Mavericks' Santi Aldama: Uncertain for regular-season opener
Aldama (knee) remains without a timetable to return, and head coach Dusty May said he "doesn't know yet" if the forward will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Houston, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Aldama underwent right knee surgery in March and is in jeopardy of missing time to begin the regular season. He can be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's contest until further notice. If the 25-year-old is ultimately ruled out, Morez Johnson and Caleb Martin could see increased burn.

Although the forward appears to be making progress, his availability for the beginning of the regular season remains uncertain.

Mavericks' Santi Aldama: Limited during Saturday's practice
Aldama (undisclosed) was limited during Saturday's practice, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reported.
Head coach Dusty May didn't elaborate, only stating Aldama is dealing with a "nagging injury." The 2021 No. 30 overall pick had spent his entire career in Memphis before being traded to Dallas in July of 2026. In 278 regular-season games, including 82 starts, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 23.4 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Santi Aldama: Could be ready for camp
Aldama (knee) is expected to be ready in time for training camp, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.
Aldama's 2025-26 campaign was cut short due to a right knee injury, which resulted in an arthroscopic procedure in mid-March. The Mavericks start practice prior to Sept. 29 because they have preseason games abroad, and it sounds like Aldama could have a good chance of featuring in those. However, Aldama will not be playing for Spain during the European qualifying for the 2027 World Cup at the end of August, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com.

Mavericks' Santi Aldama: Sent to Dallas
The Grizzlies traded Aldama (knee) to the Mavericks on Wednesday in exchange for AJ Johnson, a protected 2030 Warriors first-round pick and two second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After spending the first five years of his career with Memphis, Aldama will head to Dallas, where he figures to provide frontcourt depth while competing for playing time with Morez Johnson and Daniel Gafford. Aldama's 2025-26 campaign was cut short due to a right knee injury, and he underwent an arthroscopic procedure in mid-March. Over 43 regular-season games (11 starts) last season, he averaged a career-high 14.0 points along with 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Decreased role likely?
Aldama (knee) may face increased competition for minutes after the Grizzlies drafted Cameron Boozer with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The versatile forward has established himself as a valuable rotation player because of his floor spacing and offensive versatility, but Memphis' crowded frontcourt could lead to fluctuating opportunities. In addition to Boozer, the Grizzlies also selected Karim Lopez in the first round. Aldama's ultimate role may depend on potential offseason roster moves.
