• LaMarcus Aldridge
    PF, San Antonio Spurs

    Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News says that signs point to LaMarcus Aldridge (sprained right thumb) returning on Saturday against the Hornets.

    Aldridge fully participated in Saturday's shootaround after missing the prior two games. Jakob Poeltl would return to the bench in a low-minute, block-specialist role while Aldridge will resume his early second-round production, blocking a career-high 1.7 shots per game and knocking down a career-high 1.2 triples per game without his field goal percentage suffering in the least bit.
