 Zach Edey Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Zach Edey, the towering Memphis Grizzlies center, has hit a major snag in his breakout sophomore season. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, as reported by CBS Sports and RotoWire, Edey will miss at least four weeks due to a stress reaction in his left ankle, with re-evaluation set around January 9, 2026—this the most significant recent development, potentially derailing his momentum just as he was dominating. Before the injury sidelined him, Edey was scorching hot, averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.1 assists in 25.8 minutes across 11 games, shooting a blistering 63.3 percent from the field, CBS Sports notes.

In the days leading up, he notched career-best feats with biographical weight: a 32-point, 17-rebound, five-block explosion versus the Kings, his best pro game yet; 19 boards and three swats against the Clippers; 19 points and 15 rebounds in a loss to the Spurs, extending a streak of double-digit rebound games. Earlier, he grabbed 15 boards twice, including a double-double win over Portland, and powered through a head injury—migraine and blow to the dome against Denver and New Orleans—to deliver 21-15 lines. All verified via CBS Sports and RotoWire updates. No public appearances, business ventures, or social media buzz confirmed in reliable reports from these past few days—no Edey posts lighting up feeds, insiders say.

The Grizzlies sit at 13-14 in the Southwest, per CBS standings, leaning on Jock Landale and Santi Aldama in his absence. This injury tests the Purdue legend's resilience after offseason ankle surgery delayed his debut. Speculation swirls he could return stronger, but that's unconfirmed.
