Zach Edey Injury News & Updates

Edey fouled out of Sunday's 119-96 win over the Trail Blazers after recording 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes.

Edey is already up to five double-doubles in just 11 outings amid a dominant start in 2025-26, and he even tied a season high in dimes. The 2024 first-rounder is certainly off and running after a delayed start to the season due to offseason ankle surgery, averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 assists in 25.8 minutes per game while shooting 63.3 percent from the field.

Edey finished Tuesday's 126-119 loss to the Spurs with 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.

It was another dominant display on the glass for Edey, who grabbed seven of his game-high 15 rebounds in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss. The second-year center has grabbed at least 15 boards in four straight games and five times over his last six outings. Since making his regular-season debut in mid-November after fully recovering from offseason right ankle surgery, Edey is averaging 14.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 2.1 blocks and 0.8 steals over 25.9 minutes per game.

Edey totaled 32 points (16-20 FG, 0-1 FT), 17 rebounds and five blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win over the Kings.

Edey played the best game of his young career Sunday, racking up career highs in scoring and blocks. Edey also continued his dominant play on the glass, grabbing a game-high 17 boards and extending his streak of games with at least 15 rebounds to three. Over those three games, he is averaging 19.3 points, 17.0 rebounds and 3.3 blocks in 32 minutes per contest.

Edey finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, three blocks and two assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 112-107 win over the Clippers.

Although Edey had a muted impact in the scoring column, he grabbed a game- and season-high 19 rebounds. He also swatted a game-best three shots. The second-year center has tallied at least 15 boards in each of his last three completed games, dominating on the glass during that stretch. Through seven regular-season appearances, he's averaging 11.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Edey amassed 21 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 133-128 overtime win over the Pelicans.

It's the second double-double in the last three games for Edey, and he played only six minutes in the third after taking a blow to the head. The second-year center appears to be rounding into form after missing the first three weeks of the season with an ankle injury. Through six contests since making his season debut, Edey is averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 boards, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes while shooting 62.8 percent from the floor.

Edey (head) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Edey had been leaning toward playing, and he'll wind up playing. The second-year center had been averaging 12.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals across 25.3 minutes per game before departing Monday's game early due to a head injury.

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Edey (head) is "trending toward playing" Wednesday against New Orleans, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Edey suffered the injury during Monday's game and was initially labeled questionable for Friday night's contest. Now, he's leaning toward probable for the contest. He had logged 25 or 26 minutes in all four of his appearances before Monday.

Edey is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a migraine.

Edey exited Monday's loss to the Nuggets in the first quarter due to the head issue and didn't return. Now, he's in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's contest after suiting up in each of the Grizzlies' last five games. If the second-year center is ultimately ruled out, Jock Landale and Santi Aldama are candidates for increased roles.

Edey (head) didn't return to Monday's 125-115 loss to the Nuggets.

Edey checked out of the game in the first quarter and was labeled as doubtful to return shortly thereafter. He ultimately never checked back in and finished with two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound across six minutes. If the big man is unable to return for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Santi Aldama and Jock Landale are candidates for increased roles.

Edey is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Nuggets due to a head injury, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey checked out of Monday's game with 6:19 remaining in the first quarter and is now unlikely to return. If the second-year center is unable to check back in, Santi Aldama and Jock Landale are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.

Edey ended with 12 points (2-3 FG, 8-8 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 102-96 win over Dallas.

Despite foul trouble, Edey delivered another dominant performance, recording his first double-double of the season. He has looked great since returning from offseason ankle surgery, averaging 12.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.0 blocks in his four appearances.

Edey finished Thursday's 137-96 win over the Kings with 16 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes.

Edey continues to work his way back from an injury, and these have been his first three games of the campaign. Edey had a solid showing, but his long-term role remains uncertain. The second-big man should remain a key cog for Memphis due to his ability to thrive on both ends of the court.

Edey registered 13 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 25 minutes during Saturday's 108-100 loss to the Cavaliers.

