Edey's (ankle, elbow) role becomes more intriguing following Memphis' addition of Cameron Boozer with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The young center has shown encouraging development during his first two seasons and still projects to receive significant frontcourt minutes. However, Memphis now possesses additional depth in the frontcourt, creating some uncertainty regarding lineup combinations. Injuries have limited Edey to 66 regular-season appearances through two years, so his health is a far bigger concern.
