Santi Aldama

Edey is having surgery to resolve ongoing discomfort and talar bone stress in his left ankle. The 23-year-old previously had ankle surgery last June to address the lateral joint. Edey is expected to make a full recovery, according to the Grizzlies, though he's currently without a timetable for return. Santi Aldama should be rostered in most formats with Edey out for the foreseeable future.

While Coward has been out since just before the All-Star break, Aldama has appeared in one game since January 26. Their absences mean that players like Taylor Hendricks, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will continue to play extended minutes.

A starter in eight of Memphis' last nine games, Jackson has been one of the Grizzlies' most reliable fantasy options since the trade deadline. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided seventh-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. With it being unknown when, or if, Santi Aldama and Zach Edey will return from their injuries, now would be a good time to add Jackson if he's sitting on the waiver wire.
