Memphis starting guard Jaylen Wells broke his right wrist on a hard fall on his arm and head from a midair collision at the end of a fast-break dunk during a victory over Charlotte.
The injury likely ends the rookie’s season right before the Grizzlies go into the playoffs.
Wells was down for eight minutes before being lifted by medical personnel onto a stretcher with his head strapped in to restrict motion and taken to a hospital.
Wells was at the rim when he was inadvertently undercut from behind. The contact caused Wells to lose his balance in the air.
The Grizzlies defeated Charlotte 124-100.
