Aldridge (chest) plays well in win vs. Sixers
LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Portland Trail Blazers
Dec. 30, 2012 - 2:10 AM ET
LaMarcus Aldridge (bruised chest) played on Saturday, as expected, and finished with 16 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in a win vs. the visiting Sixers.
Aldridge will be leaned on even more during the Blazers' upcoming four-game roadtrip since Meyers Leonard (ankle) isn't yet traveling with the team. Portland's 16-14 record has them just outside of the playoff picture, and they desperately need more production off the bench -- the second unit provided a paltry seven points on 3-of-13 shooting on Saturday.