Edey made his season debut, moving straight into the starting lineup in place of Jock Landale. Despite having missed the entire season to this point, Edey didn't miss a beat, producing on both ends of the floor. Considering he saw 25 minutes right out of the gate, it wouldn't be surprising to see him push to 30 minutes sooner rather than later. Make sure he isn't somehow available in your league.

Edey (ankle) will start against the Cavaliers on Saturday.

Edey has the green light to make his season debut after recovering from offseason ankle injury. He will immediately start next to Jaren Jackson, moving Jock Landale to a bench role. Edey could be a solid pickup in fantasy formats for managers in need of rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage.

Edey (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Edey is still recovering from an offseason right ankle surgery, but Saturday's game marks the first time he's been listed as questionable this season. He carried a doubtful tag in Memphis' previous game and had been listed exclusively as out before. While he appears to have a legitimate chance at playing Saturday, Edey would likely be under a significant minutes restriction if active.

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Edey (ankle) is trending in the right direction but won't play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Daniel Donabedian of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Edey has yet to make his season debut as he recovers from left ankle surgery he underwent in June, though he appears to be nearing a return to game action. The second-year center has joined the club's G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, for practice multiple times, and his next chance to suit up for the parent club will come Saturday against the Cavaliers.

Edey (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Although Edey is not expected to play against Boston, it's worth noting that this is his first doubtful tag of the campaign -- this usually indicates that a return is around the corner. With Memphis in need of frontcourt help, this is a good chance for fantasy managers to go ahead and stash the center.

Edey (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Edey has been practicing in the G League as he works his way through offseason ankle surgery, but his season debut will have to wait until Wednesday in Boston at the earliest. It's unclear if the 2024 first-rounder is traveling with the team on their four-game road trip, though. Jock Landale should remain a worthy streaming candidate at center against New York.

Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Edey continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery, but he has not progressed enough to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut, and his next opportunity to do so is Tuesday against the Knicks. Jock Landale will remain in the Grizzlies' starting lineup for as long as Edey is out of action.

The Grizzlies assigned Edey (ankle) to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Friday.

The Grizzlies plan on recalling Edey following the Hustle's practice session. The second-year big man won't play in Friday's game against Dallas, but he appears to be on the verge of making his season debut ahead of Sunday's clash with the Thunder.

Edey (ankle), who was recalled from the G League's Memphis Hustle to the Grizzlies on Wednesday, is out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Edey has been getting some practice reps with the G League club as he enters the final stages of his offseason ankle surgery. The second-year big man is closing in on a return, which could come as soon as Sunday's showdown with the Thunder. Until Edey is good to go, Jock Landale should continue to start at center while Charles Bassey holds down the backup role.

Memphis assigned Edey to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Wednesday.

This is another rehab assignment for Edey as he continues to inch closer to a return. Jock Landale will continue to hold down the fort in the meantime.

The Grizzlies recalled Edey (ankle), who has already been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit, from the G League's Memphis Hustle on Monday.

Edey has yet to make his season debut after undergoing left ankle surgery in June, though he appears to be nearing a return to game action after joining the Hustle for practice. The second-year center's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Rockets.

The Grizzlies assigned Edey (ankle) to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Monday, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Edey is briefly heading to the G League affiliate to get some practice reps, an encouraging sign following his offseason ankle surgery. It sounds like the second-year big man has a chance to return to the court at some point in early November. Edey's eventual presence will almost certainly force Jock Landale into a bench role.

Edey has been cleared to begin ramping up basketball activities and is expected to return to play in six to nine weeks.

Edey underwent surgery to address laxity in his left ankle on June 7. He'll likely get back on the floor at some point in November if all goes well, which is good news for Memphis, who also have Brandon Clarke (knee), Cedric Coward (shoulder) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) on the mend.

Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Edey will be held out of the Grizzlies' regular-season finale due to an ankle injury, but it shouldn't impact his availability for the Play-In Tournament if Memphis doesn't finish in the top-six of the Western Conference standings. With Edey, Jaren Jackson (back) and Santi Aldama (ankle) all out Sunday, Jay Huff and Marvin Bagley will serve as the Grizzlies' top big men.

Edey is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to left ankle soreness.

