Canadian Zach Edey suffers a nose injury against the Spurs

Unfortunately, Zach Edey’s night ended early Friday.

The seven-foot-four Canadian big man left the game in the second quarter and did not return with what the Grizzlies called a nose injury. He took an accidental elbow from Spurs forward Justin Champagnie while battling for a layup.

Edey was seen on the bench with a bloody nose before heading to the dressing room. The Memphis center played just seven minutes and scored four points while grabbing four rebounds.

Heading into Friday’s game, the Toronto native has started 20 of the 27 games he has played in, averaging 9.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.

Fortunately for Edey and the Grizzlies, their next game is Monday against Minnesota, so the big man will have a few extra days to rest.
