Grizzlies forward-center Brandon Clarke injured, out for season

The Memphis Grizzlies today announced the following medical update for forward/center Brandon Clarke:

Clarke has been diagnosed with a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee, which he sustained during a fall to the floor in the first quarter of the Grizzlies’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on March 19.

Per the Memphis Commercial Appeal, “Clarke, who has appeared in 64 games this season, has been one of the Grizzlies’ best interior players. His defensive versatility and rim-running ability on offense led to averages of 8.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 62.1% shooting from the field in a career-low 18.9 minutes per game.”

Clarke is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season, and further updates will be provided after a treatment plan and timeline are set.
