Present in the play-offs continuously since 1997, the San Antonio Spurs hope to qualify for the 23rd season in a row for the finals. But it will take a miracle. Not only are the Texans five times behind Memphis, eighth in the Western Conference, while the franchises will play just eight games each when the season resumes on July 31 in Orlando, they have also lost star LaMarcus Aldridge. . The strong winger (or pivot) of almost 35 years has undergone an arthroscopy of the rotator cuff of the right shoulder and will not be able to replay this season. The announcement was made on Monday by Spurs, but the operation took place on April 24.
Nearly 19 points average
“I’m disappointed not to finish the season with my teammates, but excited because I’ll be completely ready for the next season, and the rest,” responded the former Portland player, who was injured on February 21 against Oklahoma and then missed six games, before the season was interrupted. The next season is due to start on December 1, which indeed gives him time to recover. This season, LaMarcus Aldridge, who still has one year of contract with the Spurs, averaged 18.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in 53 games.
