Santi Aldama Out Indefinitely for Grizzlies with Ankle Sprain
Santi Aldama of the Memphis Grizzlies is dealing with a left ankle sprain. He will not be playing for the team as he recovers week-to-week. The injury started on December 26, 2024, and has kept him off the court since then.
What It Means
This injury means Santi Aldama will be missing from the Grizzlies lineup for an unknown period. His absence could impact the team’s performance since he averages 13 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game this season. His shooting accuracy is notable at 50.8% field goals and 38.8% from three-point range.
With Aldama out, Brandon Clarke might see more playing time as he ranks third in power forward depth chart behind GG Jackson II who has not played much this season. Clarke averages 18.3 minutes and contributes 7.3 points per game, so his role might expand to fill in for Aldama during his recovery.
