Aldridge (thumb) will not play in Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Analysis:

Aldridge is dealing with a torn ligament in his other hand, but Sunday's issue is unrelated. Dorell Wright and Chris Kaman are candidates to play added minutes in Aldridge's absence, and the Blazers will likely make greater use of small lineups.
