| Mon Mar 16 | 08:23 | Santi Aldama Set for Season-Ending Knee Procedure |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will undergo a season-ending arthroscopic procedure to address lingering right knee discomfort after missing extended time down the stretch. The 25-year-old enjoyed a career year, producing 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes across 43 appearances. Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks should continue seeing expanded roles, with Prosper recently scoring 17 points with three three-pointers in 22 minutes and Hendricks adding five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 30 minutes. Both profile as deep-league streamers, while GG Jackson II (foot) could also factor in once healthy. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 19:52 | Santi Aldama Now Ruled Out Tuesday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) won't play on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after all. Prior to tip-off, the team upgraded his status from questionable to available, and Aldama was even expected to start. However, he has now been ruled out. With Aldama remaining on the shelf for an 11th consecutive game, GG Jackson II and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to carry a heavy workload in the frontcourt. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 19:42 | Santi Aldama Available Versus Timberwolves |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will return to action on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been on the shelf for a month while managing a right knee injury. Aldama has played an important role for the Grizzlies, averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes this season. However, his workload may be limited on Tuesday after missing several weeks, and it would be surprising to see him play on Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back against Portland. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 08:27 | Santi Aldama Questionable Tuesday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's action against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spanish big man is managing a right knee injury and hasn't played since January, missing 16 of the last 18 games. GG Jackson II and Olivier-Maxence Prosper have benefited from the Grizzlies' lack of depth in the frontcourt. Aldama's return could affect the playing time of both players, though it looks almost certain he will play with a minutes restriction initially after missing so much time. |

| Mon Feb 23 | 07:55 | Santi Aldama Sidelined Again Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Monday's matchup against the Kings, marking his seventh straight absence due to right knee injury management. His next chance to return is Wednesday versus Golden State. With Aldama sidelined, GG Jackson II erupted for 28 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 26 minutes off the bench last game and remains the top fantasy beneficiary. Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks continue to see steady minutes, but Jackson profiles as the strongest short-term add across standard formats. |

| Thu Feb 19 | 19:35 | Santi Aldama Sidelined Again on Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) remains out for Friday's meeting with Utah. He has been battling a nagging knee injury, costing him the previous four games leading up to the All-Star break. It appears he might be back on Saturday in Miami. However, while Aldama is out of commission, Kyle Anderson will likely handle things in the middle to begin the game. Olivier-Maxence Prosper, coming off 14-point, five-rebound effort in the loss to the Denver Nuggets ahead of the All-Star break, remains in line for additional minutes and scoring chances, especially with so many names listed on the injury report for the Grizzlies. |

| Wed Feb 11 | 07:19 | Santi Aldama Won't Play Against Nuggets |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will remain out on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. The Spaniard has played in only two of Memphis' last 11 games, missing time due to right knee injury management. With Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale gone, the Grizzlies are very thin in the frontcourt and haven't had a traditional big man in the rotation. Kyle Anderson has served as the starting center, averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks over two games since rejoining the team. |

| Mon Feb 9 | 06:51 | Santi Aldama Out Again Monday Against Warriors |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will remain sidelined Monday against Golden State, marking a third straight absence as he continues to manage a right knee issue. Memphis is short-handed up front, keeping rotation minutes available. Kyle Anderson filled the void last game with 11 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper delivered a spike performance with 25 points, five rebounds, and seven three-pointers in 25 minutes. Both remain volatile fantasy plays, but opportunity should persist as long as Aldama is out. |

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) is at risk of missing a fifth consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings.

Memphis also didn't have Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) on Saturday against Minnesota, leaving the frontcourt short of bodies.

On Saturday, Jackson II was among Memphis' best performers with 19 points, four rebounds, and five assists. |

| Mon Jan 26 | 19:32 | Santi Aldama Back in Action on Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (knee) will play on Monday versus the Houston Rockets after missing the last three games because of soreness. The Grizzlies are hurting, with Ja Morant (elbow), Zach Edey (ankle), and Jock Landale (personal), among others, all unavailable. As such, fantasy managers could see Aldama surpass his statistical averages of 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists despite a relatively challenging matchup on the horizon. That's also assuming he's healthy enough to log a full workload. |

| Sun Jan 25 | 08:05 | Santi Aldama Remains Out Sunday Against Denver |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will sit out Sunday against Denver, marking his third straight absence and keeping his status uncertain for Monday in Houston. His continued absence has opened steady frontcourt minutes, with Jock Landale capitalizing as the primary beneficiary. Landale delivered 24 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 32 minutes on Friday and has remained productive with expanded usage. GG Jackson II, Vince Williams Jr., and John Konchar continue to absorb secondary minutes, though their fantasy value stays matchup dependent. |

| Thu Jan 22 | 20:27 | Santi Aldama Won't Play Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will miss Friday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Spanish veteran is experiencing right knee soreness, forcing him to skip a second consecutive game. Following Aldama's exit from the lineup, John Konchar started in Wednesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Unfortunately, he had a quiet evening with two points in 21 minutes. GG Jackson II also logged 21 minutes as a member of the second unit, contributing nine points, two rebounds, one assist, and two blocks. Both players could have expanded roles again on Friday night, though neither looks like a reliable fantasy option. |

| Sat Jan 17 | 20:01 | Santi Aldama Questionable for Sunday's Matchup |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. The Spaniard could be absent for the first time this season due to a right calf contusion. While Aldama has made eight consecutive appearances as a reserve, he often plays 30-plus minutes, meaning his absence would leave a notable gap in the rotation. GG Jackson II and John Konchar could take on extra minutes on Sunday if Aldama doesn't play. |

| Wed Jan 7 | 19:25 | Santi Aldama Cleared to Play on Wednesday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) will play on Wednesday against Phoenix. The 24-year-old is coming off a rough showing in Tuesday's narrow win over the San Antonio Spurs, amassing 10 points, shooting 3-for-10 from the field and 1-for-6 from downtown. However, with Ja Morant (calf), Cedric Coward (ankle), and Vince Williams Jr. (knee), Aldama has an excellent chance of turning things around, assuming his ankle cooperates. |

| Sun Jan 4 | 21:13 | Santi Aldama Available on Sunday Evening |
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Lakers. The 24-year-old is having the best season of his career. He most recently had 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists when these clubs met on Friday night. With that said, Aldama could be in line for an uptick in statistical contributions in Sunday's rematch, considering Ja Morant (calf) is ruled out. |

| Thu Nov 20 2025 | 19:51 | Jaren Jackson Jr. Out Against Sacramento, Santi Aldama Starting |
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. |

| Sun Nov 9 2025 | 08:05 | Santi Aldama Questionable Sunday with Shoulder Soreness |
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. |

| Wed Oct 29 2025 | 21:38 | Santi Aldama Available Versus Phoenix |
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. |

| Wed Oct 29 2025 | 10:02 | Santi Aldama Iffy for Wednesday's Action |
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. |
