Santi Aldama Injury News & Updates

Aldama closed Sunday's 119-96 victory over the Trail Blazers with 22 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes.

Aldama led the entire team in scoring off the bench and bounced back from a three-game string of disappointing appearances where he averaged just 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists. Aldama has shown he can be great when he sees high volume, as in games of at least 28 minutes played he averages 17.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.1 threes.

Aldama ended with four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 loss to the Spurs.

It was a pedestrian effort by Aldama, whose path to a more prominent role is blocked by the frontcourt presences of both Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey. Aldama has averaged 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest in 22 games this season, so he still is doing enough to remain worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Aldama won't start Monday's game against the Nuggets.

With Jaren Jackson returning from a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Aldama will slide to the second unit. In his last five appearances off the bench, the 24-year-old forward averaged 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

Aldama tallied 29 points (11-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during the Grizzlies' 137-96 win over the Kings on Thursday.

Aldama made the most of his opportunity Thursday, when he made his first start of the regular season due to Jaren Jackson (ankle) being sidelined. Aldama reached the 20-point threshold for the first time this season while finishing with a game-high plus-28 point differential, and his five three-pointers were also a season high. The fifth-year pro would remain in the Grizzlies' starting lineup Saturday against the Kings if Jackson is not cleared to return.

Aldama is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Kings on Thursday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Aldama will make his first start of the 2025-26 regular season Thursday due to the absence of Jaren Jackson (ankle). Across nine games since Nov. 2, Aldama has averaged 13.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals over 26.7 minutes per game. He should see an expanded role on offense, as the Grizzlies will be without their top stars in Jackson and Ja Morant (calf).

Aldama totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 108-100 loss to the Cavaliers.

Aldama recorded his second double-double of the season, tallying double-digit points for the eighth consecutive game. As has been the case for the past couple of years, Aldama simply continues to find a way to put up fantasy value. Zach Edey made his return to the lineup; however, Ja Morant left the game early with a calf complaint. If Morant misses further time, Aldama should be able to maintain standard league value, at least for the time being.

Aldama logged 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to the Thunder.

Aldama was a late call for Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury, and not only was he upgraded to available before tip-off, but he posted another solid showing off the bench. This was his fifth straight game with double-digit points, a span where he's averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks per game.

Aldama (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Aldama will shed his questionable tag due to left shoulder soreness and suit up Sunday. Over his last five outings, the 24-year-old has averaged 13.0 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 39.0 percent from the field in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Aldama is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to shoulder soreness.

Aldama has been a productive player for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals across 25.0 minutes per game in 10 appearances. If he doesn't suit up Sunday, look for the Grizzlies to turn to Vince Williams, John Konchar or even Charles Bassey for extra minutes in the frontcourt.

Aldama ended with 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Rockets.

Aldama set a new season-high scoring mark, and the Spaniard continues to make a sizable impact off the bench. Aldama has hit double-digit scoring figures in all but one of his last six outings, and he should continue to find ways to produce as long as his minutes stay in the upper 20s. He's averaging 12.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game over his last six appearances.

Aldama totaled 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 loss to the Raptors.

The big man took on a significant role off the bench in the absence of Ja Morant (suspension), putting up a season-high 15 points. Aldama's upside took a big hit this preseason, when Jaren Jackson was cleared to return from toe surgery, and his production has been rather spotty as a result. Aldama has still averaged 11.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.7 minutes per contest in seven games this season, so he remains worth holding in most leagues.

Aldama amassed 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 win over the Suns.

Aldama spent some time on the injury report this week but has yet to miss a game. The fifth-year pro hasn't been able to grab a firm hold of a starting role during his tenure with the Grizzlies, but he has come through again and again when needed to fill gaps due to injury. Right now, Aldama can use his versatility to fill in at a few different positions, but one of those portals will close when Zach Edey (ankle) returns later this year.

Aldama (shoulder) is is available for Wednesday's game against Phoenix.

Aldama had been listed as questionable due to left shoulder soreness leading up to the contest, but he's been cleared to face the Suns. The 24-year-old big man has averaged 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 21.8 minutes per game this season.

Aldama (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Aldama is dealing with a shoulder injury, which could keep him sidelined. He's had a decent start to the season thus far, averaging 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Aldama posted 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 131-118 loss to the Warriors.

The fifth-year big set new season highs in points, assists, steals and threes with the performance, although the season is only four games old. Aldama curiously isn't seeing a significantly increased role in the frontcourt despite the absences of Zach Edey (ankle), Brandon Clarke (knee) and Vince Williams (heel), and without more than the 21.8 minutes a game he's been averaging, it'll be hard for him to take a big step forward with his production. Through those four games, he's delivered 10.3 points, 7.0 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 threes.

Aldama (knee) is available for Saturday's game against Indiana.

Aldama will shed his questionable tag due to right knee soreness and suit up Saturday. The 24-year-old has appeared in both of Memphis' games thus far, averaging 9.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 22.0 minutes per contest.

Aldama (knee) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Aldama is in danger of missing his first game of the 2025-26 campaign while nursing a knee issue. He's coming off a decent all-around performance against the Pelicans, posting five points, six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 24 minutes. If he can't play Saturday, the team will likely pivot to Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Aldama posted five points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 win over New Orleans.

Aldama ended up coming off the bench to start the regular season, backing up Jock Landale as the team's primary big men with Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee) out. Aldama led all bench players in minutes played just one less minute than Landale, indicating that Aldama will still be an important piece in the rotation.

Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Aldama started the first three preseason games for the Grizzlies but will move to the bench with Jaren Jackson (toe) returning to action. Jock Landale will start alongside Jackson in the frontcourt, though Aldama could still push for a starting role once the regular season begins.

Aldama finished with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Aldama filled up the stat sheet in limited minutes. He recorded a double-double while also shooting 50 percent from the floor and from beyond the arc.

Aldama closed with 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to Boston.

Aldama continues to slowly climb up draft boards, thanks largely to the fact that Memphis is already dealing with injuries to multiple key players. Having proven he can be an adequate fill-in when required, the expectation is that he will be in the starting lineup, at least to begin the season. Although his upside is relatively limited, he should see enough court time to warrant a roster spot in most standard fantasy leagues.

Aldama agreed to a three-year, $52.5 million contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Aldama was slated to hit the open market as a restricted free agent, but the Grizzlies wasted no time locking in the standout forward for multiple seasons. The 24-year-old appeared in 65 regular-season games in 2024-25, averaging 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 48/37/69 shooting splits across 25.5 minutes. With Jaylen Wells and Jaren Jackson expected to start at the forward positions, Aldama should be one of the first players off the bench in 2025-26.

The Grizzlies tendered Aldama's one-year $5.94 million qualifying offer Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Aldama will be a restricted free agent with the qualifying offer being extended. He is coming off the best year of his career, in which he averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 25.5 minutes per game across 65 appearances, including 16 starts.

Aldama (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

As expected, Aldama has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss the regular-season finale, marking his first absence since March 17. Almost all of Memphis' regulars will be sidelined Sunday, but they are expected to be fine for the Play-In Tournament.

Aldama (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Aldama is working through left ankle soreness and will likely be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. Lamar Stevens and GG Jackson would be in line to see increased work off the bench if Aldama is ruled out.

Aldama supplied 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 124-100 victory over the Hornets.

Aldama led the second unit in scoring Tuesday, recording his third outing with double-digit points over his last five. During that five-game span, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 13.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 28.8 minutes per game. Additionally, Aldama posted multiple steals for the 13th time this season.

Aldama provided 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 117-103 loss to the Celtics.

Aldama reached the 20-point mark for the 10th time this season, and what's even more impressive is the fact that nine of those outings have come when he plays off the bench. He's been an effective second-unit member throughout the season and is averaging a solid line of 13.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and a combined 1.3 steals-plus-blocks per game when coming off the bench this season (43 appearances).

Aldama is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Lakers on Saturday.

Aldama started in the Grizzlies' last three games and averaged 11.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists over 27.0 minutes per game over that span. He'll go back to a reserve role Saturday while Zach Edey enters the starting five.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The Grizzlies will tweak their lineup for this matchup and will slot Aldama at power forward in order to match him up with Kawhi Leonard. Aldama has been productive in a starting role this season, averaging 12.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and a combined 1.3 steals-plus-blocks per game in his previous 13 starts.

Aldama (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Aldama was initially listed as questionable due to a calf injury, but the Spanish forward has been upgraded to available, meaning he'll return from a six-game absence. He's been limited to just two appearances since the beginning of March, and he's likely to see minutes off the bench in this one.

Aldama (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Aldama is in jeopardy of missing his seventh consecutive contest due to a right calf strain. The 24-year-old's questionable tag is a step in the right direction, as he was listed as doubtful before having been ruled out for Monday's loss to the Kings. Aldama has missed eight of the club's last nine outings, and he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction whenever he returns.

Aldama (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Kings.

