Edey (ankle) has been a full participant in training camp this week, Matt Infield of Actions News 5 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edey tweaked his right ankle during the Summer League which shut him down early, but by all accounts, it was a minor issue. There's been no talk of any limitations at camp, and the expectations around Memphis are very high for the rookie. Edey was spotted hitting some three-pointers with ease and looks ready to compete for the starting center role.

Edey (ankle) has been shut down for the remainder of Summer League, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edey tweaked his right ankle during Thursday's win over the Pelicans. While the issue is expected to be minor, it's unsurprising to see Memphis proceed with caution. Edey, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is expected to compete for a rotational role in Memphis' frontcourt as a rookie.

Edey went back to the locker room after tweaking his right ankle during Thursday's exhibition in Las Vegas, and he will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Edey landed on another player's foot after attempting to block a shot and rolled his ankle, although he was able to walk off the court under his own power. He may have been able to return had this been a regular-season game, but there's no reason to push it during an exhibition contest. Edey looked solid while on the court, hitting all three of his shots on his way to six points, three rebounds and one block over nine minutes.

Edey (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Summer League matchup against New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Edey hasn't played since tweaking his ankle at the Salt Lake Summer League, but he'll be making his Las Vegas debut Thursday. He shouldn't have any minutes restrictions, and the fact that he's suiting up for an exhibition game suggests that his ankle is fine.

Edey (ankle) didn't play in Wednesday's 104-98 win over the Magic but is expected to return before the end of Summer League, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edey sprained his ankle during Salt Lake City Summer League and hasn't suited up in a little over one week. The Grizzlies have indicated the injury is minor, and they're just being cautious with the ninth overall pick. Still, the expectation is that he'll be back before Summer League ends. Edey's next chance to play will be Thursday against New Orleans.

Edey will sit out Wednesday's Summer League contest due to minor ankle soreness, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies are wrapping up their time at the Salt Lake Summer League with their third game in as many nights, so Memphis will take some precautions with their lottery pick. He should be back in action for Friday's Summer League game in Las Vegas, though.

Edey tallied 14 points (7-12 FG), 15 rebounds, four blocks and one assist across 34 minutes in Monday's 97-95 overtime loss to the Jazz in the Salt Lake City Summer League.
EDGE Analysis
Edey dominated the glass in an exciting matchup with Walker Kessler, a two-year professional of the NBA. Edey did turn his ankle in the beginning of the third quarter, but he returned to the game shortly thereafter. The big man grabbed boards with ease and put up four blocks as he patrolled the paint. The 22-year-old also set tough screens, showing a skill that the Grizzlies will look to pair with Ja Morant's explosiveness on the ball. Edey was dominant at Purdue, and in his last season there he averaged 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists in 39 games.
