Grizzlies Rule Out Zach Edey vs. Nets; Center to Miss Second Straight Game

Zach Edey will not play for the Memphis Grizzlies against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. The Grizzlies ruled him out with left ankle injury management after he was first listed as questionable.

He also missed Friday’s game at New Orleans.

Quinten Post is out again in concussion protocol. He took an elbow to the face Monday in Toronto.

Memphis started Isaiah Stewart at center in New Orleans. He blocked 4 shots and finished with 12 points and 5 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Taylor Hendricks grabbed 12 rebounds and scored 10 points off the bench in the 142-111 win over the Pelicans.

Memphis will also be missing its top two scorers from Friday. Jerami Grant is out with a head injury and Ty Jerome with right hip soreness after the two combined for 39 points Friday. Scotty Pippen Jr. (lumbar disc herniation) and Richie Saunders (right knee surgery) are out, too.

Tip-off is 7 p.m. CT at FedExForum. It is the second game of a back-to-back for Memphis.

Brooklyn will be without Michael Porter Jr., who is out for personal reasons. Mikel Brown Jr. and Nolan Traore are available after being listed earlier with an illness and right calf tightness and soreness, respectively. Four Nets are out on G League assignments or two-way designations.

Memphis is 8-4, with all four of its losses coming at FedExForum. Brooklyn is 3-8 and last played Wednesday, when it won 145-111 at New Orleans.
