The Spurs already entered the Rodeo Road Trip short-handed, with starting guard Derrick White staying in San Antonio after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right foot and not expected to return before the All-Star break. Now, it is being reported that LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan will sit out Wednesday’s tilt against the defending-champion Golden State Warriors for “load management” (a.k.a. rest).

This isn’t too surprising considering the Spurs have a SEGABABA the next night against the Portland Trail Blazers, and DeRozan and Aldridge have been playing a ton of minutes this season.
