DALLAS -- The Portland Trail Blazers will have their All-Star power forward back when they visit the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night in the regular season finale for both teams.
LaMarcus Aldridge said at the team's morning shootaround that he would play "regular minutes" against the Mavericks, pushing himself to gain "rhythm" and "build wind" in a playoff tune-up at American Airlines Center.
Aldridge has missed the last two games with a sprained left foot. As for the other injured Blazers:
Nicolas Batum (right knee contusion) and CJ McCollum (sprained left ankle), along with injured rotation players Wesley Matthews (left Achilles), Arron Afflalo (strained right shoulder) and Dorell Wright (left hand fracture), will not play against the Mavericks.