Monday will mark a sixth consecutive absence with a calf strain for Aldama, who carries no definitive timetable for a return ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Portland. With Aldama sidelined against Sacramento, Brandon Clarke and Lamar Stevens should witness a rise in frontcourt minutes from the second unit.

Aldama (calf) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Kings.

Aldama is likely to miss a sixth straight game due to a right calf strain. GG Jackson and Vince Williams are likely to maintain sizable roles if Aldama is unable to suit up.

Aldama (calf) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Heat.

Aldama's absence streak will extend to five games Saturday due to a right calf strain. Aldama's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Sacramento.

Aldama (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Aldama has been battling through a right calf strain, and Friday's absence will his sixth absence in seven games. His next chance to play is Saturday against the Heat, but a clear timeline for his return has not been established. GG Jackson, Vince Williams and Brandon Clarke should continue to see more minutes off the bench due to Aldama's absence.

Aldama (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Jazz.

Aldama will miss his fifth me out of his last six due to a right calf strain, and he doesn't have a timetable for his return. His next chance to play will be against the Cavaliers on Friday. Brandon Clarke (knee) is questionable, so GG Jackson may be asked to soak up extended minutes Monday.

Aldama (calf) will not play Monday against the Suns.

Aldama will miss his fourth game out of his last five due to a right calf strain. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Jazz. Brandon Clarke (knee) is questionable, so GG Jackson may be asked to soak up extended minutes Monday.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Aldama returns from a two-game absence and will automatically return to the first unit, sending Vince Williams to a bench role. Aldama is averaging 12.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game when deployed in a starting role this season (12 games).

Aldama (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Aldama will snap a two-game absence streak due to right calf soreness Friday. The 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.2 minutes per contest in six outings (one start) since the All-Star break.

Aldama (calf) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Aldama has missed the last two games for the Grizzlies while nursing a sore right calf. If he can't play Friday, Memphis will likely turn to Brandon Clarke and GG Jackson, who are likely to see more minutes on the floor in Dallas.

Aldama (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Aldama will miss a second consecutive game with a sore right calf, meaning the Grizzlies will be particularly thin in their frontcourt. Aldama's next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Friday.

Aldama (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.

Aldama is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a sore right calf. However, with Jaren Jackson dealing with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, Aldama could receive an increased role if he's upgraded to available.

Aldama (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Aldama will miss his first outing since Jan. 25 due to a right calf injury, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Thunder. The 24-year-old forward has averaged 12.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 26.5 minutes per game in his last 10 outings (one start). Brandon Clarke and GG Jackson could see a bump in minutes due to Aldama being sidelined.

Head coach Taylor Jenkins said Aldama (calf) is unlikely to play against the Hawks on Monday, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Aldama was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game due to right calf soreness, but the injury appears severe enough for him to be sidelined. Brandon Clarke and GG Jackson would stand to see an increase in playing time off the bench should Aldama be ruled out.

Aldama is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks due to right calf soreness.

This is a new issue for Aldama, and it comes on the heels of one of his best performance of the season -- he had 15 points (7-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 130-128 loss to the Spurs. If Aldama is unable to play Monday, the Grizzlies could turn to Brandon Clarke to soak up some additional minutes.

Aldama closed with 15 points (7-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 130-128 loss to the Spurs.

Aldama moved into the starting lineup over Zach Edey, and the Spaniard thrived in the frontcourt alongside Jaren Jackson, finishing just two rebounds away from a triple-double. Aldama has found ways to make an impact regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. He's scored in double digits in seven of his last nine contests, averaging 13.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per contest.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

The Grizzlies are tweaking their frontcourt for this matchup and Aldama will get the nod at power forward, meaning Jaren Jackson will start at center and Zach Edey will run with the second unit. Aldama is averaging 12.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a combined 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in his previous 11 starts.

Aldama recorded 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 151-148 overtime win over the Suns.

Aldama continues to be a gem for Memphis, and he actually leads the team in nine-category fantasy value over his last 10 games. In that span, Aldama has produced 13.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers on 48.5 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the line in just 25.3 minutes per contest.

Aldama recorded 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 129-123 loss to Cleveland.

Despite coming off the bench, Aldama continues to play a significant role for the Grizzlies. The 24-year-old big man has averaged 13.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes over his last six games, shooting 44.1 percent from deep during this stretch. Although Zach Edey continues to start at center, that hasn't prevented Aldama from hovering around the top 100 from a fantasy perspective.

Aldama logged 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-114 loss to the Clippers.

Aldama outdid Jaren Jackson in the loss, a trend that was inching closer to reality throughout the month. His increase represents a negative fantasy outlook for both players. Aldama's usage spike will harm Jackson's value, but his totals still won't be enough to warrant nightly consideration as a fantasy target.

Aldama posted 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 win over the Suns.

Aldama's production can be pretty volatile, but he's doing enough to warrant a hold in deeper formats. Over his last 10 outings, Aldama has been just outside the top-150 in nine-category formats with 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes per game.

Aldama supplied 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 victory over the Bucks.

Aldama provided a spark off Memphis' bench with 23 points, even closing Sunday's game over Zach Edey in the fourth quarter. Aldama was close to a full-time starter for the Grizzlies to open the season, but his minutes have been sporadic with the frontcourt healthier now. That said, the 24-year-old has averaged 16.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes over his past three games, so he remains a key contributor from the second unit.

Aldama (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks.

An illness kept Aldama off the floor for Memphis' past two games, but the big man is good to go Monday. With the Grizzlies' frontcourt mostly healthy, Aldama will fight for reserve minutes against New York.

Aldama (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Aldama has missed the Grizzlies' last two games due to an illness, but he could make his return Monday. In the seven games prior to his absence, he averaged 11.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 21.1 minutes per game.

Aldama (illness) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Jazz.

Aldama will miss his second straight contest Saturday due to an illness. GG Jackson and John Konchar will likely continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Aldama's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Knicks.

Aldama (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, head coach Taylor Jenkins told Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Aldama exited Wednesday's win over Charlotte early due to this illness, and while he's not likely to miss considerable time, he won't be ready to face New Orleans. This means his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against Utah in the second leg of a back-to-back set, although it wouldn't be surprising if he misses that game as well.

Aldama (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Aldama exited Wednesday's win over Charlotte early due to the illness, during which he amassed two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 19 minutes. If the 24-year-old is sidelined Friday, Brandon Clarke and Luke Kennard could see extended run with the second unit.

Aldama has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to illness.

Aldama finishes the contest with two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 19 minutes off the bench. Although there are only a few minutes remaining in the game, GG Jackson and Brandon Clarke could see more action. Aldama's next chance to play will come Friday against the Pelicans -- the first end of a back-to-back.

Aldama posted two points (1-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over the Timberwolves.

Aldama was coming off an impressive two-game stretch with averages of 24.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists, but he couldn't generate much offensively Monday. His production has been sporadic for most of the season, and it's tough for him to provide consistent value with the Grizzlies having such a deep rotation.

Aldama finished Friday's 140-112 victory over the Spurs with 29 points (10-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes.

The Grizzlies destroyed the Spurs to the tune of a 28-point victory and Aldama played a prominent role in the win. He logged 30 minutes despite not starting, as he was part of the main lineup once Zach Edey (nose) departed the contest. The Spaniard has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games while scoring in double digits in four of his last five outings. His bench role limits his upside a bit, but he's a reliable performer in deep formats due to the ability he has to rack up stats with ease.

Aldama contributed 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-115 win over the Spurs.

Aldama got back in the swing of things, recording his first double-double in almost a month. After a red-hot start to the season, Aldama's role has reduced over the past few weeks. With that said, he remains a key piece of their second unit and can slide seamlessly into the starting five, should the opportunity arise. Over the past moth, Aldama has averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.5 minutes per game.

Aldama (ankle) recorded 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes in Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Rockets.

Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 26 after missing six straight games with a sprained left ankle, Aldama saw the second-most minutes of any Grizzlies bench player and produced some useful counting statistics in his return. The poor shooting from the field and free-throw line limited the overall impact of his performance in category leagues, however. The Grizzlies are now at close to full strength in the frontcourt, but if Aldama can continue to hold down a 20-to-25-minute bench role, he could maintain some appeal as a low-end option in 12-team leagues.

Aldama (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Aldama will suit up and snap a six-game absence streak due to a sprained left ankle. The 23-year-old sustained the injury Dec. 26 after playing only three minutes during the blowout win over Toronto, and in the five outings prior to sustaining the ankle sprain, he had averaged 13.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks across 244 minutes per contest.

Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

An ankle sprain could cause Aldama to miss his seventh straight game Thursday, but the big man will have a chance to suit up in any event. If Aldama cannot go for the Grizzlies, names like Brandon Clarke, Jake LaRavia and Jay Huff figure to continue picking up the slack in the frontcourt against Houston.

Aldama (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Aldama sprained his left ankle in late December and is considered week-to-week with the injury. Monday will be his sixth game missed due to the injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Rockets.

