Jaylen Wells News: Posts team-high 23 points in loss

Wells recorded 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and two assists in 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers.

Wells took on an enhanced role with Ja Morant (calf) out of the lineup, and early struggles from Memphis' frontcourt also boosted his numbers. Wells' 23 points marked his second-highest scoring total of the season. The second-year pro has been a consistent presence, logging perfect attendance and starting all of the team's 35 games thus far.
