Memphis Grizzlies rookie Jaylen Wells broke his right wrist in a midair collision during a fast-break dunk against Charlotte. The incident occurred in a game that Memphis won 124-100. Wells, who started 74 out of 79 games this season, was down for eight minutes before being stretchered off the court with his head immobilized. He was taken to a hospital where he had movement in all extremities. The game was delayed for 23 minutes, including warmup time. Officials called a flagrant foul 2 on Charlotte’s KJ Simpson, resulting in his ejection. Wells, a 2024 second-round draft pick from Washington State, averaged 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. The Grizzlies are now tied for fourth place in the Western Conference but could still finish as low as eighth.

Apr 2 And with that, Cody Williams horrible rookie season is over. I don’t think it could have gone any worse. I really hope he maximizes the off season.

Apr 3 Rookie status is exhausted once a player: (1) has more than 130 at-bats in the majors; (2) has pitched more than 50 innings in the majors; or (3) has been on an active major league roster for more than 45 days (not including time on the injured list).

Apr 7 Seems like at some point they’ve gotta change how quick that turnaround is. Rookies get no chance to bulk up or get ready for the season, and then they’ve played almost a full NBA season in a year by the time their rookie season is over.