The Grizzlies have already locked up a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so there's no point in risking some of their regular rotation members. This is particularly noteworthy with Edey, who has a frame that needs to be taken care of due to his size. The doubtful tag suggests Edey might not play, though. If he ends up being ruled out, then Jay Huff, Marvin Bagley and Lamar Stevens could be in line to see more minutes in the frontcourt.

Edey racked up eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to Denver.

Edey continues to dominate the glass, hauling down at least 16 rebounds for the third time in the past four games. His role had solidified following a season-ending knee injury to Brandon Clarke. Edey has now played at least 28 minutes in six consecutive games, serving as more of a typical starting center.

Edey amassed 17 points (7-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-100 victory over the Hornets.

Edey has been a glass-crashing machine as of late, averaging 17.3 boards per contest across his last four outings. The rookie big man isn't quite a consistent double-double threat due to his inconsistent scoring output, but he was Memphis' third-leading scorer Tuesday. Edey has also blocked at least one shot in each of his last seven appearances.

Edey registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 21 rebounds, six assists and one block over 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over the Pistons.

Edey was a beast on the glass, putting down a career-high 21 rebounds. Although his offensive game continues to fall short of the mark, his rebounding numbers have elevated of late. In his past four games, Edey is averaging 13.0 rebounds per game, which includes a two-rebound performance during a loss to Boston.

Edey contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 134-125 loss to Golden State.

Edey recorded a double-double for the second time across his last three starts, and the rookie big man continues to show he can be an imposing presence on the defensive end, either on the glass or as a rim protector. The offensive game is slowly coming around, but there's no question Edey has improved drastically since the start of the season, even if his numbers don't tell the whole story. The rookie is averaging 9.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game since the All-Star break.

Edey accumulated 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 134-127 loss to the Lakers.

Edey made his return to the starting five on Saturday, recording his 10th double-double over 59 regular-season appearances. The 23-year-old also tallied a game-high three blocks, marking his fifth outing with multiple swats this month. Over his last five outings (two starts), the rookie first-round pick has averaged 10.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks across 18.4 minutes per contest.

Edey will start Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Edey will replace Santi Aldama in the first unit with the Grizzlies looking to shake things up after a blowout loss to the Thunder. As a starter this season, Edey holds averages of 8.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Edey accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 victory over the Jazz.

Although Jay Huff got the first crack at absorbing Jaren Jackson's missing production, Edey took over and contributed seven points in the fourth quarter. Although Edey has been relegated to backup duty, he has the ability to rack up rebounds quickly when given the opportunity.

Edey is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The Grizzlies have decided to tweak things in their frontcourt for this game, and Edey will move to a bench role since the starting frontcourt will feature Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson. Edey is averaging 9.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game across 10 appearances in March.

Edey provided six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 loss to Portland.

Edey and Donovan Clingan started opposite each other, summoning memories of last year's NCAA Championship game. Clingan had Edey's number during Wednesday's loss, as foul trouble limited the rookie to only 11 minutes on the floor. Brandon Clarke (knee) went down with an injury during the game, which may require a usage increase from Edey if the injury keeps Clarke out.

Edey (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Edey was sidelined for Monday's win over the Suns due to left ankle soreness, but he's recovered enough to suit up Wednesday. The rookie center out of Purdue has averaged 8.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 22.1 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Edey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.

Edey is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to right ankle soreness. If the rookie big man is ruled out against Utah, Jay Huff could draw another start.

Edey (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.

The rookie big man was listed as questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and the Grizzlies have opted to rule him out to avoid further risks. His next chance to play will come against Utah on Wednesday.

Edey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Edey is battling some soreness in his right ankle. Brandon Clarke (knee) is also questionable, while Jaren Jackson (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf) remain sidelined. GG Jackson may be asked to soak up a ton of minutes Monday.

Edey provided 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Monday's 132-130 loss to the Hawks.

Jaren Jackson left this game early with an ankle sprain, and it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss additional time. If Jackson does end up missing some action, Edey could have a higher floor in fantasy formats. The rookie center has been pretty quiet lately, averaging 7.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over his last 10 games.

