Spurs and LaMarcus Aldridge working on contract extension

The San Antonio Spurs and forward LaMarcus Aldridge are working on a contract extension according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

What It Means:

Aldridge spoke with coach Gregg Popovich over the summer about his role on offense, and over five preseason games, Aldridge averaged 18.0 points per contest. With Kawhi Leonard out for opening night and potentially longer, Aldridge is going to hold extra fantasy value early in the year.

Our models project Aldridge for 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in the Spurs' Wednesday game against the Wolves. That's a net of 32.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,000.
