Zach Edey is on the Memphis Grizzlies’ injury report for their game against the Phoenix Suns.
Coming off a close win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, the Memphis Grizzlies are heading into the second leg of a back-to-back to take on the star-studded Phoenix Suns at home. Monday’s matchup will feature some exciting NBA stars like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Ja Morant, but each team’s supporting cast has taken a hit.
The Grizzlies are already playing without star forward Jaren Jackson Jr., and now their frontcourt has suffered another injury.
Edey, 22, is averaging 9.2 points 7.9 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in just 20.9 minutes per game this season, shooting 57.7% from the field and 36.4% from beyond the arc. The 7-foot-4 phenom has been one of the league’s best rookies this season and has been huge for Memphis’ depleted frontcourt depth.
The Grizzlies are already 3-0 against the Suns this season, and having Edey available for Monday’s meeting would give Memphis a much better shot of sweeping the series.
