Spurs’ Aldridge would be OK with return to Portland

Seven-time All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge spent his first nine seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, and he is open to finishing his career with the club.

Aldridge, now in his fifth season with the San Antonio Spurs, will become a free agent after the 2020-21 campaign. He is making $26 million in the first season of a two-year, $50 million deal.

The 34-year-old is enjoying his tenure with the Spurs but is tempted by a return to the Pacific Northwest and a reunion with star guard Damian Lillard.
