Santi Aldama News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Serviceable effort in win 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.

Impact 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.

Solid numbers in Wednesday's win 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 Philadelphi...

Impact 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.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 21 points in OT loss 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.

Impact 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.

Poor shooting display Wednesday 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Continues quiet play 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Aldama (tailbone) is out for Sunday's game against Boston.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Just misses double-double 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Miami Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Heat.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Strong blocks production in return 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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.
