Zach Edey Stats Tonight: How did Memphis Grizzlies rookie perform against Orlando Magic? (Feb. 21)

The Memphis Grizzlies recorded a nail-biting 105-104 win against the Orlando Magic on Friday in the second game of their back-to-back. Rookie Zach Edey took the floor as part of the starting lineup alongside Jaylen Wells, Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr.

The 7-foot-4 center had a quiet outing, finishing with just two points on 1-of-2 shooting from the field. He contributed six rebounds, two blocks and committed two turnovers. In his 12:09 minutes on the court, he posted a plus/minus of -11.

Zach Edey through four quarters

The former Purdue standout eased into the game, staying patient rather than forcing plays on the offensive end. He took just two shot attempts in the opening quarter, converting one, while also grabbing two rebounds.

In the second quarter, the rookie remained passive on offense, not attempting a single shot. However, he made his presence felt in other areas, contributing with an offensive rebound and a block.

By halftime, Zach Edey had recorded two points on 1-of-2 shooting in 8:12 minutes. He did not attempt a 3-pointer or a free throw but secured three rebounds and added a block to his stat line.

The Grizzlies rookie struggled to find his rhythm after halftime, failing to register a single shot attempt. While he managed to grab a few more rebounds and record another block, he was largely unable to make a significant impact against the Magic. Edey remained on the bench for the entire fourth quarter as coach Taylor Jenkins opted not to play his rookie in the game’s critical moments.
