Iffy for Wednesday
Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Aldama is in danger of missing a fifth straight game while dealing with a right knee injury. He'll presumably have an opportunity to prove his health in shootaround and warmups before the team provides another update on his status for Wednesday.

Sitting out Monday
Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Aldama will miss his fourth straight game while tending to a right knee injury. His continued absence should keep additional frontcourt opportunities available for Vince Williams and Jock Landale. Aldama's next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Kings.

Won't play Saturday
Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Aldama will miss a third consecutive game (and fifth in six games) while managing a right knee injury, and his next chance to play is Monday in a rematch against Minnesota. Jock Landale should remain in the Grizzlies' starting five for as long as Aldama is sidelined.

Ruled out for Friday
Aldama (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Aldama will miss a second straight game after picking up a right knee injury. Jock Landale entered the starting five in Aldama's place Wednesday and should be in position to do so again Friday.

Late scratch Wednesday
Aldama (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Aldama was an extremely late addition to the injury report due to right knee soreness and won't suit up Wednesday. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against New Orleans. With Aldama out, Jock Landale, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson are candidates for increased minutes.
January 29, 2026
Not starting Wednesday
Aldama won't start against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Analysis
With Jock Landale back in the starting five after a one-game absence due to personal reasons, Aldama will retreat to the second unit. Over seven appearances off the bench so far this month, the 25-year-old big man has averaged 13.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 28.4 minutes per tilt.
