Post joins the starters for the second half while Edey sits the third quarter.
“No Zach Edey for the third quarter. Similar to Ty Jerome and Quinten Post from the first game. Post is in with the starters at center to start the second half.”
Memphis kept Edey's preseason usage limited out of caution.
“The Grizzlies wanted to be cautious with Zach Edey's usage in the preseason.”
Edey's outing was the best-case scenario Memphis planned and nothing got in the way.
“This was pretty much the best-case scenario that we had planned, and there was nothing that prevented us from going there.”
Edey's rim protection and rebounding are what the group can use while his offense can still grow.
“Defensively, if we start there, we saw some of his impact last season, starting with the rim protection and different types of scenarios, rebounding on both ends, something that this group can really use from him. Offensively, he can still expand his game and he can get better in the games he already does well, but he can also expand his game.”
Stewart is out Wednesday against Orlando with a left ankle injury still being evaluated.
“Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo says center Isaiah Stewart (left ankle) is “still being evaluated” and did not practice today after injuring the ankle in first half of Monday’s preseason win in Atlanta. Stewart will miss Wednesday’s home preseason game against Orlando.”
