Memphis had until the end of the month to exercise that option but it was foregone conclusion that would happen. Edey was the ninth pick of last year’s draft and started a majority of the team’s games. He appeared in 66 overall (55 starts) and averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.o assists and 1.3 blocks in 21.5 minutes per contest.
The two-time National College Player of the Year at Purdue was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Edey underwent ankle surgery in June and is still several weeks away from returning to action.