Edey won't start Saturday's game against the Spurs.

With Ja Morant (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (hip) out, the Grizzlies will start Scotty Pippen, John Konchar, Jaylen Wells, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson. As a reserve this season (seven games), Edey has averaged 11.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 22.1 minutes per game.

Edey ended Friday's 114-113 loss to the Knicks with 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 24 minutes.

Edey posted his ninth double-double of the season in an efficient outing Friday. Additionally, the rookie big man tied the game-high mark in blocks, recording his 15th outing with multiple swats. Edey has averaged 7.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 20.6 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Edey racked up two points (1-2 FG), six rebounds and two blocks across 12 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over Orlando.

Edey is now on a five-game streak of scoring five points or less, and his 12 minutes were his lowest since Jan. 17 against the Spurs (seven) as the Grizzlies leaned heavily on Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama off the bench. Edey has gone through stretches of low output on the box score, but the rookie first-round pick is capable of logging a double-double on any given night. He'll look to bounce back against Donovan Mitchell and the East-leading Cavaliers on Sunday, who could be without Jarrett Allen (hand) for that game.

Edey will start Sunday's All-Star Game semifinal against Team Shaq, per NBA broadcast.

Edey and Team Rising Stars won the Rising Stars title and advanced to play in Sunday's All-Star Game tournament. Edey holds averages of 9.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per contest over his last six appearances.

Edey registered two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds over 3:48 of playing time during Team C's 25-14 win over Team G League in the finals of the Rising Stars event Friday.

Edey didn't have that much more production in the semifinals against Team T, finishing with four points, two rebounds and one assist over 10:40 of playing time, though he did finish with a plus-10 point differential. With Friday's finals victory, Edey and Team C will take on Team Shaq in the first round of Sunday's All-Star game tournament.

Edey posted 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 128-109 victory over the Spurs.

Edey recorded his seventh double-double of his rookie season in what was one of his best performances despite being matched up with Victor Wembanyama. Edey is slowly trending up with averages of 12.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 blocks in 21.7 minutes over his last five games.

Edey closed with 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 victory over Milwaukee.

Edey lost some playing time down the stretch Sunday to Santi Aldama, but that didn't stop the former from producing his sixth double-double of the season. The rookie first-rounder continues to start for the Grizzlies, but he's yet to reach the 30-minute marker in a game this year. Even so, Edey remains a strong source of swats and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage for fantasy managers in category-based settings.

Edey had 19 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 win over the Jazz.

Edey was coming off a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double in the win over the Pelicans on Friday, but somehow, he was even better in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 19 points were his third-best scoring mark of the campaign, and the four blocks tied his season-best output in that category. The Grizzlies have been very cautious with Edey's workload in his rookie year, but there's no question he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Edey ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 139-126 win over the Pelicans.

Even though the big man was on the wrong end of a poster dunk by Yves Missi, Edey still posted a decent stat line while notching a double-double for the first time since his 21-point, 16-rebound effort against the Raptors on Dec. 26. Edey has started in all but one of his 11 appearances in January, averaging 5.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks across 18.5 minutes per game in that span.

Edey (nose) is not on the injury report and will be available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Edey exited Friday's win over the Spurs after receiving a blow to his nose, but the big man will be fine and should handle his regular workload Monday. Edey is averaging 4.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game in seven contests since returning to the starting lineup on Jan. 4.

Edey (nose) will not return to Friday's game against the Spurs. He finished with four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds and one assist in seven minutes.

Edey took an elbow to the face which drew a lot of blood from his nose. The Grizzlies were quick to rule him out, and the lopsided score in Memphis' favor may have factored into the decision. Santi Aldama had the hot hand off the bench and was likely to close this game anyways.

Edey posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.

Edey's minutes have declined over the past two weeks while Memphis has regained nearly full health. Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.

Edey finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes during Monday's 119-104 win over Dallas.

Edey started for the Grizzlies for a second straight game but didn't see more than 13 minutes on the floor, with Jay Huff taking those minutes during Monday's win against the Mavericks. This could be a telling sign, as the coaching staff could be losing confidence in the Purdue product's ability to make an impact as a starter, especially with Huff's ability to stretch the floor with his outside shooting.

