The Memphis Grizzlies’ injury-plagued campaign has taken yet another hit. Jaylen Wells is set to undergo surgery to address a tendon avulsion fracture in his right big toe.
Although the team has not provided a specific recovery timetable, expectations are that Wells will likely be out for the rest of the season.
In his second year, Wells built on the unexpected promise he showed as a rookie.
The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 12.5 points and 3.2 rebounds while continuing to make a strong impact defensively.
Wells now becomes the latest addition to a long list of Grizzlies players ruled out for the season.
Santi Aldama, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Clarke, Zach Edey, Ja Morant and Scotty Pippen Jr. have all already been sidelined due to season-ending injuries or surgeries.
