Memphis Grizzlies centre Zach Edey has sprained his left ankle
again and the team said Saturday that the All-Rookie team
selection will need surgery.
The Grizzlies said the 7-foot-3 Edey was working out this week
when he injured the ankle again. Imaging revealed excessive
ligamentous laxity, which will be addressed with surgery that
will also restabilize his ankle.
