Rotowire
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, making his third straight appearance. Edey had a solid showing on both ends of the court Thursday, but he stood out because he was perfect from the field. Expect Edey to continue playing a solid two-way role for the Grizzlies, and he's solidified himself as the starting center.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Admirable effort in return
Rotowire
Edey (ankle) 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.
After completing his recovery from June surgery on his left ankle, Edey was cleared to make his season debut Saturday and immediately stepped into the starting five, replacing Jock Landale. Edey didn't exhibit any signs of rust in his return, producing on both ends of the floor while seeing solid minutes out of the gate. As he becomes further removed from ankle surgery, Edey could eventually push toward a regular 30-minute role, though foul trouble and certain matchups with floor-spacing centers could occasionally limit his playing time.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Tabbed questionable
Rotowire
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.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
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.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Carrying doubtful tag for Wednesday
Rotowire
Edey (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Although Edey isn't expected to play Wednesday, it's worth noting that he's carrying a doubtful tag for the first time this season. The upgrade in his designation could signal that Edey's 2025-26 debut is around the corner, with the second-year center potentially returning to the floor as soon as Saturday in Cleveland. Once he gets fully ramped up as he works his way back from left ankle surgery, Edey will likely overtake Jock Landale as the Grizzlies' starting center.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Listed out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Edey has been practicing in the G League as he works his way back from 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.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Will undergo ankle surgery
Rotowire
Edey re-sprained his left ankle in an offseason workout and will undergo surgery to re-stabilize the ankle, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Edey is expected to miss the start of the 2025-26 NBA season due to the recovery from surgery on his ankle. The rookie center made quite an impression in his first season with the Grizzlies, as he started 55 of the 66 games he played. The Purdue product averaged close to a double-double during the 2024-25 campaign with 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 58 percent from the field.

Rotowire
Edey closed Sunday's 131-80 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes.
Edey had a quiet outing offensively in Sunday's Game 1, but he led the way on the glass by pacing all Grizzlies in rebounds and finishing one board shy of the double-digit mark.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Another double-double Friday
Rotowire
Edey contributed 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 32 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game win over Dallas.
Edey continues to play his best basketball of the season, recording his second straight double-double. He has now logged at least 30 minutes in five consecutive games, playing typical starters minutes after consistency had been an issue throughout his rookie campaign. With Brandon Clarke (knee) unavailable for the remainder of the season, Edey has been thrust into a more sizeable role. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 10.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 26.4 minutes per game. He should continue to play a crucial role when the Grizzlies take on the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, a team that has the ability to play big, with the likes of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein.

Rotowire
Edey closed Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors with 14 points (4-11 FG, 6-8 FT), 17 rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes.
The rookie center once again dominated the glass. Edey has pulled down at least 16 boards in five of seven appearances since the beginning of April, but Tuesday's game was the first during that stretch in which he didn't record at least one block. Edey will likely need to continue coming up big in the paint Friday as the Grizzlies get one more chance to secure a playoff spot.

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 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.