The Grizzlies announced Saturday that Aldama has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week.

Aldama suffered his ankle injury against the Raptors on Thursday and is set to miss at least another week of action. In Aldama's absence, Jake LaRavia, Brandon Clarke and Jaylen Wells are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Aldama (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

Aldama will miss Friday's contest after leaving Memphis' previous outing against Toronto early due to a left ankle sprain. Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Aldama's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Thunder.

Aldama (ankle) is doubtful to return during Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Aldama was helped back to the locker room during the first quarter of Thursday's contest, and he was unable to put much weight on his left ankle. The 23-year-old will likely undergo further testing, though he'll end with four points (2-3 FG) and three rebounds across three minutes if he's deemed unable to return. If Aldama is sidelned, Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Aldama was helped back to the locker room during the first quarter of Thursday's game against against the Raptors with an apparent left ankle injury, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Aldama was unable to put much weight on his left ankle after going down in the opening quarter, during which he contributed four points (2-3 FG) and three rebounds across three minutes. If the 23-year-old is unable to come back, Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard will likely see increased roles the rest of the way.

Aldama finished Thursday's 144-93 victory over Golden State with a team-high 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench.

It's the eighth double-double of the season for Aldama, and the fourth-year big led the Grizzlies in both scoring and rebounding on the night while tying his season high in made three-pointers. He's been impressive over the last month since moving back to the bench, and across the last 14 games he's averaging 15.1 points, 8.1 boards, 2.6 assists, 2.4 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 57.0 percent from the floor and a stunning 55.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Aldama totaled 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 victory over the Wizards.

Aldama lost his spot in the starting lineup upon Desmond Bane's return to action, but he continues to make a case for more playing time with excellent second-unit totals. He inflicted his multi-category damage in only 20 minutes, and we've already seen Aldama's upside while logging more time with the first unit. His recent performances warrant fantasy consideration in deeper formats despite his spot in the rotation.

Aldama supplied 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes during Thursday's 115-110 win over Sacramento.

Even though Aldama has returned to a bench role as the Grizzlies have been getting healthier, he continues to find ways to remain relevant in most fantasy formats. This was his fourth double-double across his last nine bench appearances, a span in which he's averaging 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 26.6 minutes per contest.

Aldama closed with 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 win over the Pacers.

Aldama continues to shine for Memphis, and it will be interesting to see what the frontcourt rotation looks like when Zach Edey (ankle) returns, possibly as soon as Tuesday. Over his last seven games, Aldama has produced impressive averages of 15.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.1 three-pointers.

Aldama finished Monday's 123-98 win over the Trail Blazers with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 17 rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes.

Aldama delivered his sixth double-double in 18 regular-season appearances, and he has totaled three over his last four outings. The 23-year-old dominated on the glass while supplying a game-high 17 rebounds, he was the only player to reach the double-digit mark. In five outings since retreating to the bench, Aldama has averaged 13.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 25.2 minutes per game.

Aldama finished Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.

Aldama moved back to the bench with the return of Desmond Bane to the starting lineup, but that hasn't prevented the Spaniard from putting up solid numbers every time he's on the hardwood. Even though the move back to the second unit will limit his upside considerably, Aldama continues to contribute enough to remain valuable in most formats. He's averaging 12.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game while starting in seven of his 10 appearances since the beginning of November.

Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

With Desmond Bane (oblique) having made his return to game action in Friday's loss to Golden State, he will now replace Aldama in the starting five. The 23-year-old forward has carved out a significant role with the Grizzlies, and he has averaged 12.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 29.0 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings (11 starts).

Aldama registered 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers.

Aldama is making the most of Desmond Bane's absence due to an oblique injury, and he continues to deliver excellent two-way numbers every time he steps on the court. Aldama has scored in double digits while grabbing at least five rebounds in five games in a row, and he's averaging 12.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in six November appearances.

Aldama notched 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over the Wizards.

Aldama is benefiting from the absence of Desmond Bane (oblique) to handle a bigger role on offense, and he's making the most of the opportunity, similar to what he did in 2023-24. Aldama has started in each of Memphis' last five games, a span in which he's averaging 12.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals per contest.

Aldama amassed 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 victory over the Lakers.

Aldama got another start with Desmond Bane (oblique) sidelined, and the Spaniard continues to do what he does best -- rack up stats and fill the boxscore any time he gets decent minutes. Aldama has scored in double digits in five of his seven starts this season, and he's putting up 12.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.6 blocks per game when running with the first unit.

Aldama is in the Grizzlies' starting five for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Jake LaRavia was initially announced to take Aldama's spot in the starting five for Saturday's game, but the Grizzlies have changed course and will keep the latter with the starters. Aldama will make his fifth start of the regular season alongside Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Aldama won't start Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Aldama posted 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in 33 minutes as a starter during Thurday's 122-99 win over the Bucks, which was his fourth start through six regular-season games this season. However, he'll shift to the bench Sunday, making room for Jake LaRavia. Aldama's had mixed results in his two games off the bench this season. On Oct. 30 versus Brooklyn, he scored two points and grabbed three rebounds in 22 minutes during a loss. On Oct. 26 versus Orlando, Aldama posted 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a block in 28 minutes during a win.

Aldama ended Thursday's 122-99 win over Milwaukee with 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes.

Aldama was inserted back into the Grizzlies' starting lineup Thursday due to injuries to Desmond Bane (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle). Aldama took advantage of the opportunity as he was one rebound shy of registering his second double-double of the regular season and was Memphis' second-leading scorer behind Ja Morant (26). As a starter, Aldama is averaging 14.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 30.5 minutes per game.

Aldama is starting Thursday night's game against the Bucks.

Aldama will make his fourth start of the season while a good chunk of the Memphis roster works to get healthy. He put together a strong showing in his last start Monday against the Bulls, finishing with 11 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Aldama will join the second unit for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Aldama exits the starting lineup with Ja Morant (thigh) returning to action. Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart will start alongside Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey as the Grizzlies return to health.

Aldama accumulated 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to the Bulls.

Aldama didn't have his best shooting performance Monday, but the efficiency -- or lack of it, in this case -- is secondary given how good he looked on both ends of the court. Aldama finished just three assists away from recording a triple-double, and even though he's expected to head back to a bench role going forward, he should remain valuable in fantasy as long as he sees enough minutes due to his ability to contribute on both ends of the court.

Aldama will enter the starting lineup in Monday's matchup against the Bulls.

With Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane starting in the backcourt sans Ja Morant (thigh), Aldama will start at small forward. The 23-year-old has carved out a significant role with Memphis this season, and through three regular-season games he is averaging 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor across 27.0 minutes per game.

Aldama closed with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one block over 28 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 win over the Magic.

The 23-year-old scored a team-high 22 points while leading all scorers in the game besides Franz Wagner (23). Aldama has carved out a significant role with Memphis, and he even started the first two games with Jaren Jackson out due to a hamstring injury. Aldama moved back to the bench Saturday, though it didn't prevent him from proving he could be a key depth piece for the Grizzlies.

Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Magic.

Aldama heads to the bench due to the return of Jaren Jackson, who missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury. However, Aldama should see consistent minutes off the bench given how good he looked when given extended playing time.

Aldama posted 27 points (10-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-124 win over Utah.

Aldama got the starting nod in Memphis' regular-season opener with Jaren Jackson (hamstring) out. Aldama repaid coach Taylor Jenkin's faith by leading the team in scoring during Wednesday's narrow victory. Aldama shot 34.9 percent on 5.0 three-point attempts per contest last season and is more than capable of providing spacing for Ja Morant to attack the rim.

Aldama is expected to start in place of Jaren Jackson (hamstring) at power forward in Wednesday's season opener versus the Jazz, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Jackson has been tending to what head coach Taylor Jenkins has referred to as a "low-grade hamstring strain" since the Grizzlies' first preseason practice, and though the standout big man is progressing well, he'll need to take part in more 5-on-5 work this week until Memphis signs off on him making his debut. With Jackson out for Wednesday and likely Friday against the Rockets in the front end of a back-to-back set, Aldama looks to be the next man up to join the second unit. Aldama should provide the Grizzlies with a floor-stretching element in the frontcourt next to rookie center Zach Edey, while Brandon Clarke should be the first big man off the bench and could serve as the top backup at both power forward and center. Aldama could have a fairly clear path to a 25-plus-minute role while Jackson is sidelined, but look for Aldama's playing time to tail off considerably once Jackson is ready to make his 2024-25 debut.

Aldama logged 19 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Friday's 114-109 preseason loss to Miami.

Aldama co-led the Grizzlies in rebounding and scoring Friday with Zach Edey and Desmond Bane, respectively. Aldama saw an extended look during the preseason while Jaren Jackson (hamstring) was sidelined, but the former could start in some games during the 2024-25 regular season if the latter is unable to play.

