Edey, who stands at 7'4" compared to Wembanyama's 7'3", got the best of the Spurs' phenom early in the first quarter Wednesday as the Grizzlies were in San Antonio. Edey received a pass from Ja Morant in the low post and got to the side of Wembanyama before he went up and over for a huge slam.He got the best of Wembanyama's incredibly lengthy frame this time. There's another post battle on the docket between the two young big men as the Grizzlies and Spurs will meet again on Friday.Blake Silverman is a contributor to the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
