Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama put together a strong performance on both ends in Friday's win against 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
