MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Zach Edey might not be ready for the beginning of the 2025-26 season after undergoing surgery on his left ankle on Tuesday.
The Memphis Grizzlies rookie center had the surgery to fix and stabilize his ankle after he sprained it again during training last week.
The team announced that the 7-foot-3 player from Canada will be reevaluated in four months, which is just under two weeks before the new season starts on October 21.
Edey, who won national player of the year twice while at Purdue, missed 12 games early in the previous season due to a sprained left ankle.
He went on to play in 66 games, starting 55 of them, and averaged 9.2 points along with a rookie-leading 8.3 rebounds. He earned a spot on the All-Rookie first team.
