- How many points did Zach Edey score tonight? Grizzlies vs Clippers box score
The Memphis Grizzlies made a surprising adjustment Friday night against the Clippers in Los Angeles .
Rookie center Zach Edey was not in the starting lineup. He had started nine straight games and 33 of the past 34 for Memphis.

Edey has said several times this season that he can adjust to coming off the bench because that's how his college career started at Purdue. The early signs in the Intuit Dome showed he was right.
Despite Edey's strong start, neither he nor the Grizzlies was able to finish strong. After building a six-point halftime lead, the Grizzlies fell 128-108 .
Edey scored eight points in the first half and didn't look overmatched against Clippers center Ivica Zubac . Guarding players like Zubac is why the Grizzlies drafted Edey.
But he was essentially a non-factor in the second half. He didn't score, and his defense wasn't as impactful.
