Santi Aldama News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Questionable against New Orleans Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans.

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

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

Impact 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. Aldama will have just one day to rest up before the Grizzlies take on New Orleans on Saturday.

Scores double figures off bench 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.

Impact 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.

Turns in neat shooting line 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.

Impact 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.

Crafty double-double in win 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.

Impact 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.

Jones' career-high 28 points lead Grizzlies past Heat 101-93

Tyus Jones had a career-high 28 points and 10 assists to lead the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies a 101-93 victory over Miami Heat

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • Associated Press

Gets chance with first unit Aldama is starting Monday's game against Miami.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid rebounding effort 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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bit of everything in win 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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • Associated Press

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet night despite spot start 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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Balanced performance to lead bench 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.

Impact Aldama recorded 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.

NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

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

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Locks in from three 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.

Impact 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.
