Zach Edey makes NBA history in Memphis Grizzlies vs. Brooklyn Nets

The Memphis Grizzlies suffered their fourth loss of the NBA season on Monday evening, losing to the Brooklyn Nets 106-104. It was a 4-4 start to the NBA season for the Grizzlies as they tried to stay afloat in the Western Conference with several key players sidelined due to injuries.

One player the Grizzlies need to step up this season is rookie center Zach Edey. The former Purdue star has taken on the role of starting center for Memphis and has had an up-and-down start to his NBA career

In Monday's game against the Nets, Edey had his best game of the season. Edey made NBA history with 25 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and one assist on 11/12 shooting from the field.

Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, that performance from Edey wasn't enough to defeat the Nets in Brooklyn. Ja Morant finished the game with 25 points, nine assists and five rebounds on 10 of 22 shooting. Morant and Edey were the only two Grizzlies players to score at least 20 points in the game.

Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and other key Grizzlies players were out, leaving Memphis without some of its top players.

If Edey can continue to provide consistent offensive production for the Grizzlies, it will go a long way toward easing the scoring load that Morant has to carry on a nightly basis.
