Aldama's TS% is up 4.8 points over his last 25 games of the season (59.3% vs 54.5%). Most of it is shot-making: his TS% was 2.7 points above what his shot spots predict (0.9 points below before), with Ja Morant out. Partly real: about 55% should hold.

Day-To-DayCoach Dusty May said Thursday that Aldama is getting "much, much closer" to returning but doesn't expect him to play against the Hawks. Although the forward appears to be making progress, his availability for the beginning of the regular season remains uncertain. Dallas could continue leaning on its other frontcourt options until Aldama is cleared to return. Expected back: 2026-10-16.
