Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Strong showing off bench
Aldama finished Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.
Aldama moved back to the bench with the return of Desmond Bane to the starting lineup, but that hasn't prevented the Spaniard from putting up solid numbers every time he's on the hardwood. Even though the move back to the second unit will limit his upside considerably, Aldama continues to contribute enough to remain valuable in most formats. He's averaging 12.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game while starting in seven of his 10 appearances since the beginning of November.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Slides back to bench Sunday
Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
With Desmond Bane (oblique) having made his return to game action in Friday's loss to Golden State, he will now replace Aldama in the starting five. The 23-year-old forward has carved out a significant role with the Grizzlies, averaging 12.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 29.0 minutes per game in 13 regular-season outings (11 starts).

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Excellent two-way play Wednesday
Aldama registered 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers.
Aldama is making the most of Desmond Bane's absence due to an oblique injury, and he continues to deliver excellent two-way numbers every time he steps on the court. Aldama has scored in double digits while grabbing at least five rebounds in five games in a row, and he's averaging 12.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in six November appearances.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Solid output in win
Aldama notched 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over the Wizards.
Aldama is benefiting from the absence of Desmond Bane (oblique) to handle a bigger role on offense, and he's making the most of the opportunity, similar to what he did in 2023-24. Aldama has started in each of Memphis' last five games, a span in which he's averaging 12.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals per contest.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Posts double-double
Aldama amassed 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 131-114 victory over the Lakers.
Aldama got another start with Desmond Bane (oblique) sidelined, and the Spaniard continues to do what he does best -- rack up stats and fill the boxscore any time he gets decent minutes. Aldama has scored in double digits in five of his seven starts this season, and he's putting up 12.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.6 blocks per game when running with the first unit.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Starting after all
Aldama is in the Grizzlies' starting five for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Jake LaRavia was initially announced to take Aldama's spot in the starting five for Saturday's game, but the Grizzlies have changed course and will keep the latter with the starters. Aldama will make his fifth start of the regular season alongside Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Not starting Saturday
Aldama won't start Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Aldama posted 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in 33 minutes as a starter during Thurday's 122-99 win over the Bucks, which was his fourth start through six regular-season games this season. However, he'll shift to the bench Saturday, making room for Jake LaRavia. Aldama's had mixed results in his two games off the bench this season. On Oct. 30 versus Brooklyn, he scored two points and grabbed three rebounds in 22 minutes during a loss. On Oct. 26 versus Orlando, Aldama posted 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a block in 28 minutes during a win.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Near double-double vs. Bucks
Aldama ended Thursday's 122-99 win over Milwaukee with 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes.
Aldama was inserted back into the Grizzlies' starting lineup Thursday due to injuries to Desmond Bane (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle). Aldama took advantage of the opportunity as he was one rebound shy of registering his second double-double of the regular season and was Memphis' second-leading scorer behind Ja Morant (26). As a starter, Aldama is averaging 14.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 30.5 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Back with first unit
Aldama is starting Thursday night's game against the Bucks.
Aldama will make his fourth start of the season while a good chunk of the Memphis roster works to get healthy. He put together a strong showing in his last start Monday against the Bulls, finishing with 11 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Returning to bench Wednesday
Aldama will join the second unit for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Posts double-double
Aldama accumulated 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to the Bulls.
Aldama didn't have his best shooting performance Monday, but the lack of efficiency is secondary given how good he looked on both ends of the court. Aldama finished just three assists away from recording a triple-double, and even though he's expected to head back to a bench role when Ja Morant (thigh) returns, Aldama should remain valuable in fantasy as long as he sees enough minutes due to his ability to contribute in multiple ways.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Back in starting five Monday
Aldama will enter the starting lineup in Monday's matchup against the Bulls.
With Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane starting in the backcourt sans Ja Morant (thigh), Aldama will start at small forward. The 23-year-old has carved out a significant role with Memphis this season, and through three regular-season games he is averaging 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor across 27.0 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Tallies team-high 22 points
Aldama closed with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one block over 28 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 win over the Magic.
The 23-year-old scored a team-high 22 points while leading all scorers in the game besides Franz Wagner (23). Aldama has carved out a significant role with Memphis, and he even started the first two games when Jaren Jackson was out due to a hamstring injury. Aldama moved back to the bench Saturday, though it didn't prevent him from proving he could be a key depth piece for the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Not starting Saturday
Aldama is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Aldama heads to the bench due to the return of Jaren Jackson, who missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury. However, Aldama should see consistent minutes off the bench given how good he looked when given extended playing time.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Leads team in scoring
Aldama posted 27 points (10-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-124 win over Utah.
Aldama got the starting nod in Memphis' regular-season opener with Jaren Jackson (hamstring) out. Aldama repaid coach Taylor Jenkins' faith by leading the team in scoring during Wednesday's narrow victory. Aldama shot 34.9 percent on 5.0 three-point attempts per contest last season and is more than capable of providing spacing for Ja Morant to attack the rim.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Likely to start in opener
Aldama is expected to start in place of Jaren Jackson (hamstring) at power forward in Wednesday's season opener versus the Jazz, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Jackson has been tending to what head coach Taylor Jenkins has referred to as a "low-grade hamstring strain" since the Grizzlies' first preseason practice, and though the standout big man is progressing well, he'll need to take part in more 5-on-5 work this week until Memphis signs off on him making his debut. With Jackson out for Wednesday and likely Friday against the Rockets in the front end of a back-to-back set, Aldama looks to be the next man up to join the second unit. Aldama should provide the Grizzlies with a floor-stretching element in the frontcourt next to rookie center Zach Edey, while Brandon Clarke should be the first big man off the bench and could serve as the top backup at both power forward and center. Aldama could have a fairly clear path to a 25-plus-minute role while Jackson is sidelined, but look for Aldama's playing time to tail off considerably once Jackson is ready to make his 2024-25 debut.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Strong finish to preseason
Aldama logged 19 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Friday's 114-109 preseason loss to Miami.
Aldama co-led the Grizzlies in scoring Friday with Desmond Bane, and Aldama tied with Zach Edey for second-most rebounds behind Ja Morant (eight). Aldama saw an extended look during the preseason while Jaren Jackson (hamstring) was sidelined, and the former could start in some games during the 2024-25 regular season if the latter is unable to play.
