San Antonio Plays LaMarcus Aldridge Just 20 Minutes In Defeat

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge had gotten off to somewhat of a rocky start to begin 2020-21 from where his statistical production normally lies, but after logging just 20 minutes in a close loss Sunday versus the Pelicans, it's fair to question where he stands.
