Headed to bench Wells will come off the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Hornets.

Impact Wells started in Memphis' first three preseason games, but Kris Murray will replace him in the first unit for Friday's final exhibition. Wells will be battling Murray, Jerami Grant and GG Jackson for minutes this season, so this could devolve into a value-killing timeshare situation at the small forward position in Memphis.

Drains four threes Monday Wells supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and one steal across 17 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason win over the Hawks.

Impact All 12 of Wells' points came from beyond the arc, as he connected on four of six attempts from deep during his abbreviated outing. He didn't record a rebound or assist, but his perimeter shooting allowed him to make a significant offensive impact before his night ended. Wells started all 69 of his regular-season appearances in the 2025-26 campaign, and he'll look to maintain a prominent role on a Memphis roster featuring increased competition for minutes on the wing.

Fighting to keep starting spot Wells faces competition for a starting spot on the wings in Memphis to begin the 2026-27 season, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Jerami Grant, Cedric Coward and Cam Spencer are all competing with Wells for a starting spot on the wings. The 23-year-old swingman has started 143 of his 148 career regular-season appearances since being drafted by Memphis with the 39th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and he averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest across 69 regular-season games (all starts) in 2025-26. Even if he comes off the bench to begin the campaign, Wells should retain a meaningful role.

Fully participating in camp Wells (toe) has been a full participant to begin training camp, Grizzlies president of basketball operations Zach Kleiman said, according to Memphis reporter Landon Speck.

Impact Wells has been cleared for full basketball activities after undergoing toe surgery in March and is practicing without restrictions during camp. His availability should give him plenty of time to ramp up during the preseason while competing for a prominent role on the wing.

To maintain big role? Wells (toe) should continue competing for rotation minutes on the wing despite Memphis adding Cameron Boozer with the No. 3 overall pick.

Impact Wells' defensive ability and complementary skill set could help him carve out a role alongside the Grizzlies' established core. However, increased competition for minutes may make consistent opportunities more difficult to secure. In addition to Boozer, the Grizzlies also added forward Karim Lopez in the first round.