Aldama will start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Aldama returns to the starting lineup after Jake LaRavia took his spot Saturday in Chicago. With Jaren Jackson's (hamstring) status for the start of the regular season in question, Aldama has a clear path to consistent playing time.

Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls.

The Grizzlies are tweaking their starting lineup for this preseason contest, and Aldama will make way for Jake LaRavia, who has been one of Memphis' standout performers in camp over the last few weeks.

Aldama finished Monday's 121-116 preseason win over the Mavericks with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes.

Aldama was inserted into the starting lineup Monday due to Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and Vince Williams (lower leg) dealing with injuries. Aldama started in 35 of 61 games during the 2023-24 regular season, averaging 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 blocks across 26.5 minutes. The 2021 first-round pick will likely begin the upcoming season in a reserve role behind Jackson and rookie center Zach Edey.

Aldama is expected to be in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against Dallas, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Aldama will enter the starting lineup due to Jaren Jackson (hamstring) and Vince Williams (lower leg) dealing with injuries. Aldama will join the starting five of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and rookie first-round pick Zach Edey.

Aldama recorded seven points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Friday's 88-85 loss to Canada in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Aldama struggled with his outside shot during Friday's loss but still managed to lead Spain in minutes, rebounds and blocks. Across his three appearances in the Olympics, Aldama averaged 17.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 28.3 minutes.

Aldama tallied 27 points (6-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Spain's 92-80 loss to Australia in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

Aldama came out firing against Australia, and he put up a game-high six threes in Saturday's loss. The 23-year-old is the only player for Spain currently on an NBA roster, and he proved his position as the top option in Spain's offense in their opening matchup of the group phase. The squad still has yet to play Canada and Greece in a stacked Group A, and Aldama will likely continue to serve as the focal point of the offense moving forward.

Aldama is on the Spanish national team roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Aldama was Spain's focal point during their Olympics qualifying run, averaging 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 assists in 26.5 minutes across four contests. With the 23-year-old being the only player on the roster currently signed for an NBA team, he will likely be at the heart of any success Spain achieves in Paris.

Aldama (foot) has suited up for the Spanish national team in all three of its Olympic qualifying tournament games thus far in July, averaging 18.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 26.3 minutes per contest.

Aldama has performed well in wins over Lebanon, Angola and Finland and will help Spain secure its spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics with a win Sunday over The Bahamas. The Grizzlies shut Aldama down for the final seven games of the season with a right foot strain, but his involvement with the Spanish national team this summer suggests he'll face no restrictions once NBA training camps get underway.

Aldama (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Aldama will end the season on the sidelines, though that's not surprising given the Grizzlies essentially decided to shut down most of their roster in the final two weeks of the campaign. Aldama will end the 2023-24 season with averages of 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 26.5 minutes per game.

Aldama (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Aldama will miss a sixth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a right foot strain. His final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against the Nuggets.

Aldama (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Aldama continues to deal with a right foot strain, and he'll be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game. He'll have just two more chances to suit up before the end of the regular season, with his next opportunity coming Friday against the Lakers.

Aldama (foot) will be inactive for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.

Aldama will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right foot strain. The Grizzlies' frontcourt is currently populated by GG Jackson, Brandon Clarke and Maozinha Pereira, while Lamar Stevens (groin) is doubtful for Tuesday's contest.

Aldama (foot) will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the 76ers.

Aldama's absence will mark his third straight, as he continues to deal with right foot soreness. The big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Spurs.

Aldama (foot) won't play Friday against the Pistons.

Aldama was a late scratch before Wednesday's surprising win over the Bucks due to right foot soreness, and the lingering issue will prevent the Spaniard from suiting up Friday -- and possibly Saturday in the second half of the back-to-back set against the 76ers. Aldama is averaging 12.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Aldama won't play in Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to right foot soreness.

Aldama was previously not listed on the injury report so his absence comes as a surprise. He'll be replaced by Trey Jamison in the starting lineup. Aldama's next chance to play will come Friday against Detroit for the opening portion of a back-to-back set.

Aldama finished Monday's 110-108 win over the Pistons with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 23 minutes.

Aldama returned to the starting lineup Monday after missing Saturday's contest against the Magic due to an illness. He wasn't able to get much done on offense, but he did manage to reject three shots, which was the fifth time he's reached that mark this season. Since entering the starting lineup in January, Aldama is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 blocks over 30.2 minutes per game.

Aldama (illness) has been cleared for Monday's game against Detroit.

Aldama joins a Grizzlies' frontcourt headlined by Jaren Jackson, Jake LaRavia, GG Jackson and Brandon Clarke on Monday. Aldama's production has been volatile of late, but he has been locked into a reliable 30-minute role.

Aldama (illness) has been upgraded to questionable in advance of Monday's game against Detroit.

Aldama has a chance to return Monday after missing a Saturday's loss to Orlando due to illness. His status will need to be monitored, while Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson represented the Grizzlies' starting forwards in Aldama's stead Saturday.

Aldama (illness) will not play Saturday against the Magic.

No surprise here, as Aldama was considered doubtful prior to this update. Jake LaRavia, GG Jackson and Lamar Stevens are candidates to receive a boost in playing time with Aldama sidelined.

Aldama is doubtful for Saturday's game against Orlando due to an illness.

Aldama appeared in the Grizzlies' last six matchups, averaging 13.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 34.0 minutes per game. However, he'll likely be unavailable Saturday, which could lead to increased playing time for Jake LaRavia, GG Jackson and Lamar Stevens.

Aldama ended with 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 99-97 win over the Spurs.

Aldama led all Grizzlies players in rebounds while ending as one of four players with 15 or more points en route to posting the lone double-double for Memphis in a winning effort. Aldama, who also handed out a trio of assists to go along with a team-high trio of threes, set a new season high in rebounds while notching his fifth double-double of the year.

Aldama notched 27 points (9-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 137-116 loss to Golden State.

It was the third-year big's best scoring performance since he dropped 28 points on the Celtics back on Nov. 19, and the six made three-pointers tied his season high. Aldama's all-around contributions continue to drive his fantasy value, and over 10 games in March he's averaging 15.3 points, 6.2 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.6 threes, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals.

Aldama (elbow) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Aldama has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with nagging left elbow soreness. Aldama is averaging 12.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Aldama (elbow) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Aldama continues to deal with an elbow injury but has suited up in Memphis' last two contests. If Aldama is ruled out, Trey Jemison, John Konchar and GG Jackson are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Aldama chipped in 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 121-111 overtime loss to the Kings.

Aldama finished just one rebound shy of recording a double-double, but the Spaniard still delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court, filling out the stat sheet and chipping in defensively as well. It wouldn't be surprising if Aldama holds a starting role in the final weeks of the regular season, and on that note, he's scored in double figures in seven of his last eight starts, averaging 13.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 blocks per game in that span.

Aldama (elbow) is available to face the Thunder on Saturday.

The presence of Aldama will provide a boost for the Grizzlies on both ends of the court, as the Spaniard has been productive when called upon duty this season. Aldama, who sat out the loss to Charlotte on Wednesday, is averaging 12.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Aldama (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Aldama was sidelined for Wednesday's loss to Charlotte, opening up a spot for GG Jackson in the starting lineup. Memphis injury report continues to be tiresome, so it's unclear what the Grizzlies' rotation will look like until we know who's going to be available.

Aldama (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Jaren Jackson (quad), Vince Williams (knee) and Lamar Stevens (groin) will be joining Aldama on the sidelines Wednesday night, so Jake LaRavia should continue to get all the run he can handle and makes for an enticing target in daily fantasy leagues. Aldama's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Thunder.

Aldama is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to left elbow soreness.

Aldama is in danger of missing his first contest since Feb. 4 on Wednesday due to an elbow injury. If Aldama is ultimately ruled out, GG Jackson will likely receive increased playing time.

Aldama totaled 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 109-97 victory over the Wizards.

Aldama did just enough to satisfy managers, compiling a modest, yet mediocre line. Predicting the Grizzlies' rotation from one night to the next is basically impossible at this point. When available, Aldama makes for a viable streaming option. Feel free to trot him out Wednesday, although keep in mind he could very be ruled out prior to tip-off.

Aldama recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 victory over Philadelphia.

The third-year big has caught fire from three-point range, going 10-for-23 (43.5 percent) over the last three games. Aldama's had trouble maintaining much consistency this season, but the injury-ravaged Grizzles will keep him giving him heavy minutes. Over 15 games since the beginning of February, he's averaging 10.5 points, 5.5 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.9 blocks.

Aldama racked up 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.

Aldama bounced back from the ugly shooting performance he had against the Trail Blazers on Friday, when he finished with six points on 3-for-10 shooting. He responded by posting his first 20-point outing since Nov. 24. Aldama is one of several Memphis players who have been trusted into more significant roles as the season has progressed. Still, the Spaniard has done a good job overall, even if his recent displays have been subpar. He's averaging just 10.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game since the All-Star break.

