A scary moment occurred in Tuesday's game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Hornets as rookie Jaylen Wells was stretched off the court after a nasty fall.

Wells was about to cash in on a breakaway dunk with just over a minute left in the second quarter at the Spectrum Center when Hornets guard KJ Simpson undercut him as he was in the air. Wells hit the floor hard and didn't immediately get up. His Memphis teammates rushed to check on him.

It quickly got silent in the arena as a stretcher made its way onto the court and the Grizzlies' medical team and emergency service members attended to Wells.
