Portland Trail Blazers Forward LaMarcus Aldridge is joining the list of players out for the season.

On Monday, the team said he underwent a series of tests and diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, an electric abnormality in the heart.

Doctors said Aldridge was successfully treated.

The Blazers said Aldridge is expected to make a full recovery and be cleared to play including basketball by summer.

Aldridge left Portland’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 31 complaining of dizziness.

Earlier last month, Zach Randolph was taken off the roster after a surgery to repair bone fragments in his wrist.
