Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's battle against the Utah Jazz. Due to ankle soreness, Edey was unavailable on Monday against the Phoenix Suns and initially carried a questionable tag leading into Wednesday. Edey has gone through plenty of growing pains during his rookie year, but he is averaging nearly a double-double for the month. Over five March appearances, the 22-year-old has notched 10.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (concussion) is ready to return from a two-game absence after being upgraded from questionable to available for Friday night's game against the Kings. Brandon Clarke (calf) was also sidelined for the last two games and will also return serving as Edey's primary backup. Edey will be back in the lineup after starting five straight games and averaging 11.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.4 minutes per game. During that stretch, he had a massive 21-point, 16-rebound double-double against the Raptors, and he's starting to really show his upside as an NBA center. Now that he's cleared, the rookie can be re-inserted into your lineup as normal on Friday night.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey has missed the last two games in the NBA concussion protocol, but he could return on Friday when Memphis is in Sacramento. Brandon Clarke (calf) also missed the last game and is questionable for Friday. If either one of Edey or Clarke returns, Edey will be in a great spot with a big workload available against the Kings. And if both are back, Edey will likely remain the stronger fantasy play. Edey started each of the last five games before getting injured and averaged 11.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.4 minutes per game. He had a massive 21-point, 16-rebound double-double against the Raptors during that stretch and will be in a good place to continue his strong rookie campaign if he's cleared to return on Friday. If he's out, Edey's next chance to return will be Saturday in Golden State.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (concussion) will remain out on Tuesday versus Phoenix. He has yet to clear concussion protocol, sitting out a second straight game. Health issues have taken out several Grizzlies bigs recently, meaning Jay Huff could get a second look as a starter. He settled for only six points and three rebounds in his first career start on Nov. 13 against the Lakers. However, his playing time was limited in the contest, and it's likely Huff will get a much bigger workload on Tuesday.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) is headed for his 12th consecutive missed game as he's considered doubtful to play on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The rookie big man has been battling an ankle sprain since November 17 and there isn't a firm timetable for his return. The fact that he hasn't been ruled out right away is at least a trend in the right direction. Jay Huff should continue to see extra minutes off of the bench. Over the last three games, Huff has averaged 12.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 2.3 threes per game.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against Dallas, marking an eighth consecutive absence for him. The rookie giant is recovering from a left ankle sprain. Brandon Clarke will likely receive another start on Tuesday. It's a good matchup for him, as the Mavericks have struggled to stop big men this season, giving up the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing fives.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Indiana. The rookie big man will be absent for a seventh straight contest due to an ankle sprain. Before going down, Edey started the season well, averaging 11.1 points and 6.9 rebounds in 20.1 minutes. Brandon Clarke has been starting during his absence, posting numbers similar to Edey's. Across the past six games, Clark has notched 9.3 points and 7.1 boards. Indiana owns one of the lowest rebounding rates in the league, giving Clark a chance to have more success on the glass.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) suffered an injury during Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. Since then, Edey underwent imaging that looked promising, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. However, the rookie center is currently being listed as week-to-week by the organization. That's a shame considering Edey was putting together a promising start to his rookie campaign. The loss of Edey means more playing time for Jay Huff, Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama in the rotation going forward. Between the trio, Aldama might be the best streaming choice given he's scored double digits in four of his last six games.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The rookie center suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's game, so Edey missing Tuesday's contest isn't a shocker. It's worth noting that the Grizzlies play back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday. That means fantasy managers might not see Edey back on the court until Saturday versus the Chicago Bulls. Jay Huff has been playing minutes in the teens, so he should see an increase in minutes going forward. He's a decent shooter from beyond the arc, but Huff doesn't offer much value outside of that. Brandon Clarke should see an uptick in minutes as well and is the better fantasy option between the two.
Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) exited Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. With Nikola Jokic (personal) out, it was a perfect opportunity for Memphis to take advance. Unfortunately, the rookie lasted only 14 minutes in this one, exiting because of a sprained left ankle and would finish the contest with seven points, seven rebounds, and two blocks. Edey has played well enough in his inaugural year, averaging 11.5 points and 6.9 rebounds. He's also shot 66.7% from behind the arc. However, Edey's health was a big concern for fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign, so the team may need to play if safe when the Nuggets and Grizzlies do it again on Tuesday night. If the 22-year-old isn't out there, Jay Huff will likely see more minutes behind Brandon Clarke and be worth starting in any fantasy format.
