Rookie LaMarcus Aldridge's minutes have plummeted recently, and he received his first DNP-CD -- did not play, coach's decision -- Friday. Aldridge started seven games when Przybilla was injured, but he has been the odd man out after Przybilla and other injured players returned, playing a total of 11 minutes the last four games.

McMillan, however, said there has been no discussion about sending Aldridge to Anaheim for a stint with the Blazers' NBA Development League affiliate, as the Blazers did with Martell Webster last season.

"I think it will benefit him more playing and practicing here," McMillan said. "Martell was an 18-year-old kid coming into the pros, not having any college experience. LaMarcus has played in some big games in college."
