KJ Simpson Rumors

Rod Boone: Jaylen Wells leaving the court on a stretcher as stunned Memphis teammates try to gather themselves to finish this game leading 62-44 with 1 minute left in first half. Foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 and KJ Simpson was ejected.

Sam Perley: KJ Simpson has been assessed a Flagrant-2 foul and been ejected from the game. Looks like he lost his balance/got turned around getting back in transition and inadvertently clipped Wells mid-air, causing the awkward fall. Simpson looked pretty shaken, no ill intentions at all.

“I think he’s improved his ability to get downhill, he’s a really good passer, too, and I think we got to see last game (against Toronto) his ability to also shoot off the dribble if you go under a screen, So, very dynamic, multi-faceted in a pick-and-roll situation. I think also having, too, just having bigs come up and screen for him a little bit at halfcourt to give him a little bit of pressure release is also another way we can help him bring it up.” Whenever Simpson goes through a tough moment, all he has to do is draw on that inner strength he gained with playoff-bound Greensboro, doing what he can to transform into that same player whose self-assurance was reinforced during every dribble as a member of the Swarm.
