The procedure was performed on April 24. Aldridge injured his shoulder on February 21 against the Utah Jazz and missed six games shortly thereafter. He turned in 24 points with 3 steals and 4 blocks in a one-game return before the league was suspended for the COVID-19 pandemic. Jakob Poeltl, Rudy Gay, Trey Lyles, and Drew Eubanks could all see more run when the league returns on July 31. The Spurs are currently four games out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
