Edey will not return to Friday's game against the Spurs due to an injury to his nose. He finished with four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds and one assist in seven minutes.
Edey took an elbow to the face, resulting in him bleeding profusely. The Grizzlies were quick to rule him out for the contest, though Memphis held a big lead at the time and may just have opted to shut him down for precautionary reasons. Edey totaled four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds and one assist in seven minutes prior to being ruled out.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Underwhelms in tight loss Monday
Rotowire
Edey posted two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.
Edey's minutes have declined over the past two weeks while Memphis has regained nearly full health. Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Only 13 minutes in win
Rotowire
Edey finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes during Monday's 119-104 win over Dallas.
Edey started for the Grizzlies for a second straight game but didn't see more than 13 minutes on the floor, with Jay Huff taking those minutes during Monday's win against the Mavericks. This could be a telling sign, as the coaching staff could be losing confidence in the Purdue product's ability to make an impact as a starter, especially with Huff's ability to stretch the floor with his outside shooting.

Rotowire
Edey (concussion protocol), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings, is progressing well after testing and is expected to return either Friday or Saturday against the Warriors, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Edey has missed the club's last two games while going through the league's concussion protocol. The rookie big man has shown concussion-like symptoms, though the club determined that he is dealing with a complex migraine. If Edey remains sidelined, Jay Huff should continue to see a bump in playing time.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Upgraded to questionable

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Doubtful to play Friday
Rotowire
Edey (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Nets.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Likely to miss two more weeks
Rotowire
Coach Taylor Jenkins said Thursday that the Grizzlies weren't comfortable with where Edey (ankle) is in his recovery process, and he'll be monitored for a potential return to game action over the next couple of weeks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Edey is expected to miss more time due to a left ankle sprain, and he hasn't played since Nov. 17. The rookie big man was assigned to the club's G League affiliate -- the Mempis Hustle -- to get a practice in on Wednesday, though it seemingly did not go according to plan as he's now behind his original schedule for a return to game action. Jay Huff, Santi Aldama and Jake LaRavia should continue seeing an uptick in playing time with Edey sidelined.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Eyeing return Saturday
Rotowire
Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Edey (ankle) is progressing well through on-court activity, and he could potentially suit up for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Edey will miss Thursday's game against the Kings, though the Grizzlies are optimistic that the big man will make his return during their back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday. If he plays Saturday, the rookie will likely remain limited after a nine-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. Through 14 regular-season outings (nine starts), Edey has averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.8 assists across 20.1 minutes per game while shooting 61.0 percent from the floor.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that imaging on Edey's sprained left ankle was promising, but the rookie center is still being viewed as week-to-week, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
The rookie big man sprained his ankle during the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Nuggets, and he looks set to miss at least all three of the team's games this week while he recovers from the injury. Edey has turned in a promising start to his rookie campaign, averaging 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals across 20.1 minutes in 14 outings. While Edey is sidelined, Brandon Clarke and Jay Huff will likely cover most of the minutes at center.

Rotowire
Edey won't return to Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to a left ankle injury.

The rookie center will conclude Sunday's contest with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 14 minutes. Jay Huff and Brandon Clarke will absorb the minutes at center for the remainder of the contest, while Edey's status for Tuesday's rematch with the Nuggets is now in question.

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 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.
