Zach Edey’s one-word response to a viral moment in Grizzlies-Magic

The Memphis Grizzlies have started the NBA season 2-1 through their first three games. Memphis missed the playoffs last season after several key players went down with injuries and plans to re-enter the Western Conference postseason picture.

Although the Grizzlies would have liked to be in the playoffs last season, their absence did allow them to enter the lottery, with Purdue center Zach Edey being selected with the ninth overall pick.

Edey has started all three games for Memphis to begin his NBA career, averaging 8.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game. Foul troubles are a problem for Edey as he is averaging 4.7 per game early in his career.

Not known for his shooting, Edey made just one three in four seasons in college. This happened after just two attempts, as Edey did his damage near the basket. Edey made a three against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, surprising many NBA fans.

In response to his first NBA three, Edey shared a one-word message on his Instagram Story.

“Booooooom,” Edey wrote, resharing the post NBA Post.

This message from the NBA went viral and was viewed more than a million times on Instagram. Edey has a large fan base from his time at Purdue and is looking to win over Grizzlies fans with his performance this season.
