Grizzlies’ Zach Edey to Undergo Second Ankle Surgery, Putting Season Return in Doubt
- Edey will undergo a second ankle surgery in the left ankle to address ongoing discomfort and talar bone stress.
- This is Edey’s second procedure on the area in about a year, following a June surgery to address laxity in the lateral ankle joint.
- Doctors say the deltoid ligaments are the current source of pain, while the lateral ligaments remain stable.
- The goal of the upcoming surgery is to promote bone healing.
- Edey has not played since December 7 and is unlikely to return before the season ends.
- Memphis Grizzlies are 11th in the Western Conference with a 22–36 record, missing the playoffs if the season ends now.
- Hope remains for Edey to return healthy in the fall when the 2026–27 season begins.
- Edey, the 2024 first-round pick, had averaged 13.6 points and 11.1 rebounds over 11 games this season before his injury.
- Grizzlies PR announced the medical update alongside updates on Brandon Clarke.
- The article was published and updated by Madison Williams, SI staff writer.
