Portland Trail Blazer big man LaMarcus Aldridge will undergo surgery on his left thumb after he injured it in Thursday’s game against the Phoenix Suns. The team lost that game 118-113 and it looks like they’ve lost Aldridge for almost two months now.

Before the injury, Aldridge was averaging 23.2 points, 10.2 boards, and 1.2 blocks per game on 46% shooting from the floor. It looks like Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, and Nicolas Batum are going to have to up their productivity if the Blazers don’t want their wins to drop off.
