Santi Aldama's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (foot) will miss another game on Friday after getting ruled out due to right foot soreness. At this part of the season, the Grizzlies are ready to call it a year and get a top pick to add to their young core. Aldama has been in and out of the lineup over the last few games, so his inconsistent playing time isn't helping any fantasy teams that are still playing. GG Jackson II, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jake LaRavia have been the best streaming options in the Grizzlies' frontcourt.
