Al-Farouq Aminu (back) plays 30 minutes in return for Portland
Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu (back) played 30 minutes in his return to the starting lineup on Wednesday, racking up 5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
What It Means:
Aminu has played in only four games since November 8, but rust didn't seem to be an issue, as he played well over his season-average of 24.5 minutes.
The Blazers have the league's worst defensive rating this season, and getting back Aminu -- who has the best defensive rating on the team this season -- should provide a nice boost on that end of the floor.
