Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Remains out Thursday
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Aldama will miss his 16th straight game Thursday due to right knee injury management. He appeared to be moving closer to a return earlier this month, as the Grizzlies had listed him as questionable ahead of a March 3 game against the Timberwolves and even upgraded him to available for a brief period of time before downgrading him to out 30 minutes prior to opening tip. Since that contest, he hasn't been listed as anything other than out in advance of the Grizzlies' ensuing five games, which suggests he may have experienced a setback in the rehab process. The Grizzlies haven't provided further word on Aldama's status, so he can likely be viewed as doubtful for the second leg of the team's back-to-back set Friday in Detroit.

Rotowire
Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Aldama continues to be sidelined by a right knee injury that has prevented him from playing since Feb. 4 against the Kings. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday against the Sixers, but the fifth-year pro can be considered doubtful for that contest given the lack of a medical update from Memphis.

Rotowire
Aldama is out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to right knee injury management.
Aldama was initially cleared to take the court Tuesday, but Memphis has since downgraded him to out less than 30 minutes before tipoff. Olivier-Maxence Prosper should remain in the starting lineup with Aldama set to miss at least one additional matchup.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) will play Tuesday against Minnesota.
The team reported shortly before tipoff that Aldama was trending in the right direction, and he's since been given the green light to suit up for the first time since Feb. 4. It's unclear whether the Grizzlies will elect to slot him right back into the starting lineup or if they'll take a more conservative approach by deploying him off the bench considering his somewhat lengthy absence.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Tracking toward playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) is trending toward playing in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
It sounds like Aldama is on the right side of the questionable designation, putting him on track to finish a 10-game absence due to right knee injury management. Olivier-Maxence Prosper appears to be in line to revert to the bench, though it's realistic to anticipate Aldama facing a minutes restriction in his first contest back from a lengthy layoff.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Ruled out Sunday
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Aldama is still managing a right knee injury and will miss a 10th consecutive contest Sunday, but the Grizzlies' decision to upgrade him to doubtful leading up to the matchup with the Pacers would seem to imply that he's progressing. Until Aldama is deemed ready to play, the Grizzlies will continue to lean on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson as their primary options in the frontcourt.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Aldama hasn't played since Feb. 4 and will now miss his eighth straight game due to right knee injury management. Back on Feb. 18, Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo told Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal that Aldama wasn't able to return to practice following the All-Star break, but the veteran big man was seen getting some shots up off to the side. Given the lack of updates on his status in addition to the 21-35 Grizzlies' place in the standings, Aldama seems likely to miss additional time beyond Wednesday.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Productive in limited action
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) logged 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 win over the Kings.
Aldama faced a minutes limit in his return from a four-game absence due to right knee injury management, but he was able to make the most of his playing time. Now that both Jaren Jackson and Jock Landale are out of the frontcourt picture, a big role at center is in store for Aldama down the stretch once he has his restrictions loosened. Aldama has averaged 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.2 minutes per contest in his last six games.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Available, on minutes restriction
Rotowire
Aldama is available to play in Wednesday's game against Sacramento, but he'll play fewer minutes than normal, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Aldama will return from a four-game absence due to a right knee injury, but he'll have his minutes monitored. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 28.0 minutes per game this season, and it's unclear exactly how much he'll play Wednesday. Regardless, he is part of the starting lineup, per Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140, and Aldama should have a high usage rate given the absence of Jaren Jackson (recently traded) and Ja Morant (elbow).

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Not starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Aldama won't start against the Hornets on Wednesday.
With Jock Landale back in the starting five after a one-game absence due to personal reasons, Aldama will retreat to the second unit. Over seven appearances off the bench so far this month, the 25-year-old big man has averaged 13.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 28.4 minutes per tilt.

Rotowire
Aldama (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Aldama, which could result in another start for John Konchar and extended minutes for Vince Williams and GG Jackson. Aldama's next chance to play will come Sunday versus the Nuggets, but with that game being the first of a back-to-back set, Aldama is likely doubtful for that one.
