Jaylen Wells News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Nets season-high 22 points in loss Wells accounted for 22 points (6-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 loss to Denver.

Impact Wells' hot streak continued Wednesday, as he set season highs in points and triples and he drilled all five of his freebies. He's been shooting the lights out over his past two outings, pouring in 36 points and nine treys on 11-for-21 shooting from the field and 9-for-15 from distance. He'll look to keep his foot on the gas pedal Friday in New Orleans.

Posts dud in loss Wells had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Wells failed to convert any of his three attempts from beyond the arc and battled foul trouble, picking up five personals. Despite retaining his starting role, he offered little offensive production while Cedric Coward and Ty Jerome carried Memphis' scoring load. Wells' limited contributions outside of scoring make nights like this particularly damaging to his fantasy value.

Quiet performance against Sacramento Wells logged four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 136-105 win over Sacramento.

Impact Wells had the opportunity to operate in an expanded role Saturday due to the absences of Ty Jerome (back) and Scotty Pippen (back). However, Wells attempted a season-low five field goals and failed to score in double digits for the first time in the 2026-27 season. Through six games in October, he averaged 12.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 threes over 27.2 minutes per contest.

Empty performance Thursday Wells logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and one rebound across 25 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Wells scored double digits for the fifth straight game to begin the season, but offered very little in terms of supporting numbers. While he is technically a top 100 player this season, he is averaging just 13.8 points, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 28.1 minutes per game. His overall value is being fueled by unsustainable shooting, currently sitting at 56.8 percent from the field. Looking forward, he should be viewed as nothing more than a points streamer, outside of deeper leagues.

Scores empty 14 points Monday Wells accumulated 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 30 minutes during Monday's 110-105 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Wells scored double digits for the fourth straight game to start the season, although he added very little in terms of peripheral numbers. Although he has recorded six steals in that time, four of those came in the season-opener. Despite seemingly having a consistent starter-level role, Wells should be seen as nothing more than a stream option for points and threes.

Strong start to season Wells notched 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Even with Cedric Coward back in the lineup, Wells maintained strong production Sunday. Wells has put up at least 12 points and four rebounds in each of his first three appearances, so he can be streaming in fantasy leagues while he's running a bit hot.

Snags four steals in win Wells posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and four steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-103 win over Utah.

Impact Wells made his presence felt defensively, collecting a game-high four steals while helping Memphis pull away in the second half. The third-year wing also grabbed three offensive rebounds and finished plus-25, the second-best mark among the Grizzlies' starters. Although Ty Jerome dominated the scoring opportunities, Wells' combination of playing time and defensive production gives him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Starting versus Utah Wells will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact The Grizzlies got a look at Kris Murray in the starting five in their preseason finale, though Wells will return to the first unit in the club's regular-season opener. The third-year wing took a bit of a step forward in 2025-26, averaging 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals across 26.4 minutes per game in 69 regular-season appearances.

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.