Edey is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Warriors on Saturday.

Edey returned from a two-game absence Friday against the Kings and tallied nine points, seven rebounds and one block across 22 minutes off the bench. He'lll be inserted into the starting lineup Saturday while Brandon Clarke reverts to a reserve role.

Edey (concussion) will be available for Friday's game against the Kings, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey will return following a two-game absence while navigating through the league's concussion protocol, and the rookie big man should recover his place in the starting lineup right away. Edey is averaging 11.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game this season.

Edey (concussion protocol), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings, is progressing well after testing and is expected to return Friday or Saturday against the Warriors, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Edey has missed the club's last two games while going through the league's concussion protocol. The rookie big man has shown concussion-like symptoms, though the club determined that he is dealing with a complex migraine. If Edey remains sidelined, Jay Huff should continue to see a bump in playing time.

Edey (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Edey has missed his squad's last two games while going through the league's concussion protocol, but he has a chance to suit up Friday. The team should have more clarify on his availability following shootaround and pregame warmups.

Edey (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Edey will remain in concussion protocols and miss a second straight game as a result. His next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Kings. Jay Huff is in line to make his second start of the regular season Tuesday due to the absences of Edey and Brandon Clarke (knee).

Edey has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a concussion.

Edey was a late addition to the injury report and appears to have landed in concussion protocols, putting his status for Tuesday's game in Phoenix in jeopardy as well. With Edey and Santi Aldama (ankle) out, Jay Huff and Brandon Clarke are candidates for expanded roles.

Edey closed with 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 155-126 victory over Toronto.

Edey pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds Thursday and co-led the Grizzlies in scoring with Jaren Jackson. It was Edey's fourth double-double of the season, and the rookie out of Purdue is averaging 11.1 points on 59.5 percent shooting, 7.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 blocks over 21.6 minutes per game.

Edey provided three points (1-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Clippers.

Edey couldn't generate much on offense, but made up for it by pulling down a career-high 14 rebounds. The rookie center has so far turned 21.3 minutes per game into 12th-round fantasy value in nine-category formats with averages of 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Edey is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Edey will return to the Grizzlies' starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 6, and he does it after delivering 13 points and 10 rebounds in a loss to the Lakers on Sunday, Dec. 15. The rookie big man is averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in a starting role across nine appearances this season.

Edey contributed 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.

Edey missed just two shots in his 24-minute cameo off the bench Sunday and was a wrecking force on the glass as well. It's fair to say Edey didn't show any rust after a 12-game absence, as this was the first time he stepped on the hardwood since Nov. 17. The rookie notched his third double-double of the season, and if he stays healthy, it should be a matter of time before he recovers the starting center role for Memphis.

Edey (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Edey has missed the last 12 games due to a left ankle sprain, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Considering the amount of time he has missed, it wouldn't be surprising to see Edey on a minute restriction as he returns to form.

Edey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Edey hasn't stepped on the hardwood since Nov. 17, but the questionable tag suggests he might have a shot at returning Sunday following a 12-game absence. Edey has started in nine of his 14 appearances this season, averaging 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

Edey (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Nets.

No surprise here, as Edey was originally deemed doubtful for the contest. The rookie big man has been sidelined since Nov. 17, but appears to be inching towards a return. His next opportunity to return to the court will come Sunday in Los Angeles versus the Lakers.

Edey (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Nets.

The towering big man might be able to return earlier than initially expected, as a Dec. 5 report signaled he was going to be available in a couple of weeks. Either way, the doubtful tag suggests his chances of suiting up Friday are very slim. Edey hasn't played since Nov. 17.

Coach Taylor Jenkins said Thursday that the Grizzlies weren't comfortable with where Edey (ankle) was in his recovery process, and he'll be monitored for a potential return to game action over the next couple of weeks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey is expected to miss more time due to a left ankle sprain, and he hasn't played since Nov. 17. The rookie big man was assigned to the club's G League affiliate -- the Mempiis Hustle -- to get a practice in on Wednesday, though it seemingly did not go according to plan as he's now behind the original schedule for a return to game action. Jay Huff, Santi Aldama and Jake LaRavia should continue seeing an uptick in playing time with Edey sidelined.

