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

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Miami. The Spaniard couldn't finish Monday's contest against Toronto due to right knee soreness and will be kept out of the lineup Wednesday with the same issue. Xavier Tillman Sr. will likely move back into the starting unit without Aldama, while GG Jackson and David Roddy could get some extra work. Tillman Sr. has posted 7.7 points and 6.4 rebounds in 12 starts this season. He will likely have a tough time against elite defender Bam Adebayo on Wednesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama couldn't complete Monday's game against Toronto due to right knee soreness. He contributed 10 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal as a starter in 23 minutes. Aldama remained in the starting unit despite Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) being available again. The latter had two points and four rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench. Tillman Sr. didn't do too well on Monday, but he will be the likeliest man to cover for Aldama if the Spaniard needs to take some time off.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (knee) isn't expected to play in Tuesday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. The 22-year-old has averaged a career-high 10.4 points and 5.5 rebounds this season. However, he's battled various ailments, including an ankle injury that kept him out to begin the 2023-24 campaign. Under normal circumstances, Aldama's potential absence wouldn't mean much to fantasy managers. But with Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) questionable, Aldama could see enough minutes to make him relevant. At any rate, if both players are ruled out, David Roddy, Xavier Tillman Sr., and Bismack Biyombo could handle nearly all of the minutes underneath the basket.
