    Better hope it's not serious if you're a Blazers fan. Even though they probably won't make the playoffs, Aldridge should still play a big role on the team this year, and you want him healthy from the get go. If he's not, he's going to have issues developing chemistry between teammates, especially if he has to miss some of training camp or the preseason.
