On Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies released an announcement regarding the status of several players on the injury report. The veteran center Zach Edey landed an unfortunate update recently.
According to the Grizzlies, the young veteran center is expected to miss at least six more weeks of action.
“Zach Edey continues to recover from a stress reaction in his left ankle initially diagnosed on December 11,” the announcement said.
“Based on the unanimous recommendation of consulting experts, Edey will continue on his current plan of offloading and rehabilitation, with a reevaluation to follow in approximately six weeks.”
Edey missed the first 13 games of the 2025-2026 NBA season for the Grizzlies. After he debuted on November 15, the center played in 11-straight games. His 21-minute showing against the Portland Trail Blazers on December 7 was his final appearance before going out with his recent ailment.
Considering Edey won’t get an opportunity to ramp up for nearly two months, he could be looking at a return no earlier than March, which is a major blow for the second-year center.
Before going down with his injury, Edey posted averages of 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
Beyond Edey, the Grizzlies will also continue to be without Brandon Clarke and Scotty Pippen Jr. for several weeks, the team revealed.
