SAN ANTONIO — Zach Edey wanted to set the tone. Ja Morant wanted to get him involved. The two ideas swiftly synced Wednesday night during the Memphis Grizzlies' game against the San Antonio Spurs.

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.

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.

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.

The San Antonio Spurs face off against the Memphis Grizzlies for the second straight game Friday night, when both Victor Wembanyama and Zach Edey will jump for the ball in what's become a budding rivalry between the two squads.

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 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.

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.