Aldama ended with 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Even though Aldama scored in double digits for the first time since delivering 11 points in a loss to the Hornets on Feb. 10, the struggles continued for him. The Spaniard has now gone 10 games without surpassing the 15-point plateau, and what's even worse for him, he's shooting a meager 39.1 percent from the field, as well as 28 percent from deep, in that stretch.

Aldama provided seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's 101-95 loss to the Clippers.

Aldama has worked as a starter in each of his past 14 games, but he's fallen off of late, failing to exceed seven points or six boards in any of his past four contests. He's shooting just 35.7 percent from the field over that span, which is unacceptable given his frontcourt position. Aldama may get a chance to work out of the funk given the Grizzlies' lowly place in the standings and lack of depth, though the team could also opt to start rookies GG Jackson or Trey Jemison at some point in order to shake things up.

Aldama (lower body) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks.

Aldama has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Memphis' previous contest with a tailbone contusion. He will likely replace Trey Jemison as the team's starting center against New York.

Aldama (tailbone) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Aldama was unavailable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a tailbone contusion, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to return Tuesday. If he's able to suit up, he could see a fairly sizable role since the Grizzlies remain shorthanded.

Aldama (tailbone) is out for Sunday's game against Boston

Aldama will miss his first game since Jan. 24 and his 12th game of the season overall. Memphis continues to be plagued by injuries, with Luke Kennard, GG Jackson and David Roddy headlining the available players.

Aldama is questionable to play Sunday versus Boston due to a tailbone contusion.

Aldama has played through a tailbone bruise for two consecutive contests, although it's unclear if his 21-minute workload in Friday's loss to Golden State was related to the nagging injury. Xavier Tillman (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's contest while Jaren Jackson (hip) has been ruled out, leaving the Grizzlies' frontcourt in flux.

Aldama closed Thursday's 108-101 loss to the Cavaliers with 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 38 minutes.

Making his fourth straight start and sixth in the last seven games -- he sat out a Jan. 24 contest in Miami due to a sore knee -- Aldama fell one board short of his fifth double-double of the season. Since returning from the knee issue, the third-year big is averaging 14.5 points, 7.3 boards, 3.3 threes and 2.8 assists in 32.3 minutes a game, and he should continue handling a big role on an injury-ravaged Grizzlies roster.

Aldama (tailbone soreness) will be available for Thursday's game against the Cavs.

Aldama will power through the tailbone issue, and he should continue to get all the run he can handle on this Memphis team hurting for healthy bodies. He makes sense as a streamer on Thursday's light slate.

Taylor Jenkins said that Santi Aldama (knee) will likely be available for Thursday's game against the Cavs, Grizzlies beat writer, Sharon Brown reports.

Aldama is still being officially listed as "questionable" on the injury report, but it sounds like he's trending towards playing. If he can give it a go, he should get all the run he can handle on this Memphis team that's been devastated by injuries. Stay tuned.

Aldama is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to tailbone soreness.

Aldama dealt with a knee injury last week but appeared in the last three matchups and averaged 13.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 30.3 minutes per game. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday after he was a late addition to the Grizzlies' injury report. If Aldama is unavailable, David Roddy and Jaren Jackson could see increased run.

Aldama (knee) is available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Aldama will shed his questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence. He has struggled quite a bit in January, posting averages of 8.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers on 39.0 percent shooting from the field.

Aldama (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.

Aldama missed his team's last contest Wednesday against the Heat due to right knee soreness, and his status remains up in the air for Friday's clash. The Grizzlies' medical staff will monitor him closely leading up to tipoff and should have another update closer to game time.

Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Heat.

Aldama will miss Wednesday's game due to a right knee injury he suffered against the Raptors. GG Jackson and David Roddy will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Aldama's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Orlando.

Aldama will not return to Monday's contest due to right knee soreness.

Aldama was ruled out during the third quarter Monday, although it's unclear if a specific incident occurred. Aldama posted 10 points, five rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes prior to his exit.

Aldama will enter the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Xavier Tillman (knee) is sitting out for Memphis, leaving the team very shorthanded in the frontcourt. As a result, Aldama is likely looking at a healthy workload Saturday evening. As a starter this season, Aldama holds averages of 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.6 three-pointers.

Aldama (knee) recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 17 minutes off the bench in Monday's 116-107 win over the Warriors.

After missing the Grizzlies' previous three games with a left knee contusion, Aldama stepped back into the rotation Monday and produced solid numbers in the blocks category in particular while serving as the primary backup to starting center Xavier Tillman. Though Aldama has seen most of his minutes at power forward in 2023-24, he could end up working primarily as a center in the wake of Bismack Biyombo's release and with rookie GG Jackson staking a claim to a larger role at forward.

Aldama (knee) has been upgraded to available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Aldama has missed his last three games due to injury but will make his return Monday night. In his last six games before his injury, Aldama averaged 7.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks across 18.5 minutes.

Aldama (knee) is expected to play Monday against the Warriors, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.

A bruised left knee has kept Aldama out over the past three games. With the Grizzlies dealing with numerous significant injuries, Aldama's presence is more important than ever. He's averaging 10.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 23.2 minutes.

Aldama (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.

Aldama has missed the last three games due to a left knee contusion and his status is once again in question. If he is unable to go, Xavier Tillman should see extended minutes.

Aldama (knee) will remain sidelined for Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.

Aldama's absence will mark his third straight game missed due to a knee issue. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Warriors. While he is sidelined, Xavier Tillman could potentially see some extra minutes in Memphis' frontcourt.

Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Aldama missed Tuesday's game against Dallas due to a left knee contusion and will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. Whether he'll be available Saturday against the Knicks remains to be seen.

Aldama (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Aldama has been downgraded from doubtful to out Tuesday with a left knee contusion. Aldama's next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

Aldama is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a left knee contusion.

This is a new issue for Aldama, though it's unclear when he suffered the injury. His role has been very minor over the past couple games, but Xavier Tillman could potentially pick up a handful of minutes in Aldama's expected absence.

Aldama finished Tuesday's 106-98 victory over the Spurs with 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes.

Aldama has alternated between the starting lineup and the bench, but he has played with the second unit most of the season. His numbers have been solid enough to make him an asset in fantasy in deep formats, as he often finds ways to contribute on both ends of the court. Over his last 10 contests, Aldama is averaging 8.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game despite logging just 20.3 minutes per contest. and he's also shooting 50.8 percent from the field in that span.

Aldama (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Aldama is back in the mix after sitting out Thursday's game versus the Nuggets. Xavier Tillman has been struggling for the Grizzlies in recent games, so Aldama has a big opportunity in front of him.

Aldama (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Aldama was added to Thursday's injury report due to his illness, and he was unable to suit up against the Nuggets. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set, but Jaren Jackson, Xavier Tillman and Bismack Biyombo could see increased run if Aldama sits again.

Aldama (illness) will not play versus the Nuggets on Thursday.

Ja Morant is also out due to illness Thursday. Aldama is day-to-day and should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. Jaren Jackson is looking at a significant workload, and the Grizzlies will also need to rely heavily on Xavier Tillman and Bismack Biyombo.

Aldama is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness.

Aldama was a late addition to Thursday's injury report due to his illness, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up in the first half of a back-to-back set. If he's unavailable, David Roddy and Ziaire Williams are candidates to see additional playing time.

Aldama amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in nine minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 overtime win over New Orleans.

Aldama was barely utilized in the win, playing just nine minutes off the bench. As the Grizzlies begin to get their key pieces back on the floor, it appears as though Aldama is going to be one of the players who is scaled back in the rotation. He remains a player to keep an eye given we know what he can do when afforded meaningful minutes. Until that time, he can be safely overlooked in most formats.

Aldama will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Aldama started Monday's matchup and logged six points, three assists, two steals and a block over 20 minutes. However, he'll rejoin the reserves for Wednesday's tilt. In 11 games with the second unit, Aldama is averaging 11.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Aldama will make his fifth start of the season and his first since Nov.26. Bismack Biyombo will head to the bench as Memphis attempts to counter the small-ball, spacing-oriented Mavericks' offense, which features Dante Exum and Derrick Jones at the forward positions.

Aldama posted nine points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block over 24 minutes in Friday's 127-103 loss to Minnesota.

Aldama led all Grizzlies in rebounds while finishing second on the team in assists and one point short of a double-double performance in the defeat. Aldama has hauled in 10 or more boards in three games this year, adding at least five assists and nine points in two of those outings.

Aldama had 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes off the bench during Friday's 108-94 win over Dallas.

Only four Memphis players even scored in double digits on the night, and Aldama parlayed his efficient offense into his third double-double of the season. The third-year big has supplied more than 10 points in seven of the last eight contests, averaging 17.5 points, 7.1 boards, 2.4 assists, 2.1 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch as he moves into a significant role in the Grizzlies' frontcourt.

Aldama will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Despite averaging 17.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in his last four games with the starters, Aldama will come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt. Instead, the Grizzlies will start Derrick Rose, Desmond Bane, David Roddy, Jaren Jackson and Bismack Biyombo.

