Edey posted eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and seven blocks over 33 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

It's the most blocks ever in a single playoff game by a Grizzlies rookie, and just two off the NBA rookie record set by Manute Bol in 1986. Edey had a strong finish to the regular season on the glass, averaging 10.6 points, 15.3 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over his first eight contests in April, and his defensive performance Saturday with the team's season on the line offers plenty of hope that he could take a big step forward as a sophomore in 2025-26.

Edey notched nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Edey recorded single-digit points for the third consecutive game, though he was efficient during Thursday's loss. The rookie big man is averaging 5.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.6 percent from the floor across 25.3 minutes per game during the first round. Edey and the Grizzlies will look to avoid elimination during Saturday's Game 4 in Memphis.

Edey had four points (2-3 FG), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Outside of Jaren Jackson's performance in Game 2, Memphis hasn't gotten much out of their frontcourt in this series. In his first two playoff appearances, Edey has averaged a mere 4.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks on 50.0 percent shooting in 23.0 minutes per contest. It wouldn't be a surprise to see some rotation changes for Game 3.

Edey closed Sunday's 131-80 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Edey had a quiet outing offensively in Sunday's Game 1, but he led the way on the glass by pacing all Grizzlies in rebounds and finishing one board shy of the double-digit mark. Edey was strong on the boards for Memphis during the regular season, hauling in nine or more rebounds in 29 contests. Look for Edey to continue to be a big part of the Grizzlies' effort to try and control the glass against a talented Thunder squad.

Edey contributed 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 32 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Edey continues to play his best basketball of the season, recording his second straight double-double. He has now logged at least 30 minutes in five straight games, playing typical starters minutes after consistency had been an issue throughout his rookie campaign. With Brandon Clarke (knee) unavailable for the remainder of the season, Edey has been thrust into a more sizeable role. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 10.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 26.4 minutes per game. He should continue to play a crucial role when the Grizzlies take on the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, a team that has the ability to play big, with the likes of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein.

Edey closed Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors with 14 points (4-11 FG, 6-8 FT), 17 rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie center once again dominated the glass. Edey has pulled down at least 16 boards in five of seven appearances since the beginning of April, but Tuesday's game was the first during that stretch in which he didn't record at least one block. Edey will likely need to continue coming up big in the paint Friday as the Grizzlies get one more chance to secure a playoff spot.

Edey is in the starting five for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edey will reclaim his starting center spot from Marvin Bagley on Tuesday after missing Memphis' regular-season finale due to an ankle injury. Against Golden State's small-ball lineup, the 7-foot-4 rookie will have a significant size advantage.

Edey (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Edey is set to return to game action after missing Sunday's win over the Mavericks in Memphis' regular-season finale. The rookie big man has started in each of his last eight appearances, averaging 9.3 points, 13.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists across 27.8 minutes per contest in that span.

Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Edey will be held out of the Grizzlies' regular-season finale due to an ankle injury, but it shouldn't impact his availability for the Play-In Tournament if Memphis doesn't finish in the top six of the Western Conference standings. With Edey, Jaren Jackson (back) and Santi Aldama (ankle) all out Sunday, Jay Huff and Marvin Bagley will serve as the Grizzlies' top big men.

Edey is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to left ankle soreness.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies have already locked up a spot in the Play-In Tournament, so there's no point in risking some of their regular rotation members. This is particularly noteworthy with Edey, who has a frame that needs to be taken care of due to his size. The doubtful tag suggests Edey might not play, though. If he ends up being ruled out, then Jay Huff, Marvin Bagley and Lamar Stevens could be in line to see more minutes in the frontcourt.
