Not many players would try and dunk over Victor Wembanyama. You have to catch him at the right angle, maybe with his head turned, to have any chance to get something by the NBA's leading shot blocker.

One of those rivalries is none other than Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey and San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. At only 21 years old, Wembanyama is already being looked at as the future face of the league.

Memphis Grizzlies big man Zach Edey isn't exactly a frontrunner for this season's Rookie of the Year title. However, the 22-year-old center has been making waves in his own right as he's played a considerable role in the Grizzlies currently holding the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Everyone stops but Ja. He made up his mind that he was dunking on Big Vic right there, no matter what happens next. Meanwhile, Wemby isn’t even fully in position. He slows on his rotation because of the whistle and then gives a half-hearted contest once Morant is in the air and jumping into his chest.

Steven Adams, who played three years in Memphis, is convinced that rookie Zach Edey will continue to thrive with the Grizzlies.

Memphis Grizzlies rookie center Zach Edey experienced a setback on Friday when he was elbowed in the face during his team’s matchup against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Ja Morant had 21 points and 12 assists to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 129-115 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Desmond Bane scored 21 points, Santi Aldama added 20 and Jaren Jackson Jr. 19 for Memphis, which had lost four of its last six games entering Wednesday.

Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.

Earlier in the game, Wembanyama (13 points, 12 rebounds, eight blocks) was on the wrong end of another poster dunk. He was victimized by Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey, who also had bad intentions against the young phenom.

No Ja Morant, no problem for the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. With their star out because of a foot injury, the Grizzlies exploded in the third quarter to pull away from the San Antonio Spurs and ensure they left Frost Bank Center with a 140-112 win on the final night of their four-game road trip.
