    He originally was only going to miss two games, and now it's a week later, and he still hasn't played. Any word on when he comes back? This is a 30-win team without LaMarcus, and although it would be an all-time choke job to miss the playoffs, it could happen if LMA is done for the season.

    I heard that he is close but Stotts won't let him back until he completes a full practice.

    Isn't it? We've heard nothing from the team about it recently.

    Chris Haynes is reporting this. That LA won't play until he gets a full practice in. Obviously no practice tomorrow. He said tonight all signs point towards a return vs The Hawks. Nothing definitive of course. Either the Blazers are following Chip Kelly play book on reporting injury status, it's worse than they are saying, or they don't want to bring him back until he's at or near 100%. Maybe they feel like they rushed him back with the groin. They won't have the luxury to choose if they don't start winning some games.

    I actually think Stotts is using this injury to rest up Aldridge for the playoffs. I expect him to come back, fully healthy and having the energy he normally has when he's LA BEAST

    When I was young and playing full court on concrete I had a guy take my legs out from under me very similar to what Bazemore did to LA...bruised my tailbone just like LA and it was extremely painful. Took a long time to heal. I don't think it's to rest LA as much as to heal fully and make sure it doesn't lead to a worse injury. Limited movement causes compensation for the rest of the body and can be high risk. It's smart to rest him until he's able to move unrestricted
