Trail Blazers' Al-Farouq Aminu: Doubtful Saturday with back contusion

Aminu has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pacers with a back contusion, Casey Holdahl of Blazers.com reports.

Aminu just returned from a 13-game absence due to a calf injury and now is suffer back spasms, leading to another likely absence from the small forward. Aminu was already limited in his return, so this setback will likely mean it's even longer before the forward is back to playing a full minutes load. Ed Davis will continue to start at power forward as Portland sticks with their bigger lineup.
