NBA Rookie Zach Edey Exits NBA Summer League With Concerning Injury

Despite what many critics have said about his transition to the NBA, Zach Edey has dominated college basketball over the last two years. While some were unsure if he'd even get drafted, he ended up going in the first round to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Unfortunately, Edey missed five-straight NBA Summer League games due to an ankle injury. Fans were extremely excited to watch Edey hit the court for the first time in a while, but things didn't quite go to plan. After finally getting to play again, Edey injured his ankle again, but this time it could be worse as it appeared to be a sprain.

Being 7'4, Edey is prone to injury at the NBA level. He could have a solid NBA career if he manages to stay healthy, but as he's already displaying, that's a big ask. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it looked, and he has a speedy recovery from the injury.