The Grizzlies assigned Edey (ankle) to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Wednesday.

Edey will spend the afternoon with the Hustle to get a practice in, and he'll be recalled right after. Edey is targeting a return to NBA action Saturday against the Celtics.

Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Edey (ankle) is progressing well through on-court activity, and he could potentially suit up for Saturday against the Celtics, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Edey will miss Thursday's game against the Kings, though the Grizzlies are optimistic that the big man will make his potential return during their back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday. If he plays Saturday, the rookie will likely remain limited after a nine-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. Through 14 regular-season outings (nine starts), Edey has averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.8 assists across 20.1 minutes per game while shooting 61.0 percent from the floor.

Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Edey is slated to miss his eighth straight game due to a left ankle injury, and his next chance to play will be Thursday against the Kings. Brandon Clarke will remain as the Grizzlies' starting center for Tuesday's NBA Cup contest.

Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Per Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal on Friday, head coach Taylor Jenkins relayed that Edey should return to action in the upcoming week. While Edey won't play Sunday, his next opportunity to play will be against the Mavericks on Tuesday. Brandon Clarke will continue to start at center for the Grizzlies due to Edey's injury.

Coach Taylor Jenkins said Friday that Edey (ankle) will likely return to action early next week, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey will miss his sixth straight contest Friday due to a left ankle injury. However, the rookie big man could suit up as soon as Sunday's game versus the Pacers. Until Edey is able to return, Brandon Clarke should continue to start at center for Memphis.

Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Edey (ankle) went through imaging that looked promising, though he should be considered week-to-week moving forward, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

The rookie big man sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Nuggets, and he is expected to miss at least a week due to the injury. Edey has produced a promising start to his rookie campaign, during which he has averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals across 20.1 minutes in 14 regular-season outings.

Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Edey rolled his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game against Denver, and the rookie big man was diagnosed with a sprained ankle. It's unlikely Edey will be able to suit up for the Grizzlies' second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday against the 76ers. While Edey is sidelined, Jay Huff should see additional playing time off the bench behind starting center Brandon Clarke.

Edey (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Edey needed assistance to get to the locker room after rolling his ankle in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly after that. Edey will conclude Sunday's contest with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 14 minutes of action. Jay Huff will likely be the main beneficiary in Edey's absence, serving as the backup to Brandon Clarke.

Edey (ankle) was helped to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Nuggers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey limped to the locker room in the second quarter, but he was able to return for the start of the third quarter. However, he rolled his ankle in the third quarter and needed assistance back to the Grizzlies' locker room. If Edey is unable to return for the fourth quarter, Jay Huff will see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Edey returned to Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Edey left the game in the second quarter and limped back to the locker room, but he returned to the game in the third quarter. It remains unclear what Edey was dealing with, but his return to action indicates it should not be much of a concern going forward.

Edey went to the locker Sunday with an undisclosed injury, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey left the game midway through the second quarter and went back to the locker room with an apparent limp. The injury remains unclear at this point, so his return is questionable. If he cannot return, Jay Huff will likely see more minutes at center.

Edey chipped in 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench. during Friday's 123-118 loss to Golden State.

The rookie center has looked comfortable since moving to the second unit, and over four games off the bench Edey is averaging 13.0 points, 7.8 boards, 1.8 steals, 1.3 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 23.8 minutes a contests while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor. The defensive production in particular is very encouraging, and Edey has recorded at least one block and one steal in all four of those appearances off the bench.

Edey supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 win over the Trail Blazers.

Edey has scored in double digits off the bench in his last two appearances, but he's also emerged as a reliable defensive presence -- which shouldn't be surprising given his size and defensive instincts. Edey is averaging 13.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game in November.

Edey will play a reserve role in Friday's matchup with the Wizards.

The Grizzlies will opt to go smaller with Brandon Clarke and Jaren Jackson in the frontcourt. As a result, Edey will come off the bench for the first time in his rookie season. He is averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks across 19.1 minutes in nine games this year.

