Zach Edey is set to miss the matchup against the 76ers due to an ankle injury, marking a significant absence for the Grizzlies. He had been a consistent contributor, averaging 11 points and seven assists in his first nine games, and recently transitioned to a bench role while still increasing his playing time to 22 minutes per game, where he averaged 12 points and eight rebounds. Edey had previously recorded his first double-double against the Sixers earlier this month. The Grizzlies consider him week-to-week as he recovers from his injury.
