Zach Edey didn't break his streak of single-digit scoring games, but he had a solid performance on Wednesday night against the Hornets at FedExForum.
The Grizzlies' rookie scored seven points and grabbed six rebounds while repeatedly causing problems on the interior and helping Memphis build a double-digit lead in a game that was never really competitive.
Edey had a strong first half but struggled with foul trouble and picked up his fourth foul early in the second half. He finished with 19 minutes, just shy of his season average.
Memphis eventually won 132-120.
Edey hasn't scored double-digit points since the Dec. 27 win over New Orleans. His next chance is on Friday at FedExForum when the Grizzlies host those Pelicans.
