The recruit outside of Memphis Grizzlies, Jaylen Wells, was stretched from the ground after having made a frightening fall on an attempted Dunk at the end of the first half of Tuesday evening victory over the Hornets.
Wells caught a pass before the defense and went up for the arrival, which he converted, but when he caught the edge, he was undervalued by KJ Simpson. His legs came out, Wells reculed, lost the handle on the rim and crashed on the ground and landed directly on the front of his head in force.
Be informed, it’s not easy to look at.
Wells, who was one of the recovery jewels of the 2024 draft in n ° 39 in total and was in the recruit conversation of the year all the season, was stretched for a long period on the ground before being removed on a stretcher.
After the match, Wells’ agent told ESPN that Wells was “awake, alert and move its ends” after the fall. However, Wells has undergone a broken right wrist.
For its part, Simpson was evaluated a blatant fault 2, which is delivered with an automatic ejection. In the defense of Simpson, it was clearly not intentional. You can see him go up for a pursuit block only to make the last second that he was not within reach to play the game. He tried to take off, but that was actually the problem. By walking away from Wells and trying to pass effectively to pass in front of him, he ran directly in Wells’ legs.
Let’s just hope that Wells is fine and that the fall was not as bad as it seemed. We will continue to update this story as more and more information on Wells’ state will become available.
