LaMarcus Aldridge Fantasy Stats

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It appears the veteran big man will make his return to the court here. However, Andre Drummond has been playing well as a starter, so the team will likely keep him there. Although, Nicolas Claxton and Blake Griffin are expected to take significant hits in value with Aldridge returning. Aldridge could have decent streaming appeal, but it depends on how much he plays during his first game back.

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Boston as he continues to work his way back from a sprained left ankle.

Brooklyn Nets forward LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) is expected to miss a few more games. The veteran sprained his left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Golden State Warriors and hasn't been in the lineup since. Fortunately, he is expected back sometime before the All-Star break. Yet, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it back until after.

Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is also sidelined, so the Nets are going to be shorthanded in the front court.
