Aldridge agrees to three-year, $72M pact with San Antonio

The San Antonio Spurs reached an agreement with Lamarcus Aldridge on an extension that will keep the five-time All-star forward under contract for an additional three years.

Aldridge, 32, will exercise the $22 million player option on his contract for the 2018-19 season. He also will get another two years and $50 million tacked on.

He averaged 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season.

■ Hawks: Guard Dennis Schroder, Atlanta’s top returning scorer, is facing undisclosed discipline for his role in an incident that led to his arrest outside a late-night restaurant last month on misdemeanor battery charges, the team said.

■ Liberty: Katie Smith, 43, an assistant with New York since retiring from the WNBA as a player in 2013, is replacing Bill Laimbeer as head coach. She is the league’s fifth-leading scorer and a two-time champion.

■ Jazz: Guard Dante Exum will have surgery next week to repair a separated left shoulder, and his return has no timeline, the team said.

■ Grizzlies: Guard Wade Baldwin IV, drafted with the No. 17 pick in 2016 out of Vanderbilt, was waived. He played in 33 games as a rookie.

■ Cavaliers: Coach Tyronn Lue said he still is unsure if forward Lebron James (left ankle sprain) will play Tuesday against Boston.
