Zach Edey likely to miss beginning of NBA season, will require surgery for sprained ankle

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – The Memphis Grizzlies announced that All-Rookie Center Zach Edey has re-sprained his left ankle.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Edey is likely to miss the beginning of the 2025-26 season.

The injury took place during an offseason training session this week.

Imaging revealed excessive ligamentous laxity, which will require Edey to undergo surgery to address the laxity and re-stabilize his ankle.

A preliminary timeline will be provided following surgery, but Edey is expected to make a full recovery.

Edey first suffered the injury on July 2024 in the Summer League.
