It's not blood clots which is way more serious. He could be out for 10 games or the rest of the season, playoffs, etc. Obviously not a good thing though.

[jeebus]

Spurs going nowhere this year without their Alpha. But after the Spurts trade him for Anthony Davis and LMA retires, they'll be reloaded.

[Chillen]

Is Scola still available???

Yes if LeBron hasn't signed him yet, lol. Pop and RC should give him a 10 day contract and rest of the season if he plays well.

[SPURt]

If it's too close to the AV node they aren't gonna want to do that. There is a cryo freezing process that is similar as far as invasiveness that would get him back out there. Recovery time depends on which arteries they go through to get to the heart.

[SpursIndonesia]

Is Scola still available???

I hope that's a joke because we have young talents at that particular position that i have confidence on, and the Scola ship has sailed long time ago for this team.

Crass joke son..

But I'll give it to Aldridge; he has historically played through injuries..he is resilient mofo when it comes to dealing with bodily ailments..dude came back after 20 days the last time this issue occurred to him..

[SAGirl]

Wow how quickly seasons can turn. Health was most important...

[SPURt]

Anyone has Tim Duncan's number if this isn't easily fixed? It's weird that WPW takes a ton of procedures without it getting fixed. Typically they prescribe beta blockers if they can't get rid of the extra pathway. Kind of explains a lot.

We should be happy with the 2 seed and hope LMA's heart and Kawhi's head are back for the post season. Nothing to mess with in either case.

In December 2011, just before the start of training camp in that lockout-shortened season, Aldridge suffered a recurrence of the same symptoms. He underwent another ablation procedure and was on the floor for a Blazers’ preseason game against Utah 10 days later.

Would be great news if it is the same procedure :tu..

----------------------------------------------

It sounds like that's what he's been doing, what basically happens with WPW is when someone experiences excitement or stress there is a birth defect that allows for the electricity to jump into an extra electrical pathway. In most cases it causes no symptoms, in a small portion of the population it causes the heart rate to rest at 200 bpm or worse cause cardiac arrest. We're talking 1% of the population that has it.

The procedure was typically fixed by passing electricity into the pathway till it burns out, but if it was too close to the AV node it could disable the AV node causing it to be necessary for a pacemaker. If a dr decides disabling the AV node is evident and the patient is too young for a pacemaker they often try to get them on medication that keeps them from getting excited. There is a cryo procedure that was approved around 2008 and should be well used now that could help.

what I want to know is if the pathway was too close and he's been on meds or if he was declared asymptomatic. Some of the posters said he's had a procedure, which means it failed or was successful and the pathway grew back, which is also possible with WPW

[baseline bum]

Damn I hope everything's alright with LMA. Obviously the season shouldn't be a concern when we're talking about the man's heart.

[sasaint]

Re LMA: I hope his short-term and long-term prognoses are positive.

Re Spurs: I hope the other bigs - especially Kyle and Bertans can really pick up the slack. And I hope that LMA is able to return and contribute this season.

Re Spurs fans: Keep the faith! With a healthy Kawhi and other guys playing up to form, Spurs are still contenders. We will mostly miss LMA's D and rim protection. Perhaps Deadman...? We will likely learn a lot about Kyle and Bertans.

Random thought: I do not recall hearing anything about LMA's heart issues when the Spurs were pursuing him in free agency.

[spurs10]

Really bad news. I wonder how long this has been brewing with them knowing of his past issues. I guess new test revealed a step back. Out 'indefinitely' doesn't sound encouraging.

[phxspurfan]

GWS LMA. Ssomebody go stop by the shop, bring back Duncan

1-The most important thing...Get well soon, LMA

He's a family guy, a father, a good son, his family needs him. Hopefully he'll be fine for them.

2-Arrhythmia is a whole different issue than Bosh's and others. Remember Oberto? This last LMA's heart condition sounds more like that Fab's issue. Sadly, Oberto last heart-episode was in Portland and couldnt play anymore.

3-It's sad but LMA's sign is finally exploding in Pop/RC/our faces this season with his poor performances and this heart problem.

Two years ago it seemed the perfect scenario, the Spurs got the best free agent in the market, a big who can fill Tim's shoes after his retirement...Again, it's sad, things didn't go the way the Spurs planned.

And we're fucked now.

I love optimistic people but this is not realistic.

LMA wasn't having a good, great season but he was the 2nd Spurs scorer, plus he's a guy who can score easily 18-20 ppg in a playoffs series. The Spurs don't have other player who can replace him.

The Spurs aren't contenders anymore.