Aldama provided 14 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 119-97 loss to the Timberwolves.

Aldama has started in each of Memphis' last four games, and even though the team has gone 0-4 in those contests, Aldama continues to find ways to impact while embracing the more significant role. He's averaging 17.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game when playing with the first unit, and that includes surpassing the 20-point mark twice in that span.

Aldama posted 21 points (9-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt) and five rebounds across 36 minutes during Friday's 110-89 loss to the Suns.

Aldama has been one of the few successful stories in a struggling Memphis team, and the Spaniard is finding ways to make an impact on offense while also overachieving even the most optimistic preseason predictions. Aldama has scored at least 20 points in three of his last five outings, and given the way he's been playing of late, he should remain a starter until further notice.

Aldama registered 28 points (11-27 FG, 6-15 3Pt), 12 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 102-100 loss to the Celtics.

An ankle injury delayed his start to the 2023-24 season, but Aldama is rolling now. The 28 points mark a new season high, and he's officially hot with averages of 23.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.3 three-pointers over the last three games.

Aldama is starting Sunday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Aldama posted a double-double in 36 minutes of playing time during Saturday's loss to the Spurs, and he'll make his first start of the season during the second half of the back-to-back set. Jacob Gilyard will retreat to the bench Sunday.

Aldama ended with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 120-108 victory over the Spurs.

Aldama has been excellent off the bench for the Grizzlies this season and continues to make an impact every time he steps on the court. His bench role means his upside will ultimately be tied to the minutes he sees, but it's worth noting he has scored in double digits every time he's logged more than 20 minutes.

Aldama posted 24 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 134-107 loss to the Lakers.

Aldama was one of several Memphis reserves that took advantage of extended minutes in a blowout loss, and the Spaniard continues to make an impact on every chance he has. He's averaging 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists in only 21.0 minutes per game, and he could be a decent streaming option in deeper formats when looking to round out the roster in specific slates.

Aldama (ankle) will play in Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers, Rob Fischer of Grind City Media reports.

Aldama will make his season debut for the Grizzlies after sitting out the first six contests with an ankle injury. Aldama will likely serve as a backup forward with scoring and rebounding upside, but his role could be expanded with good play as the team has struggled to find a successful rotation to this point.

Aldama (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against Portland.

Aldama has yet to make an appearance this season due to his ankle injury. His next chance to play will be Sunday in a rematch against Portland.

Aldama (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Portland.

Aldama hasn't been able to make an appearance this season due to his lingering ankle issue. When he does get the green light, he'll immediately have a shot at significant rotation minutes with Steven Adams (knee) out for the season.

Aldama (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.

Aldama has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a right ankle sprain. David LaRavia and David Roddy should continue to see extended minutes in Aldama's absence.

Aldama (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Aldama continues to deal with a sprained right ankle and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game to begin the season. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Jazz.

Aldama (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Wizards.

Aldama will miss his third straight game to start the season due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Dallas.

Aldama (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Aldama recently sustained a mild right ankle sprain in practice and will be forced to miss a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. He's considered day-to-day, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against Washington. David Roddy should continue to see increased playing time Friday.

Aldama is out for Wednesday's season opener against the Pelicans due to a mild right ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day.

Aldama suffered his injury in practice but doesn't seem likely to be out long-term. David Roddy and Kenneth Lofton could receive extended minutes off Memphis' bench in the frountcourt in his absence. Aldama's next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with New Orleans.

Aldama had his fourth-year team option exercised Monday.

This transaction was expected, and it keeps Aldama on the books through the 2024-25 season. With Steven Adams (knee) out for the entire season, both Aldama and Xavier Tillman will get the chance to step up for Memphis. His fantasy arrow is pointed straight up.

Aldama notched 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's 124-116 preseason loss to the Bucks.

Aldama was one of Memphis' best players in the preseason, as he posted solid numbers regardless of whether he was a starter or a bench option. He's going to open the season as one of the leading players in the second unit, but he should have decent fantasy upside -- mostly in deep formats -- due to his ability to put up solid scoring numbers in limited minutes.

Aldama is coming off the bench for Friday's preseason game against the Bucks.

The Grizzlies are still experimenting with lineups as the preseason comes to an end. Steven Adams is resting Friday, while Aldama and Xavier Tillman are vying for the backup center minutes for Opening Night.

Aldama notched 22 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 103-102 preseason win loss to the Hawks.

Aldama is in the mix for a regular bench role and made a strong case for that with a solid 22-point effort in a game where the coaching staff decided to rest all the regular starters except Steven Adams. Aldama appeared in 77 games last season and averaged 9.0 points per game, so he should see decent minutes as a backup big man in the regular season, though he's most likely to play as a power forward instead of a center.

Aldama will move into the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks.

The Grizzlies are resting several key players Thursday, and that includes Jaren Jackson Jr. Aldama is coming off a strong 2022-23 season and will be looking to solidify a rotation spot heading into Opening Night.

Aldama logged 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 29 minutes during Friday's 125-85 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

The Grizzlies struggled offensively throughout the series, barring some bright moments, but Aldama made his presence felt in this one and stepped his game up despite coming off the bench. This was his first playoff game in double digits, but he only averaged 6.5 points and 4.3 rebounds across 16.5 minutes per contest in the series.

Aldama (elbow) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Aldama was one of many Memphis players sidelined for game 82 of the regular season but has been given the green light ahead of Sunday's playoff opener. With Steven Adams (knee) unlikely to return during the postseason, Aldama should hold down a significant frontcourt role off the bench.

Aldama (elbow) won't play Sunday against the Thunder, as expected.

Aldama will be joining Jaren Jackson (elbow) on the sidelines for Sunday's game, so expect Xavier Tillman, David Roddy and Kenneth Loften to hold down the frontcourt. Tillman should return to the first unit, and he could be a target for managers seeking some boards and stocks (steals and blocks).

Aldama (elbow) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Aldama received a doubtful designation for the second consecutive game Sunday, after injuring his elbow on April 5. With the Grizzlies likely shorthanded Sunday, frontcourt duties could be left to Xavier Tillman, David Roddy, and Kenneth Lofton.

Aldama (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

As expected, Aldama has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss at least one game due to an elbow injury he suffered during Wednesday's loss to New Orleans. With Steven Adams (knee) also still out, the Nuggets will be thin in the frontcourt. Aldama's next chance to suit up will come during Sunday's regular-season finale in Oklahoma City.

Aldama is considered doubtful for Friday's game versus the Bucks due to left elbow soreness.

Aldama received a spot start Wednesday but left the game after just seven minutes of action due to an elbow issue. Fortunately, he doesn't appear to be dealing with a major issue, so he could have a chance to return for Sunday's regular-season finale if he's out Friday as expected.

Aldama is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans due to an elbow injury, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Aldama recorded two points, one rebound and one assist in seven minutes before exiting Wednesday's game. The Grizzlies will likely have to go small with Jaren Jackson at center, as Xavier Tillman (ankle) is also out. Aldama's status for Friday's game versus the Pelicans is uncertain.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Aldama will replace Xavier Tillman (ankle) in the starting five Wednesday. Aldama is averaging 11.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks in 28.5 minutes across his previous 19 games starting this season.

Aldama finished with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 16 minutes during Friday's 108-94 victory over the Clippers.

Aldama returned to a bench role after making a spot start Wednesday, but he made his presence felt with an efficient performance. He ended just two boards shy of a double-double while also scoring in double digits for the third time over his last seven outings. The Spaniard averaged 8.9 points and 5.5 rebounds off the bench during March.

Aldama will play a reserve role in Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Aldama got the spot start in his previous game, but the Grizzlies will roll with Jaren Jackson and Xavier Tillman in their frontcourt Friday.

Aldama notched 17 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 141-132 loss to the Clippers.

As the Grizzlies sat Desmond Bane (foot), Jaren Jackson (calf) and Tyus Jones (foot) on the second night of a back-to-back, Aldama got his first start since Feb. 5. He almost picked up his fourth double-double of the season. When Aldama plays at least 25 minutes he is averaging 13.0 points and 7.0 rebounds. If the Grizzlies elect to rest other players to close out the season, he may be a worthwhile streaming option for rebounds.

Aldama will join the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Aldama will step into the starting lineup for the first time since Feb. 5, with Jaren Jackson (calf) sidelined. In 18 appearances with the first five, Aldama has averaged 11.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over 28.2 minutes.

Aldama recorded 22 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over the Mavericks.

Aldama came into the contest averaging just 20.2 minutes over his previous five contests, but he saw 28 minutes against Dallas and made the most of his opportunity. The big man finished with his fourth double-double of the season, registering career highs in both points and rebounds. Aldama has proven capable of providing sneaky fantasy value when given ample playing time, but he's difficult to roster with his minutes typically in the high teens or low 20s.

Aldama ended Thursday's 131-110 victory over Golden State with 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.

