After the Grizzlies' 2024-25 season ended disappointingly, their offseason delivered a haymaker to begin the festivities. Zach Edey was named to the NBA All-Rookie first team and played his best down the stretch of the regular season, but suffered his fourth ankle sprain since July last year in an offseason training session.

He elected to have surgery to re-stabilize his left ankle and is expected to miss some time at the beginning of the 2025-26 regular season.
