LaMarcus Aldridge Sprains Left Ankle, X-Rays Negative
Steve Dykes-US PRESSWIRE

LaMarcus Aldridge was snubbed from the All-Star game last season but this year got redemption as he was voted in as a Western Conference reserve. Every Portland Trail Blazers fan was excited to hear that Aldridge would be in the game but that excitement turned to fear on Tuesday when Aldridge, while facing the Washington Wizards, hurt his left ankle and fell to the floor in pain.

The report from ESPN reads, “Portland Trail Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge was helped off the floor and taken into the locker room after apparently rolling his ankle in a game Tuesday night.

Aldridge let out a yell and fell to the floor after landing on Trevor Booker’s foot less than two minutes into the first quarter of Portland’s game with the Washington Wizards. He held onto his left leg while shaking his right.The crowd in the Rose Garden was silent while Aldridge was lying on the floor, but let out an audible groan as the replay was shown. After a couple minutes Aldridge was helped off the floor by teammates and athletic trainer Jay Jensen.”

A tweet from David Aldridge said that the X-rays on Aldridge’s left foot were negative so at least there was some good news regarding this injury. But injuries are never good no matter who it is and hopefully Aldridge will be able to come back quickly and make an appearance in the All-Star game in Orlando next Sunday.
