Spurs' LaMarcus Aldridge: Withdraws from 2016 Summer Olympics
Aldridge announced Monday that he would withdraw from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis:
Aldridge and Stephen Curry are the latest U.S. invitees to pull out of the competition, joining the likes of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Anthony Davis and John Wall. The Spurs big man cited a recent hand injury as the reason he won't participate, so he'll sit out this summer and avoid risking an aggravation by playing with Team USA.
