Edey’s Career Night Lifts Short-Handed Grizzlies
Zach Edey delivered a dominant performance with a career-best 32 points and 17 rebounds, steering the Memphis Grizzlies to a 115-107 win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.
The centre produced his third double-double of the season in just 29 minutes on the court, converting 16 of 20 field-goal attempts. Edey also scored six crucial points in the final 3 1/2 minutes, closing out the contest and extending Memphis’ road winning streak to four games.
Memphis were again without Ja Morant, but unlike their previous two outings – where they had to claw back from double-digit deficits – the Grizzlies controlled large stretches of this game before surviving a late charge from the hosts.

Supporting Cast Steps Up for Memphis
While Edey set the tone, several teammates provided important offensive support. Cam Spencer finished with 16 points, Jaylen Wells added 15, and both Jaren Jackson Jr. and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope contributed 13 points apiece.
The Grizzlies’ balanced scoring helped them maintain their advantage for much of the night, particularly as they absorbed Sacramento’s third-quarter surge and responded strongly at the start of the fourth.
| Team | Final Score | Top Scorer | Points | Rebounds | Notable Shooting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Memphis Grizzlies | 115 | Zach Edey | 32 | 17 | 16 of 20 from the floor |
| Sacramento Kings | 107 | DeMar DeRozan | 23 | 1 | 3 of 5 from 3-point range |
Momentum Swings and Fourth-Quarter Response
Memphis held a 13-point cushion in the third quarter before Sacramento mounted a strong response. The Kings pieced together a sustained run that flipped the game on its head, sending them into the fourth quarter with an 87-83 lead.
The Grizzlies answered immediately to open the final period, stringing together a 14-2 burst to reclaim control. Even after that surge, the Kings refused to go away, narrowing the gap to 101-99, but Edey’s late scoring flurry ensured Memphis stayed in front for good.
Kings’ Offensive Leaders
DeMar DeRozan led the way for Sacramento with 23 points and connected on three 3-pointers. Malik Monk provided additional scoring punch with 21 points, while Zach LaVine contributed 19 points, following up his season-high 34-point effort in Friday’s defeat to the Utah Jazz.
Efficiency and Upcoming Fixtures
Edey’s efficiency was a standout element of the contest. Despite his heavy usage inside, he attempted only one free throw and was close to securing his double-double by half-time, underlining how productive he was from the field.
Next up, the Grizzlies travel to face the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night as they look to extend their strong form away from home. The Kings, meanwhile, will be back in action on Wednesday night when they visit the Houston Rockets.
