After spending the first nine years of his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers, LaMarcus Aldridge doesn't expect a warm reception for his first game back in Portland.

The new San Antonio Spurs star provided his reasoning for that on ESPN Radio's The Russillo Show, via ESPN:

"I think going back [to Portland] my first time might be boos because I think people are really hurt by my decision. They don't understand why I left. So I think my first game back, I probably will be booed."
