Memphis Grizzlies rookie Jaylen Wells was taken off the court on a stretcher after a scary fall at the rim with 1:10 left in the first half of Tuesday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Wells was going up for a dunk when he was fouled from behind by Hornets guard KJ Simpson. The foul was later upgraded to a flagrant foul 2 and Simpson was ejected.
Wells was on the court for several minutes before being moved onto a stretcher and taken into the tunnel.
Wells, 21, was drafted with the No. 39 pick in last summer’s draft and made an immediate impact for Memphis, averaging 10.5 points in just over 26.1 minutes this season.
