Zach Edey’s Injury Status for Memphis Grizzlies vs Brooklyn Nets

The Memphis Grizzlies face the Brooklyn Nets in a game where Memphis should have a clear advantage tonight.

The Grizzlies are currently on a three-game winning streak, with a legitimate chance to finish the night as the second seed in the Western Conference. The team has become increasingly healthy, but they are still missing a key player.

Zach Edey has been listed as questionable on the injury report with a left ankle sprain. While doubtful, it’s still an upgrade from how often he’s been listed as out. Edey has not played for the Memphis Grizzlies since November 17 against the Denver Nuggets, where he posted 7 points and 7 rebounds in 14 minutes.

Earlier this week, Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins gave a promising update on Edey.

“I think he’ll get some more contact over the next couple of days, maybe a playgroup on Friday, and then we’ll evaluate towards the end of the week,” Jenkins said.

Through 14 games this season, Edey averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks on 61/60/67 shooting from the field. While none of Edey’s numbers jump off the page, he is a legitimate threat from the floor offensively and a shot blocker defensively for the Grizzlies. It says a lot about how deep the Grizzlies are that they have been able to perform this well while missing one of their most important starting lineup players.

The Memphis Grizzlies take on the Brooklyn Nets at 8pm EST tonight.
