Grizzlies’ Zach Edey to have surgery after re-spraining ankle

Memphis Grizzlies centre Zach Edey has re-sprained his left ankle in an off-season workout, the team confirmed on Saturday.

Edey will undergo surgery to re-stabilize the ankle and likely miss the beginning of the 2025-26 NBA season.

The Toronto native appeared in 66 games this season, averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and one assist per game while shooting 58 per cent from the floor.

He was out at different times this season because of an ankle injury.

“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 per cent per cent with no limitations,” Edey’s agent Mark Bartelstein told ESPN.

Edey joined San Antonio’s Stephon Castle and Atlanta’s Zaccharie Risacher as the only players to appear on all 100 ballots for the NBA’s All-Rookie Team. Castle won the award.
