Logs 28 minutes with thin rotation Caldwell-Pope ended with 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 130-122 loss to the Wizards.

Impact The Grizzlies were short-handed with only nine players, so Caldwell-Pope had an enhanced role in the loss. The veteran logged a double-digit scoring total for the 12th time this season, but his secondary numbers were slightly below his usual totals. Caldwell-Pope entered Saturday's game averaging 7.6 points, 3.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 27 games.

Logs first double-double in return Spencer posted 19 points (7-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 130-122 loss to Washington.

Impact Spencer reclaimed the fill-in role for Ja Morant (ankle) after a one-game absence and hit the double-double milestone for the first time this season. Spencer's usage should remain high with Morant and Vince Williams (knee) sidelined, but both players may return in time for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder.

DECEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Scores career-high 37 points Aldama finished with 37 points (15-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 130-122 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Brandon Clarke's (calf) exit in the first quarter and an ineffective beginning for Jaylen Wells hastened Aldama's entrance into the game, and he took full advantage of his opportunity with the best scoring performance of his career. The fifth-year pro also recorded his third double-double of the season during the loss. During his fifth season with the Grizzlies, Aldama is on pace to set career highs in minutes, points, rebounds, assists and steals.

Doubtful to return Clarke is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right calf soreness.

Impact Clarke picked up the calf injury in the first quarter of Saturday's contest, and he's unlikely to return. It was just his second game of the campaign after being sidelined while rehabbing from an offseason knee surgery. While he's sidelined, Santi Aldama and Jock Landale could see additional minutes.

DECEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Spencer is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Spencer will return from a one-game absence for personal reasons in time to make his second start of the campaign. With Ja Morant (ankle) and Vince Williams (knee) sidelined, Spencer should see plenty of ball-handling duties Saturday. Spencer has scored in double figures in 10 straight games, averaging 16.9 points, 5.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 25.6 minutes.

DECEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Aldama will return to the second unit with Cam Spencer active, so Aldama's minutes will likely be reduced to the mid-20s Saturday evening. As a reserve this season, Aldama owns averages of 12.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 triples and 1.0 steals per game.
