LaMarcus Aldridge: More tests on tap Monday

After Aldridge experienced an occurrence of minor heart arrhythmia following
Thursday’s loss to the Thunder, the Spurs announced prior to Saturday’s game
against the Warriors that the big man would be out indefinitely while doctors
look into the issue. It appears that Aldridge, who previously missed the final
nine games of his rookie season after being diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White
syndrome and 10 days in the 2011-12 season due to a recurrence of the condition,
will be treated with extreme caution, as the Spurs have no intention of playing
him until he receives full clearance from doctors to do so. The tests should
help shed some light on Aldridge’s situation, but until he’s able to return,
look for David Lee and Pau Gasol to pick up some extra playing time.
