San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls with a right thumb sprain.
Aldridge has only missed two other games this season. It's not clear when he injured his thumb, as he scored 10 points with 10 rebounds on Sunday while playing a full workload. Jakob Poeltl will likely make the start in the second leg of the back-to-back set. There could also be more minutes for Trey Lyles and Rudy Gay.
Poeltl averaged 37.5 FanDuel points in two spot starts for Aldridge earlier this season.
