What Happened to Zach Edey? Grizzlies Rookie Suffers Bloody Nose Injury After Clashing With Spurs Star

Tragedy strikes the Grizzlies! They headed into tonight’s Spurs clash hoping to double down on Wednesday’s win against Victor Wembanyama and Co. And they did a solid job, maintaining a comfortable lead throughout the game despite playing without Ja Morant. However, things took an unfortunate turn when big man Zach Edey was left with a blood nose after a scary collision with Julian Champagnie.

The incident occurred midway through the second quarter. As Julian drove to the basket for a tough layup attempt, Edey jumped to contest his shot. Sure enough, the rookie was successful as Julian missed and even hit the deck hard due to the impact. But concerns began when Edey began checking on his nose as he ran back on offense. Turns out, he took an accidental elbow to his face from Champagnie during the contact play. In a scary sight, Edey’s nose began bleeding and he was forced to check out of the game to receive treatment. But it didn’t end there!

When the second half began, Edey was nowhere to be found. And it was later reported that he would sit out the remainder of the game, and is likely being evaluated for concussion. With that call, the rookie’s night ended early and he finished with only 4 points and four rebounds in seven minutes.
