Santi Aldama Out for Grizzlies with Ankle Injury
Santi Aldama is dealing with a left ankle injury and will not play for the Memphis Grizzlies. The injury was reported on December 26, 2024, and has kept him out of action since. This is a setback for the team as they navigate through the season without one of their key players.
What It Means
Aldama’s absence impacts the Grizzlies significantly. He has been averaging 13 points per game this season, along with 7.3 rebounds and 3 assists. His shooting percentages are solid, with a field goal percentage of 50.8% and three-point shooting at 38.8%. These stats show how important he is to the team’s performance.
With Aldama out, the Grizzlies will need to rely more on other players in his position. Brandon Clarke is likely to see increased minutes as he steps up in Aldama’s absence. Clarke averages 18.3 minutes per game and scores about 7.4 points per game. The team will hope that Clarke can help fill the gap left by Aldama until he returns from his injury.
