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.

The Grizzlies beat the Spurs on Wednesday night at the Frost Bank Center, and they'll meet again on Friday night. San Antonio (19-20) will be looking for revenge after Wednesday's loss, while Memphis (26-15) is looking to finish off the four-game road trip with a win.

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.

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.

Star guard Ja Morant dunked on Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, but it came after the whistle had blown. Grizzlies center Zach Edey also had a dunk over Wembanyama that counted, but the 7-foot-3 Frenchman also had eight blocks. Start the day smarter.

Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and the Grizzlies could all but assure a top-six seed with this January schedule.

So far this season, Wembanyama has only three other games scoring either 13 points or less and in the next game after those performances, he is averaging a solid 24 points. Relate

Morant has had several injuries over the past two seasons, and hopefully, this doesn't become a regular thing for one of the young, budding stars in the league. It will be interesting to see what his availability looks like closer to game time.
