Jaylen Wells, the rookie forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, has been discharged from the hospital following a concerning fall during a game against the Charlotte Hornets. The incident occurred when he attempted a dunk and was undercut by KJ Simpson, resulting in a Flagrant-2 foul and Simpson's ejection. Wells was stretchered off the court and later diagnosed with a broken wrist and a facial laceration. Fortunately, he has movement in his extremities, but he is expected to miss a significant amount of time.

This season, Wells averaged 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 79 games, ranking fourth in rookie scoring. His impressive performance led to recognitions such as being named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for October and November and a spot in the Rising Stars Game during the NBA All-Star Weekend.
