Aldridge Out Until Tests Can Determine Dizziness

LaMarcus Aldridge is out indefinitely until a battery of tests can determine what caused his dizziness during Saturday's game against the Clippers.
After playing seven minutes against the Clippers, Aldridge left the game complaining of feeling dizzy. Doctors discovered a high heart rate, after which Aldridge was taking to a Portland emergency room. The orginial diagnosis was dehydration.
But after Aldridge wore a heart monitor on Monday, the test were ruled to be "inconclusive", and two doctors had differing opinions on Aldridge's condition. The team would not disclose what those conclusions were.
Aldridge will receive a series of tests Wednesday in Portland, then will be flown to Los Angeles for more tests later in the week. General manager Kevin Pritchard said the tests will expand beyond heart-related matters.
"I don't want to get everybody inflated and going crazy over this,'' Pritchard said. "It's just that we have doctors who differ in what this can be, and when that happens you want to make sure we get it right.''
Pritchard reported that Aldridge feels fine and wants to play against the Jazz.
Arenas' sprained left knee rendered nearly everything else irrelevant in the Charlotte Bobcats'108-100 victory over the Wizards on Wednesday night. The three-timeAll-Star will have an MRI on Thursday to determine the full extent ofthe damage, but the recovery time from such injuries is usuallymeasured in weeks, not days, and the Wizards have only eight games leftin the regular season.
