Zach Edey to Miss Start of Grizzlies Season After First-Team All-Rookie Campaign

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey will miss training camp and the beginning of the season as he recovers from surgery, the team announced on September 26, 2025. This absence is a significant setback for the Grizzlies' frontcourt. Edey, who earned First-Team All-Rookie honors last season, averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. His recovery, along with other key injuries, will place additional pressure on Ja Morant to carry the team through the initial part of the season in a highly competitive Western Conference.
