Zach Edey (Memphis Grizzlies)
Injury earlier this week; surgery planned soon
Grizzlies center Zach Edey re-sprained his left ankle during offseason training and will undergo surgery. The All-Rookie first-team pick is expected to miss the start of the 2025–26 season but will fully recover.
The surgery aims to restabilize an ankle that caused missed time during the season. Despite injury setbacks, Edey led all rookies in FG% and rebounds, logging 12 double-doubles and finishing 5th in Rookie of the Year voting.
