Edey injured his ankle during Sunday's win over the Nuggets, exiting during the third quarter. His extended absence opens up additional minutes for Santi Aldama and Jay Huff, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling.
Edey dealt with injuries during Summer League, but this will be the first absence of his NBA career. Jay Huff should get the start in his place and be worth streaming for 3-pointers and blocks.
Edey initially injured his ankle during the first half, but the second instance during the third quarter ended his night. The rookie center needed help returning to the locker room and has since been ruled out. Jay Huff may pick up a few more minutes off the bench if Edey misses time, but he is not worth streaming in most leagues.
Clarke missed Wednesday's game against the Lakers, but will be back in the starting lineup Friday against the Warriors. Jay Huff will head back to the bench while Zach Edey continues to see lots of minutes in the Grizzlies' big man rotation.
Clarke was held out of Wednesday's loss to the Lakers, with Jay Huff replacing him in the starting lineup. Huff dropping the bench would not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as Zach Edey should still play more minutes than any of the bigs despite coming off the bench.
