MRI reveals LaMarcus Aldridge's knee is 'fine,' and he should play Tuesday

Above all others, one question needed to be answered after the Trail Blazers practiced on Monday:

How’s LaMarcus Aldridge’s left knee?

OK, apparently. The Blazers’ leading scorer had an MRI taken on the knee Monday morning.

“It came back fine,” Aldridge said.

Aldridge said the knee was still sore, but he expects to play Tuesday when the Blazers return to action against the Houston Rockets at the Rose Garden.
