Aldridge posted 24 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and a block in Wednesday's 109-99 victory over the Cavs.
Aldridge saw a bump in minutes with Paul Millsap (personal) and Nicolas Claxton (non-COVID illness) both sidelined and performed exceptionally well, finishing the outing with only his second 20-plus point game in the month of November. The low-post threat hasn't really expanded his range like many assumed would occur entering his second stint with the Nets, but that could be a byproduct of a more concentrated minutes restriction to begin the season.
