LaMarcus Aldridge probable to return from illness Tuesday
Mark D. Smith-USA TODAY Sports
Portland Trail Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge has been listed as probable for Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Raptors.
The three-time All-Star has missed the last two games with an upper respiratory illness, and appears ready to return just as the Blazers, the No. 2 team in the Western Conference, welcome the Raps, the No. 1 team in the East.
The Blazers had no trouble without their star big man against the bottom-feeding Knicks and 76ers. Aldridge is averaging 22.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks this season.
