Aldama was forced to exit Wednesday's win over Charlotte after playing 19 minutes off the bench. The good news for Memphis is that they have depth, which will help account for Aldama's absence if he doesn't play on Friday. Brandon Clarke, Jay Huff, and GG Jackson can absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Aldama.
Aldama had to leave Wednesday's game due to illness. He played 19 minutes off the bench and finished with two points (1-of-7 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one blocked shot. If Aldama misses time beyond Wednesday, fellow reserve Jay Huff may play a few more minutes, but only if Jake LaRavia (back) remains out.
Huff has been upgraded from probable to available, giving Taylor Jenkins another option off the bench. However, he was available for Monday's loss to the Rockets but did not play. Fantasy managers in most leagues don't need to roster Huff.
While Huff was cleared to play in Monday's loss to the Rockets, he picked up a DNP-CD. Even if he's available for Wednesday's game, there's no guarantee Huff sees action. He should not be rostered in fantasy leagues.
As expected, Huff will be good to go after initially being listed as probable for this game. With their other post players healthy, he won't play enough to impact fantasy basketball.
