Aldridge (thumb) was an active participant during Team USA's two-day minicamp, implying he's healthy three months removed from left thumb surgery to repair a torn ligament.

Analysis:

Aldridge played a considerable portion of this past season with the ailment, and the non-contact environment of the Las Vegas practices didn't provide an accurate glimpse into his recovery. Aldridge's initial timeline after surgery in May was eight weeks, and Aldridge should be fine heading into training camp, if not already. He won't participate in the intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday, but many of today's stars are skipping that event for one reason or another.
