Spurs' LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) ruled out for Friday's game

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge will not play on Friday in the team's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

This is marking Aldridge's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines as he deals with a strained right shoulder, and it's currently unclear when he'll be able to return to the court. In his stead, Trey Lyles will likely pick up another start down low.

In 52 games this season, Aldridge has averaged 18.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 36.7 FanDuel points.
