Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Fails to score in 11 minutes
Rotowire
Aldama posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 12 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 loss to the Suns.
Aldama's role continues to shrink, having played fewer than 20 minutes in three straight games. After a red-hot start to the season, he has quickly become an afterthought in fantasy circles, clocking in as the 241st-ranked player over the past month. Should Jaren Jackson miss time at some point, Aldama would be back on the radar as a possible streaming target. Failing that, he can be left for those in deeper formats.

Aldama (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets.
Aldama has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury and was initially deemed questionable for Wednesday.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Nabs questionable tag
Rotowire
Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Aldama was listed as doubtful prior to Sunday's game against the Kings, so his questionable tag Wednesday represents an upgrade in terms of his chances of suiting up. Should Aldama retake the floor, he would presumably slot back into a double-digit minutes bench role in the Grizzlies' frontcourt.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Aldama (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Kings.
Aldama will sit for the second straight night as he continues to deal with a sore ankle. His absence will likely leave 15-to-20 minutes up for grabs, and with Brandon Clarke (hip) and Desmond Bane (toe) also out, rookies David Roddy and Jake LaRavia should be in line for increased action.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Doutbful for Sunday
Rotowire
Aldama (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Aldama already missed Saturday's game and might be in line to sit out the second half of this back-to-back set. If that is the case, then his next chance to play would come Wednesday at Charlotte. The potential absence of Aldama would free up minutes for the likes of Brandon Clarke and possibly Jake LaRavia.

Rotowire
Aldama exited Thursday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle soreness and will not return.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Quiet night despite spot start
Rotowire
Aldama chipped in eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
Aldama replaced Jaren Jackson (injury management) in the starting lineup but failed to capitalize. After a nice start to the season, Aldama has fallen by the wayside when it comes to putting up fantasy value, barely putting up top 150 value over the past week. Outside of sporadic streaming value, he is fine to move on from in competitive formats for now.
