Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (knee) will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Clarke suffered a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee which will keep him sidelined. That means the 28-year-old will finish the season with averages of 8.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game across 64 appearances (18 starts). His minutes will likely get split up between Vince Williams Jr., Zach Edey, and Jay Huff until GG Jackson II comes back from his G League assignment. Williams and Edey are the most consistent of this group, especially for fantasy managers looking for points and rebounds.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (knee) won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Clarke suffered a right knee injury during Wednesday's game against Portland. He played only five minutes in the contest, posting zero points and one rebound. His next chance to return to the court is Tuesday against the Jazz. While the 28-year-old is out of action, Zach Edey and Marvin Bagley will take on the available minutes at center. .
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (knee) has been cleared to return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. He missed Monday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns due to knee soreness and was also iffy for Wednesday when the team initially listed Clarke as questionable on the injury report. The Grizzlies frontcourt is currently without Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf), giving Clarke an opportunity to contribute more than usual. This month, Clarke has upped his numbers to 10.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks.
Brandon Clarke Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies power forward Brandon Clarke (back) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Clarke missed Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs and is in danger of missing a second straight game for Memphis as he deals with back soreness. The 28-year-old has played in 46 games this season and has missed three due to injury. This season, Clarke has averaged 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. He'll remain in his reserve role if he is cleared. If Clarke is not cleared to play, Santi Aldama, Jay Huff and Zach Edey should see an increase in playing time.
Brandon Clarke Available To Play Friday Against Sacramento
Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (calf) is available to return after a two-game absence due to a calf issue as the Grizzlies visit the Kings. He missed the Grizz's last two games but has played 31 games this season, averaging 18.4 minutes per contest. He has been one of the first big men off the bench for Memphis and is averaging 7.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 steals per contest. He could have possibly started while Zach Edey (concussion) was also sidelined for the last two games, but both big men will return to the rotation together on Friday night after being upgraded from questionable.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix. He will miss a second consecutive game due to a right soleus strain. The Grizzlies are carrying a number of injuries and look to be very shorthanded for Tuesday's contest. Jay Huff and Colin Castleton have entered the frontcourt rotation recently and will work alongside Jaren Jackson Jr as the lone big men for Memphis on Tuesday.
Brandon Clarke Questionable For Wednesday's Action
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (toe) could be out for the first time this season on Wednesday versus the Lakers, with the team listing him as questionable on the injury report. Clarke has been a starter for Memphis for the past couple of games, replacing Zach Edey. However, he's not had a big impact in the role, averaging 7.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes. Edey might return to the starting unit if Clarke is out on Wednesday, although the team could also replace him with Marcus Smart (ankle), who is on the cusp of returning to the lineup.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed the previous game due to left Achilles injury management, but the injury report shows Clarke is dealing with a hand injury now. The 27-year-old has spent a large majority of the season recovering from last year's Achilles tear and has only played in six games since returning to action on March 27. It is great for Grizzlies fans to see their talented big man back on the court looking healthy, as he has averaged over 11 points per game while playing over 20 minutes in all six games. While he is out, expect Trey Jemison to lead the frontcourt.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. The 27-year-old hasn't played in over a year because of an Achilles tear that required surgery. Since then, he's been working his way back and has flirted with returning over the last few games. The Grizzlies could certainly use him, primarily since the roster is loaded with injuries. Although there's a realistic chance Clarke will be limited in his first game back, there's no denying his upside, especially when you consider his DFS rostering cost.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) has been upgraded to questionable with just 10 games left in the season. Wednesday, the Grizzlies are set to meet the Lakers, with Clarke potentially playing after rehabbing a torn Achilles for over a year. Clarke finished last season with averages of 10.0 points and 5.5 rebounds coming off the bench. The 27-year-old's minutes will obviously be limited if he suits up and he shouldn't be considered a fantasy option for the remainder of the season.
