Zach Edey’s frustrating Grizzlies NBA debut didn’t last long

Zach Edey won’t win Rookie of the Year from the bench.

The overwhelming favorite to win the award spent most of his NBA debut on the sidelines as he fouled out after just 15 minutes of action in the Grizzlies’ 126-124 win over the Jazz on Wednesday night.

Edey, who started, scored his first two career points on a tip-in while being fouled. However, he then picked up two quick fouls and another in the second quarter after returning to the game.

He eventually fouled out with five points and five rebounds on a loose ball foul with 9:15 left and the Grizzlies leading, 102-91.

“It’s obviously going to be a different type of level, but it’s still basketball,” Edey told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal before the game. “It’s the sport I’ve played.”
