Aldridge averaged 19.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game through 1076 career games.

After five-plus seasons in San Antonio, he signed with the Nets in March 2021. Even late in his career Aldridge showed he could help a team win (see his early play with the Nets last season).

His greatest moments came in the 2014 playoffs at Houston, when he led Portland to its first playoff series win in 14 years.
