Zach Edey is currently recovering from a left ankle injury, an issue he underwent surgery for in June. The Memphis Grizzlies announced that he is expected to be sidelined for six to nine weeks. While Edey has started participating in basketball activities, he has not yet returned to game action. However, if his recovery continues to progress positively, he could rejoin the team in November.
As of now, Edey has not played any games for the Grizzlies this season and remains listed as out on the team’s official injury reports. His absence has left a gap in the center position, particularly affecting the team’s ability to secure rebounds in recent matches. Edey’s size and rebounding capabilities, showcased during his impressive rookie season where he played 66 games and earned All-Rookie honors, are sorely missed.
Following his surgery, Edey has been on a structured recovery plan, with doctors clearing him for increased basketball workouts in late September. Regular re-evaluations will determine his readiness to return, and if all goes well, he may be able to suit up for games in early to mid-November.
The Grizzlies, facing injuries to other players as well, are feeling the strain of Edey’s absence. His return is eagerly anticipated not just for his skills, but also for the boost it could give the team as they navigate a challenging season. For the latest information on Edey’s recovery, updates from the Memphis Grizzlies’ official channels will provide the most current insight.
