One more All Star is out of the Rio Olympics. According to an ESPN report, San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge has removed himself from Olympic consideration due to a recent hand injury, just hours after Golden State Warriors back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry announced his withdrawal from the Games.
All-Stars Chris Paul, Anthony Davis and Blake Griffin also won’t suit up in the red, white and blue this summer due to injuries. Aldridge was named to USA Basketball’s 31-player finalists list for the Olympic team in January.
The five-time All-Star averaged 18 points and 8.5 rebounds per game this season for the Spurs.