Edey notched 25 points (11-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 29 minutes during Monday's 106-104 loss to the Nets.

Edey made his second three-pointer of the campaign and posted his second straight double-double. He was feeling it tonight and the Grizzlies made a concerted effort to feed him looks, but he also generated his own with five offensive boards. His fantasy arrow is pointed straight up after this breakout performance.

Edey had 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 win over the 76ers.

Edey recorded the first double-double of his career, while also playing at least 22 minutes for the second straight game. Despite starting in all seven games thus far, it's been a struggle for Edey in terms of adjusting to the NBA. However, he does appear to be slowly figuring things out, a welcome sight for anyone still utilizing him on a nightly basis.

Edey totaled 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 loss to the Nets.

Edey tied his personal-best scoring mark in this game. Even though he's scored in double digits in just two of his five contests so far, the rookie seems to be getting more comfortable with each passing game. Excluding his NBA debut in which he fouled out after playing just 15 minutes, Edey is averaging 9.8 points and 4.3 rebounds across a mere 17.0 minutes per game.

Edey (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Edey will play through a sore right calf and likely remain in the starting lineup. However, it hasn't been a great start for the rookie. He's averaging only 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in 16.0 minutes through his first four regular-season appearances.

Edey is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to right calf soreness.

Edey is dealing with a sore calf and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. The big man has started in all four of his regular-season appearances, and he has averaged 7.8 points and 5.0 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per game. However, the 22-year-old has played only 27 total minutes over the last two games, and the Grizzlies have opted for a deep frontcourt rotation with Santi Aldama, Jay Huff, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke all receiving double-digit playing time off the bench.

Edey closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets.

Edey was one rebound shy Friday from registering his first-career NBA double-double as he led the Grizzlies with nine boards, four of which came on the offensive side of the floor. The rookie center out of Purdue managed to put up 10 field-goal attempts, which is a good sign that he'll have his opportunities on offense alongside Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Edey and the Grizzlies will head back home to host Paolo Banchero and the Magic on Saturday.

Edey provided five points (2-4 FG, 1-5 FT) and five rebounds across 15 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 126-124 victory over the Jazz.

There's no question this is not the way Edey would've thought his NBA debut would end up, as the rookie looked outmatched on defense and was unable to use his size to his advantage. He should remain the starting center for the time being and will be given every opportunity to adjust to the pace of the league, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about his forgettable rookie debut.

Edey will start at center in the Grizzlies preseason finale against the Heat.

Edey has been the primary starting center during the exhibition season, Brandon Clarke got the starting nod in Memphis' previous game. The rookie from Purdue has looked like a steal throughout the preseason and projects to start at center once the regular season tips off. He finished with 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes in Monday's 120-116 preseason win over the Pacers.

Edey finished with 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes in Monday's 120-116 preseason win over the Pacers.

The rookie dominated the Pacers in the paint as he effortlessly scored 23 points, tying Desmond Bane's game high. Edey is set to serve as the Grizzlies' starting center alongside Jaren Jackson in the frontcourt, and Edey has made an impact during the preseason while looking like a potential Rookie of the Year candidate. While preseason competition clearly differs from the regular season, the 22-year-old's play thus far bodes well for his role to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Edey won't start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Edey started the first three exhibitions and was solid. On Saturday, he posted 15 points (5-10 FG), eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 22 minutes during a win over the Bulls. It's unclear if Edey is getting a night off or getting a lock as a reserve ahead of the regular season.

Edey registered 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 22 minutes in Saturday's 124-121 preseason win over the Bulls.

Edey has shown glimpses of his talent in the preseason, and while a final decision hasn't been made yet, it seems he'll open the 2024-25 campaign as the starting center due to his two-way impact. If Edey starts, he should plenty of fantasy upside as a young player capable of making his presence felt on both ends of the court.

Edey is projected to be in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

The Grizzlies are expected to roll with Edey, Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and Santi Aldama as their starting five for Monday's preseason opener. Edey tweaked his ankle during the Summer League, but he has been a full participant during training camp.

