Zach Edey is trending upwards with his statistics over the past few games The Memphis Grizzlies are enjoying Zach Edey’s gradual growth during his rookie season because he is exhibiting tremendous potential.
First career double-double Edey had 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 win over the 76ers.
Impact Edey recorded the first double-double of his career, while also playing at least 22 minutes for the second straight game. Despite starting in all seven games thus far, it's been a struggle for Edey in terms of adjusting to the NBA. However, he does appear to be slowly figuring things out, a welcome sight for anyone still utilizing him on a nightly basis.

Scores 13 points in loss Edey totaled 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 loss to the Nets.
Impact Edey tied his personal-best scoring mark in this game. Even though he's scored in double digits in just two of his five contests so far, the rookie seems to be getting more comfortable with each passing game. Excluding his NBA debut in which he fouled out after playing just 15 minutes, Edey is averaging 9.8 points and 4.3 rebounds across a mere 17.0 minutes per game.

Shakes off questionable tag Edey (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Edey will play through a sore right calf and likely remain in the starting lineup. However, it hasn't been a great start for the rookie. He's averaging only 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in 16.0 minutes through his first four regular-season appearances.

Iffy for Wednesday vs. Nets Edey is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to right calf soreness.
Impact Edey is dealing with a sore calf and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. The big man has started in all four of his regular-season appearances, and he has averaged 7.8 points and 5.0 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per game. However, the 22-year-old has played only 27 total minutes over the last two games, and the Grizzlies have opted for a deep frontcourt rotation with Santi Aldama, Jay Huff, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke all receiving double-digit playing time off the bench.

Near double-double vs. Houston Edey closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Edey was one rebound shy Friday from registering his first-career NBA double-double as he led the Grizzlies with nine boards, four of which came on the offensive side of the floor. The rookie center out of Purdue managed to put up 10 field-goal attempts, which is a good sign that he'll have his opportunities on offense alongside Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Edey and the Grizzlies will head back home to host Paolo Banchero and the Magic on Saturday.

Fouls out in regular-season debut Edey provided five points (2-4 FG, 1-5 FT) and five rebounds across 15 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 126-124 victory over the Jazz.
Impact There's no question this is not the way Edey would've thought his NBA debut would end up, as the rookie looked outmatched on defense and was unable to use his size to his advantage. He should remain the starting center for the time being and will be given every opportunity to adjust to the pace of the league, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about his forgettable rookie debut.

Returns to starting lineup Edey will start at center in the Grizzlies preseason finale against the Heat.
Impact Edey has been the primary starting center during the exhibition season, Brandon Clarke got the starting nod in Memphis' previous game. The rookie from Purdue has looked like a steal throughout the preseason and projects to start at center once the regular season tips off. He finished with 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes in Monday's 120-116 preseason win over the Pacers.
