Santi Aldama News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Downgraded to out Aldama is out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to right knee injury management.

Impact Aldama was initially cleared to take the court Tuesday, but Memphis has since downgraded him to out less than 30 minutes before tipoff. Olivier-Maxence Prosper should remain in the starting lineup with Aldama set to miss at least one additional matchup.

Good to go Tuesday Aldama (knee) will play Tuesday against Minnesota.

Impact The team reported shortly before tipoff that Aldama was trending in the right direction, and he's since been given the green light to suit up for the first time since Feb. 4. It's unclear whether the Grizzlies will elect to slot him right back into the starting lineup, or if they'll take a more conservative approach by deploying him off the bench considering his somewhat lengthy absence.

Tracking towards playing Tuesday Aldama (knee) is trending towards playing in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact It sounds like Aldama is on the right side of the questionable designation, putting him on track to finish a 10-game absence due to right knee injury management. Olivier-Maxence Propser appears to be in line to revert back to the bench, though it's realistic to anticipate Aldama facing a minutes restriction in his first contest back from a lengthy layoff.

Questionable for Tuesday Aldama is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to right knee injury management.

Impact The questionable tag is certainly a step in the right direction for Aldama, who is aiming to return from a 10-game absence Tuesday. If the 2021 first-rounder is finally able to suit up, his return would likely put a slight damper on the recent rise streaming in streaming appeal for Taylor Hendricks and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Ruled out Sunday Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Aldama is still managing a right knee injury and will miss a 10th consecutive contest Sunday. He has appeared in just one game dating back to Jan. 28. With the 25-year-old big man remaining on the shelf, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks will likely continue seeing increased minutes. Aldama's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Minnesota.

Another absence coming Aldama (knee) is out for Saturday's game against Portland.

Impact Aldama will be sidelined for a second straight contest. The Grizzlies won't be playing for much down the stretch as they focus on their rebuild, so it will be interesting to see if maintenance days become a common theme.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Friday Aldama is out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right knee injury management.

Impact Aldama will get a rest day Friday after logging 24 minutes Wednesday against the Kings. It's not clear whether Kyle Anderson or Taylor Hendricks will be available after being acquired from the Jazz on Tuesday, but there will be plenty of minutes in the frontcourt to go around if the newcomers are cleared to suit up.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in limited action Aldama (knee) logged 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 win over the Kings.

Impact Aldama faced a minutes limit in his return from a four-game absence due to right knee injury management, but he was able to make the most of his playing time. Now that both Jaren Jackson and Jock Landale are out of the frontcourt picture, a big role at center is in store for Aldama down the stretch once he has his restrictions loosened. Aldama has averaged 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.2 minutes per contest in his last six games.

Available, on minutes restriction Aldama is available to play in Wednesday's game against Sacramento, but he'll play fewer minutes than normal, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Aldama will return from a four-game absence due to a right knee injury, but he'll have his minutes monitored. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 28.0 minutes per game this season, and it's unclear exactly how much he'll play Wednesday. Regardless, Aldama should have a high usage rate given the absence of Jaren Jackson (recently traded) and Ja Morant (elbow).

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Aldama is in danger of missing a fifth straight game while dealing with a right knee injury. He'll presumably have an opportunity to prove his health in shootaround and warmups before the team provides another update on his status for Wednesday.
