When does Zach Edey play in NBA Summer League? Stats, highlights and schedule for Grizzlies rookie

The 2024 NBA Draft is behind us and the rookies of this year’s class are ready to take the floor.

Purdue star Zach Edey is among the most highly anticipated NBA debuts after a decorated college basketball career that resulted in back-to-back Player of the Year trophies.

The 7-4 monster dominated for the Boilermakers this past season, averaging 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists per game. He’ll look to prove that his improved mobility and conditioning can transfer to the NBA level, trying to set the tone at Summer League with Memphis.

The No. 9 overall pick is expected to take the floor when the Grizzlies play in the Salt Lake City Summer League.
