Zach Edey through 4 quarters

The former Purdue standout had a quiet start to the game, with limited involvement on both ends of the floor. Edey played just over four minutes in the first quarter, failing to attempt a single shot. His stat line remained empty, aside from one turnover recorded during the opening period.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies rookie stepped up his involvement on both ends of the court. After a quiet first quarter with no shot attempts, the 7-foot-4 center became more active offensively, taking four shots in the period.

Zach Edey connected on 2-of-4 attempts from the field, including 0-of-1 from beyond the arc. Edey also made his presence felt on the glass, grabbing two offensive rebounds and recording one block. By halftime, the Grizzlies' center had accumulated four points, two rebounds and one block.

In a surprising move, Zach Edey did not start the third quarter, with Jay Huff taking his spot in the lineup.

Much like the opening period, Edey did not attempt a shot but contributed one rebound and one block to his stat line.
