Santi Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Aldama is still waiting to make his Mavericks’ debut, and that could happen on Wednesday. His role in the team’s frontcourt rotation is still unclear, so fantasy managers don’t need to rely on Aldama yet.

Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Rockets.

Unfortunately, Aldama’s Mavericks debut will have to wait for at least one more game. His continued absence won’t significantly affect Dallas’ rotation, since it’s unclear where he’ll fit. During his pregame availability, Mavericks head coach Dusty May said that Aldama is “very close” to making his debut after getting in a few practices with the Mavericks’ G League affiliate.

Santi Aldama (knee) has been ruled out against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Aldama’s season debut will have to wait at least one more game, but the combination of him being listed as doubtful ahead of this one and being assigned to the G League for a practice is a good indication that his return isn’t far off.

Santi Aldama (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder.

Aldama has yet to make his Mavericks’ debut, and that may not change on Wednesday. However, the doubtful tag is a step in the right direction for the 7-footer, who was assigned to the Mavericks’ G League affiliate earlier Tuesday.

NBA Insider Marc Stein reports that Santi Aldama was assigned to the Texas Legends of the G League to practice with the team as part of his return-to-play protocol.

Aldama underwent knee surgery in March and has yet to make his Mavericks debut, but his assignment to Dallas’ G League affiliate is an encouraging update to his status moving forward.

Santi Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Aldama underwent surgery in March, but reports from August indicated he would be ready for training camp. Well, opening night is here, and he still isn’t ready to go. It’s unclear how long he’ll be sidelined, though rookie Morez Johnson Jr. may be tasked with a larger role.

Mavericks reporter Grant Afseth reports that Santi Aldama (knee) is not expected to play in Wednesday’s opener against the Rockets, but he is “getting very close.”

Aldama is still recovering from March knee surgery, and it will cost him at least the first game of the 2026-27 season. Aldama’s absence should free up more playing time for rookie Morez Johnson Jr.
