Santi Aldama Out for Grizzlies with Ankle Injury
Santi Aldama is currently dealing with a left-ankle sprain and will not be playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. The injury has kept him off the court since December 26, 2024. He was listed as questionable initially but has been ruled out for recent games, including their upcoming matchup.
What It Means
This injury is a setback for both Santi Aldama and the Memphis Grizzlies. Aldama has been contributing an average of 13 points per game this season, making him a key player in their lineup. His shooting accuracy stands at 50.8% from the field and 38.8% from beyond the arc.
The team will need to rely on other players to fill the gap left by his absence. Brandon Clarke may see more minutes as he ranks third in power forward depth, averaging 18.3 minutes per game and scoring 7.3 points per game. The Grizzlies will face the Oklahoma City Thunder next on December 29th, without Aldama’s presence on the court.
