Zach Edey Sidelined for At Least a Month with Left Ankle Stress Reaction

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey will miss at least a month due to a stress reaction in his left ankle, announced Thursday. This is the same ankle that required offseason surgery, which caused him to miss the season's first 13 games. His agent, Mark Bartelstein, described it as a "management plan to optimize Zach's long-term health" with an "excellent" prognosis. Edey averages 13.6 points and 11.1 rebounds. Jock Landale is expected to start in his absence, with Jaren Jackson Jr. also seeing more time at center.
