According to reports, Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey was clocked going over 100 mph in Indiana last month, leading to accusations of reckless driving and misdemeanor speeding.
An Indiana State Trooper allegedly observed Edey speeding through Tippecanoe County, which is close to his alma mater, Purdue University, and pulled him over and issued a penalty on May 1, according to Joe Schroeder’s FOX 59 story.
The center for the Memphis Grizzlies was doing 101 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone while driving his white Kia Sorento.
When asked why he was going so fast, Edey simply said he was “trying to pass a vehicle” and didn’t go into any further detail.
After injuring his left ankle in a summer exercise, Zach Edey will likely miss the beginning of the 2025–26 NBA season regardless of the outcome of the court case.
A procedure to realign the player’s ankle was necessary for the Memphis Grizzlies star.
Edey had a respectable rookie year with the Memphis Grizzlies last year, appearing in 66 games (55 starts) and averaging 9.2 points and 8.3 rebounds while shooting 58.0 percent from the field.
Along with Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr, Jaylen Wells, and Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, the 23-year-old was selected to the 2024-25 NBA All-Rookie First Team.
After receiving 27 votes for the second team and 73 for the first, Edey was selected.
