Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Edey (ankle) went through imaging that looked promising, though he should be considered week-to-week moving forward, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. The rookie big man sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Nuggets, and he is expected to miss at least a week due to the injury. Edey has produced a promising start to his rookie campaign, during which he has averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals across 20.1 minutes in 14 regular-season outings. Brandon Clarke and Jay Huff are candidates for an uptick in playing time while Edey is sidelined.

Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Edey (ankle) went through imaging that looked promising, though he should be considered week-to-week moving forward, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. The rookie big man sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Nuggets, and he is expected to miss at least a week due to the injury. Edey has produced a promising start to his rookie campaign, during which he has averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals across 20.1 minutes in 14 regular-season outings. Brandon Clarke and Jay Huff are candidates for an uptick in playing time while Edey is sidelined.
Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. Edey rolled his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game against Denver, and the rookie big man was diagnosed with a sprained ankle. It's unlikely Edey will be able to suit up for the Grizzlies' second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday against the 76ers. While Edey is sidelined, Jay Huff should see additional playing time off the bench behind starting center Brandon Clarke.
Edey (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Edey needed assistance to get to the locker room after rolling his ankle in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly after that. Edey will conclude Sunday's contest with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 14 minutes of action. Jay Huff will likely be the main beneficiary in Edey's absence, serving as the backup to Brandon Clarke.
Edey (ankle) was helped to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Edey limped to the locker room in the second quarter, but he was able to return for the start of the third quarter. However, he rolled his ankle in the third quarter and needed assistance back to the Grizzlies' locker room. If Edey is unable to return for the fourth quarter, Jay Huff will see an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Edey (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Edey left the game in the second quarter and limped back to the locker room, but he returned to the game in the third quarter. It remains unclear what Edey was dealing with, but his return to action indicates it should not be much of a concern going forward.
Edey went to the locker Sunday with an undisclosed injury, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Edey left the game midway through the second quarter and went back to the locker room with an apparent limp. The injury remains unclear at this point, so his return is questionable. If he cannot return, Jay Huff will likely see more minutes at center.
Edey chipped in 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench. during Friday's 123-118 loss to Golden State. The rookie center has looked comfortable since moving to the second unit, and over four games off the bench Edey is averaging 13.0 points, 7.8 boards, 1.8 steals, 1.3 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 23.8 minutes a contest while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor. The defensive production in particular is very encouraging, and Edey has recorded at least one block and one steal in all four of those appearances off the bench.
Edey supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 win over the Trail Blazers. Edey has scored in double digits off the bench in his last two appearances, but he's also emerged as a reliable defensive presence -- which shouldn't be surprising given his size and defensive instincts. Edey is averaging 13.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game in November.
Edey will play a reserve role in Friday's matchup with the Wizards. The Grizzlies will opt to go smaller with Brandon Clarke and Jaren Jackson in the frontcourt. As a result, Edey will come off the bench for the first time in his rookie season. He is averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks across 19.1 minutes in nine games this year.
