The Grizzlies interior rookie undergoes left ankle surgery, will he miss four months and miss training camp?

The Memphis Grizzlies official revealed that the team's inside rookie Zach Edey has completed a left ankle repair surgery and he will be absent for at least four months. Earlier, according to reports from ESPN authoritative journalist Shams Charania, Edie suffered another sprain in her left ankle position during a daily offseason training this week, and he had to undergo surgery to restabilize the area.

In the NBA regular season this season, Edie played a total of 66 games in 82 games, averaging 21.5 minutes per game, averaging 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 58% from the field, 34.6% from three-point shooting percentage and 70.9% from free throws. In the playoffs, Edie played 4 games in total, with averaging 27 minutes per game, with averaging 6.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.5 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 66.7% and his free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%.

Edi's overall performance this season is actually quite good. He showed comprehensive scoring ability during the regular season. Not only did he have good offensive efficiency at the basket, but he also had a certain degree of confidence in outside shooting. Edie can also take on the task of rebounding protection and rim protection on the defensive end. In the playoffs, Edie still maintained a high threat at the basket, and his performance in protecting the basket was still outstanding. However, due to factors such as body shape and athleticism, Edie is indeed not ideal in terms of movement speed, and the ball rights are relatively limited, Edie is indeed unable to perform better on the offensive end in this situation. However, as a rookie, being able to perform like this is actually a pretty good performance.

However, the current situation is that Edie seems to be unable to bear such a high-intensity and high-density game rhythm. Just after the season ended, Edie suffered such a major injury. From the perspective of recovery time, Edie had to rest all summer, and this summer was completely unable to complete any improvement for him. Not only that, it is difficult for him to even have the opportunity to participate in training camp before the start of the season, which will have a great impact on his preparations for the next season. Recalling the continuous injury experience of Yao Ming in the later stages of his career, and Edie has great similarities with Yao Ming in terms of height and weight. In addition, he encountered such a serious injury in his first season of his career, whether he can maintain a healthy state in his future career may have become a huge question mark.