Edey (ankle) has been a full participant in training camp this week, Matt Infield of Actions News 5 reports.

Edey tweaked his right ankle during the Summer League which shut him down early, but by all accounts, it was a minor issue. There's been no talk of any limitations at camp, and the expectations around Memphis are very high for the rookie. Edey was spotted hitting some three-pointers with ease and looks ready to compete for the starting center role.

Edey (ankle) won't play in Sunday's Summer League semifinal matchup versus the Clippers, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Edey tweaked his right ankle during Thursday's win over the Pelicans. While the issue is expected to be minor, it's unsurprising to see Memphis proceed with caution. Edey, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, may suit up Monday for the Summer League championship if Memphis beats the Clippers on Sunday, but that seems unlikely at this point.

Edey went back to the locker room after tweaking his right ankle during Thursday's exhibition in Las Vegas.

Edey landed on another player's foot after attempting to block his shot and rolled his ankle, although he was able to walk off the court under his own power. That said, he's almost certainly done for Thursday's game and it wouldn't be surprising to see Memphis hold their lottery pick out of the remainder of these exhibition games in Las Vegas. He looked solid while out there, though, hitting all three of his shots on his way to six points, three rebounds and one block over nine minutes.

Edey (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Summer League matchup with New Orleans.

Edey hasn't played since tweaking his ankle at the Salt Lake Summer League, but he'll be making his Las Vegas debut Thursday. He shouldn't have any minutes restrictions and the fact that he's suiting up for an exhibition game tells us his ankle is fine.

Edey (ankle) didn't play in Wednesday's 104-98 win over the Magic but is expected to return before the end of Summer League, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Edey sprained his ankle during Salt Lake City Summer League and hasn't suited up for in a little over one week. The Grizzlies have indicated the injury is minor and they're just being cautious with the ninth overall pick. Still, the expectation is that he'll be back before Summer League ends. Edey's next chance to play will be Thursday against New Orleans.

Edey (ankle) won't play in Monday's Summer League game against the Mavericks, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Edey will miss another contest while tending to an ankle issue, as there's no reason to rush him back into action for Summer League. His next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday against the Magic.

Edey won't play in Friday's Summer League contest against the Kings due to an ankle sprain, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

The big man missed Memphis' final game in the Salt Lake City Summer League and is now set to miss the opener in Las Vegas, but the injury is not expected to have long-term concerns. Edey is expected to return at some point during the Las Vegas circuit, with the Grizzlies' next game being Monday against the Mavericks.

Edey will sit out Wednesday's exhibition due to minor ankle soreness, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

The Grizzlies are wrapping up their time at the Salt Lake Summer League with their third game in as many nights, so Memphis will take some precautions with their lottery pick. He should be back in action for Friday's Summer League game in Las Vegas, though.

Edey tallied 14 points (7-12 FG), 15 rebounds, four blocks and one assist across 34 minutes in Monday's 97-95 overtime loss to the Jazz in the Salt Lake City Summer League.

Edey dominated the glass in an exciting matchup with Walker Kessler, a two-year professional of the NBA. The big man did turn his ankle in the beginning of the third quarter, but he returned to the game shortly after. Edey grabbed boards with ease, and put up four blocks as he patrolled the paint. The 22-year-old also set tough screens, showing a skill that the Grizzlies will look to pair with Ja Morant's explosiveness on the ball. Edey was dominant at Purdue, and in his last season there he averaged 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists in 39 games.

Edey was selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by Memphis.

Edey will provide frontcourt reinforcement for a Grizzlies team that has plenty of question marks outside of Jaren Jackson up front. At 7-foot-4, 300 pounds, Edey possesses the size and strength to be a high-level rebounder and interior defender. He also has surprisingly good touch for a player of his stature, making 71 percent of his attempts from the charity stripe last season at Purdue and hitting finesse shots in the paint with both hands. While his lack of foot speed will make him a target for opposing offenses in the pick-and-roll, Edey could be an excellent per-minute producer for fantasy purposes, whether that's alongside Jackson or off the bench.
