The Memphis Grizzlies will begin their season without second-year center Zach Edey, who is recovering from ankle surgery. His absence will be a challenge for the team, as he proved to be a reliable player during his rookie campaign.
The team confirmed that Edey’s recovery is progressing well, and he is expected to return to the court in 6 to 9 weeks.
🤕 Road to Recovery
The Grizzlies announced that Edey had an operation on his left ankle in early June. The procedure was to address some looseness in the joint. His recovery timeline suggests he might miss the first couple of months of the regular season.
💪 Back to Basketball Activities
On a positive note, Edey has officially been cleared to start ramping up his basketball training. This is an encouraging sign and a key step in his journey back to playing in games. The team will be monitoring his progress closely.
⭐ A Strong Rookie Season
In his first year in the NBA, Edey made a solid impression. He played in 66 games, averaging 9.2 points and 8.3 rebounds. His performance showed his potential to become an important part of the Grizzlies’ future plans.
