Will undergo ankle surgery Edey re-sprained his left ankle in an offseason workout and will undergo surgery to re-stabilize the ankle, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact 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.

Sets franchise record at rim Edey posted eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and seven blocks over 33 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the...

Impact It's the most blocks ever in a single playoff game by a Grizzlies rookie, and just two off the NBA rookie record set by Manute Bol in 1986. Edey had a strong finish to the regular season on the glass, averaging 10.6 points, 15.3 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over his first eight contests in April, and his defensive performance Saturday with the team's season on the line offers plenty of hope that he could take a big step forward as a sophomore in 2025-26.

Impact Edey recorded single-digit points for the third consecutive game, though he was efficient during Thursday's loss. The rookie big man is averaging 5.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.6 percent from the floor across 25.3 minutes per game during the first round. Edey and the Grizzlies will look to avoid elimination during Saturday's Game 4 in Memphis.

Impact Outside of Jaren Jackson's performance in Game 2, Memphis hasn't gotten much out of their frontcourt in this series. In his first two playoff appearances, Edey has averaged a mere 4.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks on 50.0 percent shooting in 23.0 minutes per contest. It wouldn't be a surprise to see some rotation changes for Game 3.

Impact Edey had a quiet outing offensively in Sunday's Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs, but lead the way on the glass by pacing all Grizzlies in rebounds and finishing one board shy of the double-digit mark. Edey was strong on the boards for Memphis during the regular season, hauling in nine or more rebounds in 29 contests. Look for Edey to continue to be a big part of the Grizzlies' effort to try and control the glass against a talented Thunder squad.

Another double-double Friday 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.

Impact 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 straight 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.
