Tue Apr 15 | 09:28 | Santi Aldama Returns To Grizzlies Lineup Tuesday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) has received the green light to play on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. The Spaniard missed Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks due to an ankle issue. However, Aldama's name is not listed on the injury report on Tuesday. Although Aldama had a quiet finish to the regular season, it has overall been a successful campaign for him. Some of Aldama's best performances have come against the Warriors, as he averaged 14.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in 23.7 minutes against them during the regular season. |

Wed Mar 19 | 21:35 | Santi Aldama Available Following Six-Game Absence |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has recovered from a right calf strain, which kept Aldama sidelined for six consecutive games. With Aldama back, Brandon Clarke's workload will likely drop. The Spanish big man has been one of the best bench contributors in the Association this season, averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Portland is known for giving up a lot of bench points -- the fourth-most in the league -- which puts Aldama in a good position to enjoy a productive comeback on Wednesday night. |

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Sacramento Kings.

Fri Mar 7 | 19:26 | Santi Aldama Good To Go Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) will play in Friday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. He was at risk of missing a third consecutive game after Memphis initially listed him as questionable on the injury report.

Fri Mar 7 | 14:09 | Santi Aldama Tagged As Questionable On Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (calf) has a chance to return from a two-game absence after being listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a calf strain after dropping a double-double on March 1 against the San Antonio Spurs. Over those couple of games that Aldama missed, Vince Williams Jr. and Brandon Clarke saw some added opportunities. Williams joined the starting lineup and posted 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal against the Thunder. Clarke, on the other hand, registered 13 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Both can be considered strong streaming options. |

Wed Mar 5 | 20:20 | Santi Aldama Sidelined Wednesday Against The Thunder |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (calf) will not be able to play through his questionable tag in Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City, leaving the Grizzlies especially short-handed at forward. Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) was already out, so Aldama's absence will leave even more work for Brandon Clarke, GG Jackson II, and Vince Williams Jr. alongside Zach Edey, who could also be forced to play more minutes with both Jackson and Aldama out. |

Tue Mar 4 | 22:15 | Santi Aldama Questionable On Wednesday Night |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (calf) is questionable heading into Wednesday's game against OKC. The 24-year-old has a sore calf and wasn't available for Monday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) week-to-week after suffering a sprained ankle versus the Hawks, Aldama may move into the starting lineup. He's played well in his 12 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 12.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. But if Aldama is ruled out, Brandon Clarke, coming off an 11-point, seven-rebound, one-block effort, will likely slide into the four spot, with GG Jackson II coming in for relief. |

Mon Mar 3 | 19:22 | Santi Aldama Will Not Play On Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He landed on the injury report late with a right calf soreness and has been downgraded from questionable to out. Aldama has been among the league's most productive bench performers and started the last game against the San Antonio Spurs. With him out, Memphis will have a significant gap to fill. Brandon Clarke and GG Jackson II may feature more in the rotation, though they are far from must-have fantasy options. |

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (illness) will return from a two-game absence on Monday against the New York Knicks. He has missed a pair of games due to an illness, but Memphis has upgraded him from questionable to available. Aldama will work as a reserve big off the bench behind Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey. He has limited fantasy value, with the entire Grizzlies frontcourt healthy. |

Mon Jan 27 | 12:31 | Santi Aldama May Return On Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the New York Knicks after missing the team's last two contests. The Spaniard has a bit more competition for minutes since the team has gotten healthier, but h's carved out a role that sees around 24 minutes per game. If he's forced to remain on the sidelines, GG Jackson II has been a rising fantasy candidate as he gets some more minutes, and Zach Edey continues to deliver some strong big-man stats for category leagues like he did on Saturday with 19 points, seven rebounds, four blocks, and two steals. |

Sat Jan 25 | 19:57 | Santi Aldama Will Not Play Against Jazz |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (illness) will not suit up for Saturday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. An illness will keep the Spaniard sidelined for a second consecutive game. Memphis also remains without the services of Jake LaRavia (back), opening up additional opportunities on the frontcourt for the likes of Brandon Clarke and GG Jackson II. The two played well off the bench in Friday's 139-126 win over the New Orleans Pelicans and could also make noise against Utah's fragile defense. |

Fri Jan 24 | 19:08 | Santi Aldama Unavailable Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (illness) will come out of the lineup for Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Spaniard exited Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets early due to an illness and still isn't feeling well enough to play. It remains uncertain whether Aldama will recover quickly enough to be available on Saturday against the Utah Jazz. With Aldama out, Brandon Clarke, Jay Huff, and GG Jackson II will provide frontcourt depth. However, these three players have not delivered consistent fantasy value in 2024-25. |

Thu Jan 9 | 19:43 | Santi Aldama Will Return On Thursday Night |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (ankle) will play on Thursday night against the Rockets. He's had the best year of his career in 2024-25, averaging 13.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting 38.8% from behind the arc. The 24-year-old missed the previous six games because of a sprained left ankle. However, with Ja Morant (shoulder), Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh), and Desmond Bane (ankle) all available, Aldama could have trouble getting involved at a high level on the offensive end. Still, his presence will likely result in less work for Jake LaRavia. |

Thu Jan 9 | 11:49 | Santi Aldama Questionable Thursday Against The Rockets |
Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. Aldama is currently dealing with a left ankle sprain and has been sidelined for a while, but the Grizzlies have upgraded him to questionable for their game on Thursday. The injury has kept Aldama off the court since December 26 but it looks like he has a decent chance of returning to the court on Thursday. Otherwise, his next chance to play would be Saturday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. If he's out against the Houston Rockets, it will mean more work for Jaylen Wells and Brandon Clarke. |

Mon Dec 30 2024 | 20:23 | Santi Aldama Will Continue To Sit On Tuesday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) will sit out a third consecutive game on Tuesday against Phoenix. The team considers Aldama week-to-week, so it might take some time before he's back on the court. Zach Edey (concussion) and Brandon Clarke (calf) also won't play on Tuesday, which should give Jay Huff an important role in the rotation. Colin Castleton will likely also get some additional work. |

Fri Dec 27 2024 | 19:38 | Santi Aldama Absent On Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) will not be available against New Orleans on Friday. He injured his left ankle in Thursday's blowout win over Toronto. Aldama's role in the rotation has been significantly smaller recently, but he's still averaged over 22 minutes coming off the bench this month. Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke should get an uptick in minutes on Friday. The two have posted similar numbers across the season, though LaRavia has slightly more fantasy value due to his better passing ability. |

Thu Oct 31 2024 | 20:02 | Santi Aldama, Jaylen Wells Starting On Thursday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama and small forward Jaylen Wells will join the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Milwaukee. The duo replaces Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), who were injured in Wednesday's 119-106 loss to Brooklyn. Aldama will make his fourth start of the campaign, while Wells joins the first unit for the first time in his young career. In his previous three starts, Aldama has averaged 13.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.0 blocks. The injuries to Smart and Bane will likely also result in increased usage for Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. |

Thu Apr 11 2024 | 20:28 | Santi Aldama To Miss Fridayâs Game |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (foot) will not play in Friday's contest versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He will miss his sixth straight game because of a right foot strain. Aldama last took the court on April 1 against the Detroit Pistons. The Grizzlies are not in playoff contention, so there is no need to rush Aldama back onto the court. Memphis will continue to finish the season with a depleted roster. Brandon Clarke (hand) is also out for Friday's game, so expect Trey Jemison to lead the frontcourt again after playing 36 minutes last game. |
