LaMarcus Aldridge: (Illness) Will Not Play Saturday

Aldridge (upper respiratory illness) will not play Saturday against the Nets.

Analysis:

Aldridge was considered doubtful for this game, so hopefully this doesn't catch fantasy owners as a surprise. The Blazers have not yet confirmed who will start in Aldridge's place, though Thomas Robinson seems to be the most likely candidate. We'll consider Aldridge questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans until we hear otherwise.
