Why Zach Edey Is Poised for a Breakout in Memphis
Zach Edey played just 11 games for the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2025-26 season before a second left ankle surgery ended his year. In those appearances he averaged 13.6 points on 63.3 percent shooting, 11.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 25.8 minutes per game. After offseason procedures to stabilize his ankle ligaments and address a subsequent bone stress reaction, the 24-year-old center enters 2026-27 healthy for the first time since his dominant final season at Purdue.
