Santi Aldama News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Starting Sunday Aldama is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Aldama will make his ninth start of the season Sunday -- and first since Dec. 28 -- while Jock Landale reverts to a bench role. As a starter this season, Aldama has averaged 18.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 threes over 32.9 minutes per game.

Good to go vs. Orlando Aldama (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic in London.

Impact Aldama drew the questionable tag for Sunday's contest due to a right calf contusion, but the fifth-year pro has been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups. In seven outings since Jan. 2, Aldama has averaged 13.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 threes over 28.4 minutes per game while operating in a reserve role.

Nursing calf injury Aldama is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic in London, England due to a right calf contusion.

Impact Aldama may have picked up the injury during Memphis' loss to Orlando on Thursday in Berlin, Germany, when he played 30 minutes and registered 18 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal. The fifth-year pro is averaging 28.0 minutes per game this season while primarily coming off the bench, so his absence would likely result in elevated playing time for GG Jackson and Vince Williams.

Hits for 18 from second unit Aldama totaled 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Magic in Berlin.

Impact It was Aldama's best scoring effort since Dec. 23, when he erupted for 37 points in a start against the Jazz. The fifth-year big has produced double-digit points in seven of eight games since returning to the second unit, averaging 13.4 points, 6.9 boards, 3.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.1 blocks in 29.4 minutes over that span.

Three rejections in Sunday's win Aldama racked up 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 103-98 victory over the Nets.

Impact The fifth-year big has multiple blocks in three of the last seven games since shifting back to the second unit, but he failed to record one at all in the other four contests. Over that seven-game stretch, Aldama is averaging 12.7 points, 7.1 boards, 3.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.3 blocks in 29.3 minutes.

Non-factor in loss Aldama recorded seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Aldame had one of his worst performances of the season, logging under 25 minutes for the second straight game. While generally viewed as a must-roster player, Aldama's production over the past two weeks has left a little to be desired. During that time, he has averaged 12.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals and blocks, leaving him outside the top 130 in nine-category leagues.

Cleared to play Wednesday Aldama (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact Aldama popped up on the injury report due to right ankle soreness, but the issue isn't severe enough for the fifth-year pro to miss Wednesday's contest. He has scored in double digits in each of his last seven games (three starts), and over that span he has averaged 16.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over 31.4 minutes per game.

Iffy for Wednesday Aldama is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns with right ankle soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Aldama, and he must've tweaked his ankle Tuesday against the Spurs. During that game, Aldama finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes. If Aldama is unable to play, the Grizzlies may need to lean on some smaller lineups.

Records double-double in bench role Aldama logged 12 points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Aldama made an appearance despite holding an injury tag leading up to the game, and his shift to the second unit allowed Jock Landale to post a decent total with the first unit. Aldama logged 31 minutes, so it appears that his reported ankle injury isn't that serious. Aside from the near-miss, Aldama's attendance record has been perfect. He's appeared in all 35 games this season and was a starter in eight of them.

Will play Sunday Aldama (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Aldama will shed his questionable tag due to right ankle soreness and keep his record of perfect attendance this season alive. Over his last five outings (three starts), the 24-year-old has averaged 18.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.0 minutes per tilt.

Iffy for Sunday Aldama is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers with right ankle soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Aldama, but it sounds like a day-to-day issue for him. He's been solid lately, posting averages of 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.7 three-pointers over his last six games.

Back to bench Tuesday Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Aldama will return to the bench after starting in the Grizzlies' last three games. He's averaging 13.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game when coming off the bench.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double, five swipes in loss Aldama registered 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and five steals over 35 minutes during the Grizzlies' 116-112 loss to the Wizards on Sunday.

Impact It wasn't the most efficient performance from the field Sunday, but Aldama set a career high with five steals and led the Grizzlies with 10 rebounds, en route to his fourth double-double of the season. The fifth-year pro has been inconsistent in December, and over his last 11 outings that has averaged out to 15.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.1 steals over 30.8 minutes per game.
