Grizzlies center Zach Edey headed for another operation on his ailing left ankle
Zach Edey will miss an indefinite period after a second surgery to address talar bone stress and ligament laxity in his left ankle, the Grizzlies said.
- On March 1, 2026 the Memphis Grizzlies announced Zach Edey will undergo a second left ankle surgery and be out indefinitely, prior to their game against the Pacers.
- Medical staff identified laxity in the deltoid ligaments as the cause of ongoing talar bone stress and discomfort in his left ankle, prompting a second surgery.
- He first had surgery on June 10 to stabilize his ankle and played just 11 games between Nov. 15 and Dec. 7, averaging 13.6 points on 63.6% shooting and 11.1 rebounds.
- Given the timing of the procedure, the team said a return this year is unlikely and the Grizzlies sit 11th at 22-36; a full recovery is expected, with a timeline to follow.
- Meanwhile, the team reported that the upcoming procedure will reinforce the medial ligament complex and accelerate bone healing, according to the club's statement.
