Santi Aldama (DAL): Day-To-Day

Santi Aldama, the Mavericks’ forward who posted averages of 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 47.9% shooting over 43 games, is listed as day‑to‑day after an undisclosed issue limited his participation in Saturday’s practice. The team expects him back by October 1, 2026, but his exact status remains uncertain.

Dallas sits at 26‑56, twelfth in the Western Conference and twenty‑first in the league’s power rankings, with a net rating of –5.4 and a recent stretch of three wins in ten games. Aldama, acquired from Memphis in July, is a potential boost for a squad that is trying to improve its performance. His health and minutes will be key factors to watch as the Mavericks look to stabilize their play and climb the standings.
