MRI on hip clean for Blazers F Aldridge (AP)

Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge has had an MRI on his right hip that shows no damage. Aldridge, the NBA’s reigning Western Conference Player of the week, had the MRI on Tuesday, a day after Portland’s 96-81 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Aldridge has a hip contusion and is probable for Thursday night’s game against the Boston Celtics.
