Rumors

Before Santi Aldama surged to become a critical part of the Memphis Grizzlies bench, he arrived in Tennessee as a sneaky, under-the-radar first-round draft pick in 2021. The initial reaction from the franchise’s fans sounded something like this: “Aldama?

Then Aldama showed up at FedExForum for the start of training camp.