Aldama played at least 30 minutes for the first time in over a month, topping double digits for the second straight game. With Brandon Clarke (Achilles) done for the season and Steven Adams (knee) set to miss at least another month, Aldama should feature heavily moving forward. While Xavier Tillman is the preferred option, Aldama could provide just enough value to be looked at for streaming purposes, even in 12-team leagues.

Aldama finished Sunday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics with nine points (2-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes.

Aldama's erratic shooting from the three-point range took a bigger performance off the table, but his ability to check off every major category made him useful enough for those that streamed him in Sunday. He's unlikely to approach 30 minutes like he did Sunday on a regular basis, however; the elevated playing time was a byproduct of starting power forward Jaren Jackson fouling out in just 20 minutes.

Aldama provided 18 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds in 20 minutes during Friday's 128-107 victory over Minnesota.

Aldama made the most of his 20 minutes off the bench Friday, missing just two shots from the field and ending with one of his best scoring marks of the campaign. The Spaniard has scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, but he should remain off the bench going forward and that should limit his upside considerably.

Aldama isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Chicago, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Aldama will be replaced by Dillon Brooks in the starting lineup Tuesday. He is averaging 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes across his last five games coming off the bench.

Aldama finished Sunday's 106-103 loss to the Raptors with 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes.

Though Jaren Jackson (thigh) returned from a one-game absence, Aldama still drew a second consecutive start as part of an oversized lineup that also featured Xavier Tillman at center. Aldama ended up serving as the small forward on the top unit in place of Dillon Brooks, who was serving a one-game suspension. Even if Ja Morant (wrist) remains sidelined for a second straight game Tuesday against the Bulls, Aldama will likely head back to the bench and should see a steep downturn in playing time, despite faring well over his pair of starts. Between losses to the Cavaliers and Raptors, Aldama averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33 minutes.

Aldama is starting Sunday against Toronto, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Aldama started Friday against the Cavaliers and logged 21 points, 10 rebounds, an assist and a steal in 34 minutes. Although Jaren Jackson will be back in action Sunday, Aldama will remain in the starting lineup with Dillon Brooks (suspension) unavailable.

Aldama supplied 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 128-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Aldama moved into the starting lineup Thursday, filling in for Jaren Jackson who was ruled out due to a thigh injury. While this is likely just a short-term move, Aldama was able to remind everyone of what he was able to do earlier in the season. Unfortunately, he had logged no more than 21 minutes in eight straight games prior to this. He is fine to stream in if Jackson does miss more time, but beyond that, he is better suited to deeper formats.

Santi Aldama will enter the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cavs, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.

This was the expected move with Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) unavailable for Thursday's game, and Aldama could make sense as a streaming option. Through 12 starts this season, he's put in averages of 9.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 triples, 1.0 steal and 1.1 block per contest. Joining him in the first unit will be Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks and Xavier Tillman.

Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins indicated Thursday that Aldama is in line to start at the four against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.

Aldama's impending starting nod comes in place of Jaren Jackson (thigh), who is doubtful to suit up Thursday evening. Aldama's starting spot will likely only last as long as Jackson remains sidelined, and there is no indication at this point that Jackson's injury will cost him extensive action.

Aldama posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 12 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 loss to the Suns.

Aldama's role continues to shrink, having played fewer than 20 minutes in three straight games. After a red-hot start to the season, he has quickly become an afterthought in fantasy circles, clocking in as the 241st-ranked player over the past month. Should Jaren Jackson miss time at some point, Aldama would be back on the radar as a possible streaming target. Failing that, he can be left for those in deeper formats.

Aldama posted 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 130-112 win over the Pacers.

Aldama had a fairly quiet first half with six points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field, adding three rebounds and a steal. The Memphis forward was a bit more aggressive in the second half, knocking down four of six shot attempts for another 11 points as the Grizzlies easily took care of Indiana on the road. Aldama finished third on the team in scoring with 17 points, his second-highest point total of the season and is shooting 55.3 percent from the field in the month of January.

Aldama (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets.

Aldama has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury and was initially deemed questionable for Wednesday. He'll ultimately return to action against Charlotte, but it's unclear how much run he'll get. Before his brief absence, the backup big man had posted 9.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.9 minutes over his past 15 appearances (one start).

Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Aldama was listed as doubtful prior to Sunday's game against the Kings, so his questionable tag Wednesday represents an upgrade in terms of his chances of suiting up. Should Aldama retake the floor, he would presumably slot back into a double-digit bench role in the Grizzlies' frontcourt.

Aldama (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Kings.

Aldama will sit for the second straight night as he continues to deal with a sore ankle. His absence will likely leave 15-to-20 minutes up for grabs, and with Brandon Clarke (hip) and Desmond Bane (toe) also out, rookies David Roddy and Jake LaRavia should be in line for increased action.

Aldama (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Aldama already missed Saturday's game and might be in line to sit out the second half of this back-to-back set. If that is the case, then his next chance to play would come Wednesday at Charlotte. The potential absence of Aldama would free up minutes for the likes of Brandon Clarke and possibly Jake LaRavia.

Aldama (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Coach Taylor Jenkins noted Aldama was trending towards sitting out Saturday, and he will in fact be sidelined for the contest. Brandon Clarke should see an expanded role with Aldama absent. His next chance to play will come Sunday against Sacramento.

Head Coach Taylor Jenkins said there is a "good chance" Aldama (ankle) doesn't play Saturday against the Pelicans, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.

Aldama exited the team's last game with left ankle soreness and will likely miss Saturday's first leg of a home back-to-back set. Brandon Clarke should enjoy a larger role in his stead.

Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans.

Aldama is questionable Saturday after exiting Thursday's contest with left ankle soreness. His next opportunity to play Sunday's matchup with the Kings if he can't suit up against the Pelicans.

Aldama exited Thursday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle soreness and will not return.

Aldama suffered the injury early in the second half and it will hold him out for the rest of the contest, which should allow Brandon Clarke to receive more minutes. He will have just one day to rest up before the Grizzlies take on New Orleans on Saturday.

Aldama contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 20 minutes during Friday's 125-100 win over Phoenix.

Aldama's efficient scoring helped him post a plus-three point differential Friday. The rookie forward has lost much of his fantasy value since moving to the bench, as he is averaging 9.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.9 minutes across the 14 games he hasn't started this season.

Aldama had 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 142-101 win over the Bucks.

Aldama needed only six attempts from the field to reach 14 points. He continued his success from beyond the arc, as he's now drilled two triples in each of his last five matchups. Aldama is averaging 12.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists through seven games in December.

Aldama isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Steve McGehee of News 9 Oklahoma City reports.

Aldama will be replaced by Jaren Jackson in the starting five Wednesday. Aldama is averaging 9.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 35.3 minutes across 23 games this season.

Aldama finished with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 101-93 victory over the Heat.

Aldama came through for anyone who managed to stream him in, delivering his best performance in almost a month. With Jaren Jackson (rest) given the night off, Aldama stepped in as the starter, compiling just his third double-double of the season. While it was a strong performance, Jackson should return for the next game, sending Aldama back to the bench.

Aldama is starting Monday's game against Miami.

Aldama is set to draw his first start since Nov. 20, when he finished with eight points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes. He should see plenty of chances with both Jaren Jackson (foot) and Jake LaRavia (foot) out.

Aldama produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 18 minutes during Sunday's 122-112 victory over the Pistons.

Aldama didn't do much in terms of scoring, but he turned in his best rebounding performance since Nov. 18 and also flashed his ability to protect the rim. He's swatted away five shots over his last two contests to go along with 12 total boards and eight assists.

Aldama supplied 13 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 22 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over the 76ers.

Aldama supplied double-digit scoring for the first time since Nov 18. He also put forth his sixth contest this season with multiple blocks. The 21-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals/blocks in 18.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Aldama (illness) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Aldama will be back in the rotation following a one-game absence. His role has been reduced since the return of Jaren Jackson, but Aldama is still averaging a solid 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 21.3 minutes across the past four games, giving him some viability in deep leagues.

Aldama (illness) will not play in Friday's game against the Pelicans.

The Grizzlies will be shorthanded in the frontcourt Friday without Aldama and Xavier Tillman (illness), meaning Jaren Jackson, Steven Adams (illness) and Brandon Clarke will be relied upon heavily. Aldama's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Knicks.

Aldama is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a non-COVID illness.

Aldama is expected to miss his first game of the season. In his presumed absence, more minutes should be available for Brandon Clarke, Jake LaRavia and other frontcourt options.

Aldama chipped in eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

Aldama replaced Jaren Jackson (injury management) in the starting lineup but failed to capitalize. After a nice start to the season, Aldama has fallen by the wayside when it comes to putting up fantasy value, barely putting up top 150 value over the past week. Outside of sporadic streaming value, he is fine to move on from in competitive formats for now.

Aldama posted 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Friday's 121-110 win over the Thunder.

