Zach Edey gave the Detroit Pistons a free lesson on window cleaning Saturday night. The Memphis Grizzlies rookie and former Purdue superstar set a new franchise rookie record with a monster performance on the glass.
Edey finished Saturday night’s game with 21 rebounds, a rookie franchise record for the Grizzlies. It’s also the most rebounds in a single game by a rookie during the 2024-25 NBA season so far.
The 7-foot-4 center also had six points, six assists and a block, helping Memphis to a 109-103 victory over Detroit. The Grizzlies are now 46-32 on the season and are fighting for a top-six seed in the Western Conference.
