Aldama, a 6-foot-11 forward, was acquired by Memphis in the 2021 NBA Draft with the 30th overall pick. He has worked his way into one of the team's best scorers in a reserve role.
He averaged a career-high 12.5 points and 6.4 rebounds in the 2024-25 season.
Memphis is losing 3-point shooting after Desmond Bane was traded, and Luke Kennard reportedly will sign with the Atlanta Hawks. That made bringing back Aldama even more important.
He shot 37.5% on 3-pointers last season, making two per game.

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested this week after reported altercation with boyfriend at Seattle airport
Team USA sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested on Sunday after reportedly getting into a fight with her boyfriend at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to a police report obtained by multiple media outlets. Richardson was charged with domestic violence, but the case has since been cleared. According to the report from the Port of Seattle Police Department, Richardson got into an argument with her boyfriend, fellow U.S. sprinter Christian Coleman, and began shoving him. Police also said that Richardson threw a pair of headphones at Coleman, per USA Today. Police arrested Richardson for fourth-degree domestic violence assault as a result of security camera footage of the incident. Richardson was booked in South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Wash., on Sunday evening, according to jail records. She was released on Monday afternoon. Richardson and Coleman went public with their relationship in February, though Coleman reportedly told police that the two have been together for two years. Per the report, Coleman refused to press charges and "declined to be a victim," via The Athletic. USA Track and Field said in a statement to USA Today that the organization was aware of the reports, but did not provide any additional comment. Richardson competed in the USA Track and Field championships in Eugene, Oregon, running in the first round of the women's 100-meter race on Thursday. With a time of 11.07 seconds, Richardson qualified in 11th place, but she has since withdrawn from the competition. She also pulled out of the 200-meter race, where she was scheduled to run this weekend. Because she's the reigning world champion in the 100, she automatically qualifies for September's World Championships in Tokyo in the event.

2025 PFL 8 video: Frederik Dupras puts Nathan Kelly to sleep as referee misses tap
Frederik Dupras, take a bow. At 2025 PFL World Tournament 8, the French-Canadian bounced back into the win column when he defeated Nathan Kelly by technical submission via guillotine choke. The fight was stopped at 4:38 of Round 2 at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. A tight guillotine choke began standing as Dupras (9-2) hopped up on Kelly (11-5) and locked in his grip. As the two eventually fell to the canvas, Kelly tapped, but the referee was not in position to see it. So Kelly's neck was squeezed for a few seconds longer before the official recognized consciousness no longer was present. Dupras bounces back from an April loss to Gabriel Braga. Ireland's Kelly finds himself on a three-fight skid. Up-to-the-minute 2025 PFL 8 results include: Frederik Dupras def. Nathan Kelly via submission (guillotine choke) – Round 2, 4:38 Sarek Shields def. Nick Meck via TKO (doctor stoppage) – Round 1, 5:00 Tom Pagliarulo def.
