Santi Aldama DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.

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.

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.
