In 2015, all-star NBA power forward LaMarcus Aldridge signed with which Southwest Division team?

In 2015, All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge signed with the San Antonio Spurs. He joined San Antonio as a free agent after spending the first nine seasons of his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Aldridge agreed to a four-year contract with the Spurs in July 2015, giving San Antonio another elite interior scorer and rebounder alongside longtime star Tim Duncan. The move paired Aldridge’s polished mid-range game with the Spurs’ structured offense under head coach Gregg Popovich. He wore number 12 and became a central part of the team’s post-Duncan transition.

San Antonio reached the playoffs in each of Aldridge’s first five seasons with the franchise. During the 2015–16 season, the Spurs won 67 games, set a franchise record, and captured the Southwest Division. Aldridge later played for the Brooklyn Nets and returned briefly to the Spurs before retiring. The wording can cause confusion because he signed during the 2015 offseason but made his Spurs debut in the 2015–16 season.
