As of now, there are no credible reports indicating that Memphis Grizzlies player Jaylen Wells has been involved in a car accident. However, he did suffer a significant injury during a game in April 2025.(Basketball Forever)

On April 8, 2025, during a matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, Wells sustained a severe injury following a hard foul by Hornets guard KJ Simpson. While attempting a fastbreak dunk, Wells was undercut by Simpson, causing him to fall awkwardly and land face-first on the court. He suffered a broken right wrist, a concussion, and facial lacerations. The game was paused for approximately 23

minutes as medical personnel attended to Wells, who was then stretchered off the court and transported to Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center. He was released the following day and is expected to make a full recovery, though he is likely to miss the remainder of the 2024–25 NBA season. (New York Post, Basketball Forever, Reuters)
