According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies will be without their young center due to him requiring surgery to re-stabilize his left ankle.
Zach Edey re-sprained his ankle during an offseason workout, which has forced him to make the tough decision to get surgery performed on that ankle.
With the timing of everything, reports are coming out that he will miss the beginning of next season.
“After consulting with the Grizzlies and multiple specialists, we decided this is the best approach for Zach long-term as it gets him back to 100% with no limitations,” Edey’s agent Mark Bartelstein said. “He will make a full recovery and be back better than ever.”
Last season, Edey averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.
