SALT LAKE CITY — Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey 's NBA debut was short-lived Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz .

It was hard for Edey to get in much of a rhythm. He picked up two early fouls in the first quarter and a third foul shortly after going back into the game during the second quarter. He played just 15 minutes.
Backup center Jay Huff stepped up and was one of the Grizzlies' best contributors in Edey's absence, with 13 points, five rebounds and two blocks. But Memphis will need its first-round pick to stay out of foul trouble as the season progresses.
