LOOK: Zach Edey Reps Purdue Gear During NBA Summer League Action

Edey just completed his rookie season in the NBA, averaging 9.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. He was a first-team NBA All-Rookie Team selection.

Following his first season, Edey was expected to play a little bit in Summer League action, but sustained an ankle injury during the offseason. It required him to get surgery, which will keep him away from the court for an extended period of time.

"There's no exact timeline right now. I'm just doing all the rehabbing right now, and working hard at it,'' Edey told Purdue Boilermakers on SI in Las Vegas prior to the Grizzlies' game with the Boston Celtics. "It had to be done. I really needed it. That ankle has been giving me trouble for quite a while now, so I'm really optimistic that it'll be a lot stronger once I'm back to full-go.''

Edey was selected No. 9 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft following an outstanding career at Purdue. He was a two-time National Player of the Year and is the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder.

It's pretty cool to see the NBA star continuing to rep the Boilermakers after his time in West Lafayette.
