Nets coach Steve Nash said Saturday that Aldridge (hip) is lined up to return to game action next week, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Aldridge has missed each of Brooklyn's last eight contests, and he won't play in either game during the team's back-to-back set this weekend. However, indications are that he's improving and on track to return within the next week. He could realistically take the court as soon as Tuesday against Detroit.
