Top Zach Edey News

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Productive off bench in return

    Edey (ankle) 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 was back in action after missing the Grizzlies' last 12 games with a left ankle sprain, and though he came off the bench, he saw more minutes than starter Brandon Clarke (13) and fellow backup center Jay Huff (six minutes). While his playing time may remain somewhat volatile overall due to matchups, if Edey can routinely approach the 24 minutes he received Saturday, he'll likely be worth holding in most fantasy leagues. The rookie is currently averaging 11.3 points, 7.1 boards, 1.0 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.8 assists in 20.4 minutes per game while shooting 61.9 percent from the field over his 15 appearances.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Making return Sunday

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Upgraded to questionable

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Out again Friday

    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 he appears to be inching toward a return. His next opportunity to return to the court will come Sunday in Los Angeles versus the Lakers.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Doubtful to play Friday

    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 would be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks. However, the doubtful tag suggests his chances of suiting up Friday are slim. Edey hasn't played since Nov. 17.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Likely to miss two more weeks

    Coach Taylor Jenkins said Thursday that the Grizzlies weren't comfortable with where Edey (ankle) is 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 Mempis Hustle -- to get a practice in on Wednesday, though it seemingly did not go according to plan as he's now behind his 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Assigned to G League

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Eyeing return Saturday

    Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Edey (ankle) is progressing well through on-court activity, and he could potentially suit up for Saturday's game 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 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Won't play Sunday

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Nearing return

    Coach Taylor Jenkins said Friday that Edey (ankle) will likely return to action at the end of this week or 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Deemed week-to-week

    Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that imaging on Edey's sprained left ankle was promising, but the rookie center is still being viewed as week-to-week, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    The rookie big man sprained his ankle during the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Nuggets, and he looks set to miss at least all three of the team's games this week while he recovers from the injury. Edey has turned in a promising start to his rookie campaign, averaging 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals across 20.1 minutes in 14 outings. While Edey is sidelined, Brandon Clarke and Jay Huff will likely cover most of the minutes at center.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Won't play Tuesday

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Exits early Sunday

    Edey won't return to Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to a left ankle injury.

    Edey needed assistance to get to the locker room after rolling his ankle in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly thereafter. The rookie center will conclude Sunday's contest with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 14 minutes. Jay Huff and Brandon Clarke will absorb the minutes at center for the remainder of the contest, while Edey's status for Tuesday's rematch with the Nuggets is now in question.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Returns to game Sunday

    Edey (ankle) 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Heads to locker room Sunday

    Edey went to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Nuggets 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Goes back to locker room

    Edey (ankle) was helped to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Nuggets, 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Just misses double-double Friday

    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 contest 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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Four steals off bench in win

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Coming off bench

    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.
