LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE NEWS

Flirts with triple-double in loss Aldridge ended Tuesday's 109-108 loss to the Raptors with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes.

Impact Aldridge stepped into the starting lineup with Andre Drummond ruled out due to a knee injury, falling just one rebound short of a double-double. It's been an up-and-down season for the veteran and the arrival of Drummond appears to have put a pin in any chance Aldridge had of being a standard-league asset. He can be utilized for streaming purposes on nights such as this but is likely to be more of a deeper-league commodity for the rest of the season.

Starting Tuesday Aldridge will start Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact With Andre Drummond (knee) resting a sore knee, Aldridge joins the starting five at center, marking the Nets' 35th different starting lineup this season. As a starter this year, he's averaging 14.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 27.9 minutes.

Scores 15 points in blowout loss Aldridge posted 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Monday's 133-97 loss to Toronto.

Impact Aldridge logged 20 minutes off the bench, turning in what was actually a decent fantasy line, especially given the end result. With Andre Drummond arriving in Brooklyn, Aldridge has been relegated to a backup role, limiting his opportunities. The veteran has been a fringe 12-team asset all season long, but given his current trajectory, he is better suited to deeper formats moving forward.

Double-doubles off bench Aldridge logged 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 win over New York.

Impact Aldridge and Andre Drummond once again split time time at the center position, as Blake Griffin (eight minutes) and Nicolas Claxton (DNP) took a backseat. Aldridge scored in double figures for a second straight contest and notched his first double-double since Nov. 22. When healthy, Aldridge has been a consistent scorer for Brooklyn and should continue to garner plenty of opportunities as long as Kevin Durant (knee) and Ben Simmons (not injury related) remain sidelined.

Excels in return to action Aldridge (ankle) produced 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 109-85 win over Sacramento.

Impact In his return from a seven-game absence, Aldridge was part of a near-even timeshare at center with the newly acquired Andre Drummond, who started and played 24 minutes. Meanwhile, Blake Griffin (three minutes) and Day'Ron Sharpe (two minutes) picked up the scraps at the center and likely won't be part of the rotation on more competitive nights. However, Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) was also cleared to return from a multi-game absence Monday, and while he didn't play, it's possible he could be part of a three-man committee at center in the games to come. If that's the case, Aldridge would be tough to count on to contribute consistently, even though his performance Monday was undoubtedly impressive.

Not listed on injury report Aldridge (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Kings.

Impact Aldridge has been sidelined for seven consecutive contests, but it appears he will be available Monday. However, it's unclear how big of a role he will have, as the Nets are also expected to get Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) back from a four-game absence. Plus, Andre Drummond (trade pending) could also be making his Brooklyn debut.

Impact James Harden (hamstring) won't be joining the Nets for its two-game road trip either, with both players set to remain in Brooklyn to continue their respective rehabs from injury. Aldridge hasn't played since Jan. 29 due to the left ankle sprain, and he could be subject to a minute restriction whenever he eventually returns to the lineup. Meanwhile, Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest after missing Brooklyn's last two games, so if he's sidelined in Washington, the Nets would likely turn to Blake Griffin and Day'Ron Sharpe to cover most of the minutes at center.

FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Aldridge (ankle) is out Thursday against the Wizards, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Aldridge will be unavailable for a sixth straight game as he continues to deal with a left ankle sprain. Blake Griffin, Day'Ron Sharpe and James Johnson should continue to see increased run.

FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • Associated Press

Likely to remain out Tuesday Aldridge (ankle) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Aldridge missed a fourth straight game Sunday against the Nuggets with a sprained left ankle, and coach Steve Nash indicated postgame that the big man will likely miss at least one more contest. Assuming he sits Tuesday, Aldridge's next chances to play will come Thursday at Washington and Saturday at Miami.
