Aldridge scored 1,735 points in his career at LaBrae High School, a school record.[1] He was also a highly rated quarterback prospect in high school, though basketball remained his favorite sport. Davidson coach Bob McKillop offered him a scholarship after he broke his jaw in a tournament and played the next game anyway. Despite getting looks from the likes of Nick Saban, Aldridge opted not to play football as a senior to focus on basketball.[2]

Aldridge scored his 2,000th point in a Davidson uniform in a win against Fordham on February 21, 2018.[5] Aldridge scored 45 points in a triple overtime loss to St. Bonaventure on February 28, and was named CBS Sports player of the week.[6] As a senior, Aldridge averaged 21.3 points per game, leading Davidson to a third-place finish in the Atlantic 10. He was named conference co-Player of the Year with Jaylen Adams.[7]
Professional career
After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, Aldridge was later included in the 2018 NBA Summer League roster of the Utah Jazz.[8] On July 22, 2018, Aldridge went to Italy and signed with Vanoli Cremona[9] where he averaged 11.5 points in 29 games.[10] The Memphis Grizzlies added Aldridge to their 2019 summer league roster.[11]
