Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey will undergo surgery to re-stabilize his left ankle. As a result of the surgery, Edey is expected to miss the start of the 2025-26 season.
Edey recently re-sprained his left ankle in an offseason workout. That injury led to the decision to have the surgery.
"After consulting with the Grizzlies and multiple specialists, we decided this is the best approach for Zach long-term as it gets him back to 100% with no limitations," Edey's agent Mark Bartelstein said. "He will make a full recovery and be back better than ever."
Edey was name to the All-Rookie first team this past season. In 66 games (55 starts), the 7-foot-4 center averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.
