Santi Aldama Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) won't play on Thursday versus Sacramento. He tweaked his ankle during the recent loss to the San Antonio Spurs, resulting in his first absence of the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers are certainly hoping he'll be back on the floor for Saturday's game in Dallas. However, as far as Thursday's contest is concerned, Santi Aldama will make his first start of the year. Aldama is averaging 12.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season, although he should be more productive as a member of the starting lineup, especially with Ja Morant (calf) sidelined.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (left shoulder soreness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder after playing in all 10 games so far this season. Aldama has quietly been a steady presence for Memphis, averaging 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 25 minutes per game with an improving outside shot. If he's unable to play, expect Jaren Jackson Jr. to take on a larger role in the frontcourt, while Vince Williams Jr. could see added minutes in the rotation. With Jock Landale already filling the starting center spot, Aldama's absence would mostly thin out Memphis' forward depth. Fantasy managers should monitor updates, as Aldama's versatility and consistent stat lines make him a strong streaming or back-end roster option in standard formats when active.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (shoulder) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Aldama was listed as questionable due to left shoulder soreness putting his status in doubt. The 24-year-old forward has played every game for Memphis so far this season, and he has a larger role after the team lost a couple of relevant players in the offseason. Aldama is averaging 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 22 minutes per game. The Grizzlies need him to help the depth, especially in games where former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. gets into foul trouble. Phoenix allows the third most points in the league this season to give Aldama a chance at one of his best statistical performances now that he's active.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (shoulder) is listed as questionable for a meeting with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. The Spaniard is dealing with left shoulder soreness, and his absence would leave Memphis without a solid bench contributor. Over the first four games of the season, Aldama has averaged 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 21.8 minutes. With Zach Edey (ankle) out, Jock Landale has begun the year as Memphis' starting center, and he may have to take on an even larger role in the frontcourt if Aldama has to miss time.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama finished Spain's 67-63 loss to Italy at EuroBasket with a double-double on Tuesday, scoring a game-high 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Both marks were team-highs, and Aldama also led Spain with four assists. He shot 6-for-13 from the field, including 2-for-6 from three-point range. On the defensive end, Aldama contributed one steal and one block. Spain, which won its fourth EuroBasket title in 2022, is struggling in this year's edition, but Aldama has been a consistent performer. The 24-year-old has averaged 14.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 22.3 minutes. Aldama's role on the Grizzlies squad has grown with each year, along with his fantasy stock, and he looks set to remain a solid option for managers in 2025-26.

The Memphis Grizzlies have reached a new deal with forward Santi Aldama on Monday. According to Shams Charania, Aldama has agreed to a three-year, $52.5 million deal with the Grizzlies. It appears the Grizzlies are using the offseason to re-sign their own players. Aldama posted a career-best 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 25.5 minutes per game across 65 games in Memphis last season. He spent most of his time as a reserve, but could move into the starting five with Zach Edey (ankle) unlikely to be ready to start the season. Aldama isn't an elite fantasy contributor, but could sneak his way onto rosters depending on the format.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama received a qualifying offer from the organization on Sunday. The Grizzlies have tendered a one-year, $5.94 million qualifying offer to Aldama. That being said, Aldama will enter free agency as a restricted free agent. He's coming off the best season of his career, so there could be some interest in free agency. He averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists across 25.5 minutes per game in 65 contests. He's a reliable contributor that could be a useful reserve option on a number of teams.

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.

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. He was initially deemed doubtful for the game, so it was always likely that Aldama would miss a sixth consecutive contest. His next chance to return will be on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Brandon Clarke and Lamar Stevens carry a heavier workload with Aldama absent from the lineup.
