Zach Edey’s night unfortunately ended early on Friday.
The seven-foot-four Canadian big man left the game in the second quarter and did not return with what the Grizzlies called a nose injury. He took an inadvertent elbow from Spurs forward Justin Champagnie while contesting a layup.
Edey was seen on the bench with a bloody nose before he headed to the locker room. The Memphis centre played just seven minutes and scored four points while grabbing four rebounds.
Heading into Friday’s game, the Toronto native started 20 of the 27 games he’s played in, averaging 9.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.
Fortunately for Edey and the Grizzlies, their next game is Monday against Minnesota, so the big man will have a few extra days to rest.
