Zach Edey Confirmed Out for Grizzlies-Mavericks Game

Zach Edey of the Memphis Grizzlies has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Dallas Mavericks due to left ankle soreness. This decision comes as the Grizzlies have already secured their spot in the Play-In Tournament, leading the team to rest several key players, including Edey, who has had a promising rookie season, averaging 9.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. While Edey's absence will be felt, the Grizzlies are expected to rely on Jay Huff and Marvin Bagley to fill the void in the frontcourt. Edey's injury is not anticipated to affect his availability for the Play-In Tournament, assuming the team performs well in the playoffs. With the Grizzlies locked into the playoffs and minimal stakes in the final regular-season game, caution regarding player health is prioritized. The game is scheduled to tip-off on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. EST.
