SAN ANTONIO -- Time off the court proved beneficial on it for San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge.
Having missed the past two games due to a sprained left ankle, Aldridge returned to the starting lineup Wednesday night and contributed 18 points, while Kawhi Leonard racked up a game-high 26 in an 88-83 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
“I felt fresh. My body felt good,” Aldridge said. “I gained energy, fresh legs. Watching the games, I learned my spots a little bit better. So I gained. I didn’t lose anything.
