Memphis Grizzlies' rookie sensation Zach Edey has found himself in hot water after being caught speeding at a staggering 101mph. The towering centre, known for his dominance on the court, now faces disciplinary action from both the NBA and local authorities.
What Led to the Incident?
Details surrounding the high-speed violation remain scarce, but sources confirm Edey was pulled over by law enforcement in Tennessee. The 7'4" Canadian-born player, who joined the Grizzlies as a first-round draft pick, was reportedly cooperative during the traffic stop.
Potential Consequences
While the legal ramifications could include fines or license suspension, the NBA may impose additional penalties under its conduct policy. League officials are reviewing the matter, with a decision expected soon.
Team and Fan Reactions
The Grizzlies organization has declined to comment publicly, but insiders suggest the team is addressing the matter internally. Fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions – some expressing concern while others downplay the incident as youthful indiscretion.
This development comes as Edey prepares for his debut NBA season, where he's expected to make an immediate impact for the rebuilding Grizzlies franchise.
