's missing his second straight outing with an illness, which should allow Derrick White to remain among the starting five. Walker has shot just 30 percent from the field over his last four contests, averaging 5.3 PPG in that span, making him a difficult fantasy asset to roster in season-long formats. The next chance that he'll have to suit up comes Tuesday in a rematch with Golden State.

LaMarcus Aldridge Out Again On Sunday
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) won't play against the Knicks on Sunday. The veteran is currently dealing with a right hip issue, and he's missed two games already as a result. He's expected to be out at least another week, which will allow Nicolas Claxton and James Johnson to get some additional minutes. However, Johnson should be the preferred option for fantasy managers, primarily after posting 16 points and five blocks on Thursday during the win over Philadelphia.

LaMarcus Aldridge Will Miss Next Two Contests
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. Charlotte and Thursday's matchup with the 76ers after undergoing an MRI on his hip. Aldridge has been an integral part of the Nets' second unit for the majority of the season, averaging 13.5 PPG while shooting a career-best 55.4 percent from the floor. Nicolas Claxton and Blake Griffin figure to snag an additional handful of minutes in the frontcourt, while larger offensive roles should fall to Patty Mills and Cam Thomas off Brooklyn's bench. Aldridge's next opportunity to suit up comes Sunday against the Knicks.

LaMarcus Aldridge Won't Play Saturday
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It sounds like the veteran big man is going to be sitting out through the All-Star break. That's not good news for his fantasy value with Andre Drummond in town. Drummond should immediately slide into the starting five in Brooklyn Aldridge is going to take a significant hit in value due to the fact Drummond is in the rotation. Fantasy managers can wait and see how they coexist if they want, but Aldridge might not be worth rostering in standard leagues for much longer.

LaMarcus Aldridge Will Be Sidelined Tuesday
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Boston as he continues to work his way back from a sprained left ankle. Aldridge's absence is set to mark his fifth in a row, and should pave the way for Blake Griffin to play a significant role in the frontcourt, especially if Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is ultimately held out as well. Aldridge has been an integral member of the Nets' second unit over his past seven appearances, averaging 14 points and 5.6 boards despite playing just 23.1 minutes on a nightly basis. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday vs. the Wizards.