Hope he gets better soon. As stated he had the same issue twice before with the Blazers. It's concerning to me that it has cropped up again. That said it makes the playoffs wide open this year with all of the injuries on elite teams.

That was a post that was uncharacteristically optimistic, tbh. :lol I did not say the Spurs would win the LOB. What I did say, but didn't flesh out was that the Spurs would be contenders with a healthy Kawhi and the rest of the roster playing up to their potential. Patty and Danny have to regain their shooting touch, Simmons must play closer to his season-opening performance against the Dubs, and the role players have to step up - especially Kyle and Bertans. If all of those things happen, the Spurs are competitive - even contenders.

Damn, what a blow..quite the 180 from last year, tbh, when 90% of the forum was willing to eat his ass and ridiculing me for my Aldridge thread:lol

Still, though, Spurs won't be anywhere near contending if he's out..he's been an All-NBA caliber defender, this year, and he's the only guy outside of Kawhi that could consistently cause mismatches when he was engaged..

Pau can negate some of his offense, but the 2-way dropoff will be substantial..combining Pau and Dedmon essentially gives you Aldridge..

Spurs can still get the #1 seed without him, and they could beat Denver or Memphis in a 1st round matchup without him, as well..any other matchup will be a loss, though, and forget about contending, of course..

Nice...good insight.

I'm also a little older than LMA and of course, nowhere near the athlete he is so if he's out longer, it would be because LMA and staff were very negligent in monitoring the situation to the point that it worsened...which I doubt. Or they're willfully going to be extremely cautious in bringing him back, longer than necessary because the organization is just that classy. Whatever it is, there's still a good chance he comes back soon.

[Capt Bringdown]

Signing LMA was an admirable and worthwhile risk to make the team better, but I don't think he's performed up to expectations. Perhaps due to lingering health issues, who knows?
I wish him well, but as a fan I feel like the Spurs ran into some bad luck with him.

Not sure why there is a need for another PF, granted there really isn't a need for Anthony at the moment.

Bertans should be able to step up and play 20mpg, Anderson is better suited as a 4 anyway. Lee will probably have to play 26-28 mpg for at least the next couple of weeks (about 7 games, most of them are pretty winnable assuming Leonard doesn't miss any more games past the Atl game)

I don't know jackshit about any of the medical terminology being used in LMA's condition but I hope he gets well soon. If he's not back before the playoffs, we're looking at a second round exit.

He'll be fine tbh. Back before seasons end just watch

[tbdog]

A Blazer fan on Reddit said that LMA missed only about 2 weeks back in Portland days for the same thing. So fingers cross that is correct.

[timtonymanu]

Get well soon, LMA. As underwhelming as he is at times, he's still the 2nd most talented player on the team. I hope it won't be too long.

[G-Dawgg]

So many of you haters wanted him gone anyways. Boom. Now you got what you asked for. See how far the Spurs go without him now....

I'm pretty sure people wanted his contract gone, not him injured with no replacements.

I want him to stay btw and him get a speedy recovery

[cd021]

On the broadcast, they mentioned he will be reevaluated on Monday, doesn't mean that he'll be back for the Atlanta game but hopefully it won't be two weeks.

I think we are being extremely precautionary and trying to get in front of this early. If his EKG comes back clean he will probably be back sooner rather than later, if not, we are probably looking at 2 weeks minimum.

[Jdspur20]

Wasn't he out for two weeks last time he under went the same treatment when he was in Portland?

[Joseph Kony]

He missed 20 days or something iirc, the first game back he played 42 mins, i think he'll be fine and coaching staff is being overly cautious, we all know how Pop is

[marinoman]

The problem is we're going to say "I think" or "probably" until he returns since management won't tell us shit

[BillMc]

The outlook for power forward LaMarcus Aldridge (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2983/lamarcus-aldridge), however, remains uncertain after he underwent a battery of medical tests Monday, after experiencing an episode of minor heart arrhythmia over the weekend.
"We're just gonna wait until he comes back and assess everything," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said regarding Aldridge. "I think he'll be back either tomorrow morning or tonight -- I don't know which."

Both theories are stupid. Us humans have very little knowledge and significance in the grand scheme of things. But you can say this for most/all other organisms and beings in all of space and time. Some might have more influence than others, but does it really matter? You're talking one species having control of 1/infinity versus another with 7/infinity versus another with 23/infinity. No matter how many solar systems or galaxies your species controls, it's insignificant.

I'm an atheist and celebrate Christmas because it's an excuse to be happy and give presents and make my mom/wife feed me turkey and have a pretty tree and eat candy and drink egg nog. As for Easter, it's an excuse to have a little seasonal fun, hide easter eggs and eat more candy.