Aldama saw a balanced outing in Friday's win, finishing with a team-high scoring total off the bench while posting his eighth double-digit point total of the season. Aldama has tallied 15 or more points with five or more rebounds three times this year.

Aldama isn't in the starting five Tuesday against New Orleans, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

With Jaren Jackson returning to the lineup, Aldama will come in off the bench. The forward has averaged 9.8 points and 27.7 minutes across 14 previous starts.

Aldama amassed 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to Washington.

Aldama scored nine of his 15 points from beyond the arc and knocked down three triples for just the second time in 14 games this season. He's finished in double figures in back-to-back contests but certainly isn't a lock to do so on a consistent basis. It is good to see Aldama put in work on the glass, collecting seven or more rebounds in four of his last five matchups.

Aldama logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 114-103 win over Minnesota.

Aldama returned to double-digit scoring, but he brushed up against his ceiling, as he hasn't exceeded 12 points in any of his last nine contests. Nonetheless, Aldama remains a core piece of Memphis' lineup until Jaren Jackson (foot) returns.

Aldama totaled four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 103-97 win over the Wizards.

Aldama battled on the glass all night and came through on the defensive end, though he did struggle to shoot the ball in this one. He typically turns in a more efficient outing on offense, as he entered Sunday's matchup having shot 9-for-17 from the field over his first two games of November.

Aldama produced 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 134-124 victory over the Nets.

Aldama took only eight shots in the contest, but he made six of them (including two from beyond the arc). That allowed him to tally 17 points, just one shy of his season high. Aldama is taking advantage of a starting role in his second NBA campaign to average a solid 12.8 points, 7.5 boards and 1.3 blocks though his first four contests.

Aldama amassed 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 overtime victory over New York.

The 11 boards were a career high, as Aldama put together a statement game after winning the starting power forward job for the Grizzlies in the preseason. Jaren Jackson (foot) isn't expected back before December, so Aldama should get plenty of opportunity to establish himself as a key part of the team's frontcourt after being the 30th overall pick in last year's draft.

Aldama will start Wednesday's season-opener against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Aldama will get the nod at power forward alongside Steven Adams to begin the year, and it looks as though he'll have a chance to grab hold of that spot for the foreseeable future -- at least until Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) returns from injury. It is worth noting, however, that Memphis is without both Dillon Brooks (thigh) and Ziaire Williams (knee), so it's possible coach Taylor Jenkins could use a different lineup when both players are available. Either way, it's encouraging for Aldama that he's starting over Brandon Clarke.

The Grizzlies exercised the 2023-24 option on Aldama's rookie-scale contract Saturday.

As expected, Aldama, a 2021 first-round pick, is now officially on Memphis' books through his third NBA season. Though head coach Taylor Jenkins hasn't yet confirmed a starting lineup for Wednesday's season opener against the Knicks, Aldama's usage in the preseason suggests that he'll get the starting nod at power forward over Brandon Clarke while Jaren Jackson (foot) is likely sidelined for several games to begin the campaign. Aldama saw limited action as a rookie, but he impressed in the preseason with averages of 12.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.2 three-pointers and 0.4 steals in 25.2 minutes per contest while shooting 57.5 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line in five games.

Aldama compiled 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's loss to the Heat.

Aldama impressed yet again, continuing to thrive as a member of the starting unit. With Jaren Jackson likely to miss at least a month of action, Aldama now appears to be the favorite to replace him in the starting lineup. While he remains largely unproven, we have seen enough over the past week to make him worth considering in the backend of standard leagues.

Aldama recorded 21 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and six rebounds over 24 minutes Monday in a 109-97 preseason victory against the Magic.

After posting 13 points and eight boards in Memphis' exhibition opener Saturday, Aldama upped his scoring output against Orlando thanks largely to knocking down four of five three-point attempts. The big man wasn't particularly productive in his rookie campaign last season, but he's already showing flashes of improvement in preseason play. He could have a bigger role to begin the season with Jaren Jackson (foot) likely out until November or December.

Aldama scored 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt) with eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes versus the Bucks on Saturday.

Aldama scored Memphis' first points of the game on a 27-foot three pointer in the first quarter, shortly after blocking a Bobby Portis' alley-oop layup attempt. The Grizzlies center scored five of his 13 total points in the quarter to go along with two assists and the block. The only downside to Aldama's performance came in the form of four fouls, three of which were called against him in the first half.

Aldama is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Aldama didn't impress too much as a rookie last season, but he will have a chance to show what he can do this time around. He averaged 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.3 minutes across 32 appearances during the previous campaign.

Aldama posted 31 points (12-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's Summer League win over the Nets.

Aldama saw spot minutes as a rookie last season, averaging 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.3 minutes across 32 appearances. While he only shot 6-for-48 from three, he showed off the longball Tuesday. It's encouraging he's showing progress, but Aldama will still presumably only be a depth option in the frontcourt for Memphis.

Aldama will miss a second straight game. Even when available, it's unlikely he'll make an impact in the postseason.

Aldama is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against Minnesota due to a sore right knee.

Aldama could be trending toward game-time call status for Game 2, but he won't be a part of the Grizzlies' regular playoff rotation, so ultimately whether or not he's cleared won't have any fantasy ramifications.

Aldama totaled 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 139-110 loss to the Celtics.

Aldama was sidelined for Saturday's game due to an illness, but he returned to action Sunday and saw an increased role with the Grizzlies resting several key players. The rookie big man made the most of his increased opportunity by notching career highs in points, rebounds, assists and block en route to his first career double-double. Aldama made 32 appearances during his first NBA campaign and averaged 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.3 minutes.

Aldama (illness) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Celtics.

The Grizzlies are resting several players Sunday, so Aldama will likely be set for a tangible bump in minutes off the bench. In the three games this season in which he's played at least 20 minutes, Aldama is averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks (23.0 MPG).

Aldama (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Aldama was sidelined for Saturday's game due to an illness, but he's expected to be available Sunday. While he's not normally a part of the rotation, the Grizzlies are resting the majority of their regulars, so the rookie may see extended playing time against Boston.

Aldama (illness) is out Saturday against New Orleans.

Aldama was a late addition to Saturday's injury report due to a non-COVID illness, and he'll be unable to play in the penultimate game of the regular season. His absence shouldn't impact the Grizzlies' rotation much.

Aldama is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness.

Aldama is a late addition to the injury report. That said, the rotation shouldn't be affected much if he sits out.

Aldama was assigned to the Memphis Hustle on Monday.

Aldama was active for Saturday's game against the Hornets in spite of his foot injury, but he didn't see any playing time. He should be available for Monday's G League game against the Oklahoma City Blue but is expected to be recalled by the Grizzlies afterward.

Aldama (foot) is available Saturday against the Hornets.

Despite being active, it's unlikely Aldama will see significant minutes. He's only a factor in the rotation when the Grizzlies' frontcourt is depleted.

Aldama had five points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one assist and one block over 13 minutes during Sunday's 104-91 loss to the Mavericks.

Aldama has appeared in two of the Grizzlies last three contests and has totaled 11 points, three rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during those games. Even with Brandon Clarke (back) out of the lineup, Aldama doesn't provide enough production to be worth fantasy consideration.

Aldama recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds and one block across 17 minutes in the Grizzlies' 118-104 win over the Nets on Monday.

Making his second appearance since an eight-game absence due to a calf injury, Aldama earned his most minutes since Dec. 2 while a shorthanded Grizzlies squad saw a number of big men contend with foul trouble. Until Memphis gets the likes of Kyle Anderson, Xavier Tillman, Dillon Brooks, De'Anthony Melton and John Konchar out of the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Aldama should be able to hold down a minor role off the bench.

Aldama (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Aldana hasn't played since Dec. 13 due to right calf soreness but will be active Friday. He could have a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence.

Aldama is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Kings due to right calf soreness.

Aldama enjoyed a six-game run of double-digit minutes off the Memphis bench from Nov. 26 through Dec. 6, but he since appears to have fallen out of head coach Taylor Jenkins' rotation. He went unused in two of the Grizzles' past four contests, and one of his appearances during that stretch came in garbage time of a 35-point win over the 76ers on Monday.

Aldama produced 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 152-79 win over the Thunder.

Aldama played out of his skin Thursday, recording easily the best game of his career. The Grizzlies took care of business to the tune of 73 points, the largest winning margin in NBA history. That is all you need to know when analyzing this performance by Aldama. The production was very nice but clearly, there is nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective.

Aldama produced 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and four blocks during Tuesday's 106-100 win over the Legends.

Aldama was fantastic on both sides of the ball, earning a double-double and causing seven turnovers. The first-round pick has been a key piece in the team's two wins, and will likely be a consistent contributor on this starting five.

Aldama produced 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), ten rebounds, and one assists in Sunday's 110-106 win over Ciudad De Mexico.

Aldama played 27 minutes en route to a double-double in the Hustle's win. However, he had five turnovers and needs to work on protecting the ball better.
