Brandon Clarke Plays Just Four Minutes Due To Hip Soreness
5 years agoMemphis Grizzlies rookie power forward/center Brandon Clarke got the start on Monday for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. but was unable to make the most of the opportunity, as he exited the game just minutes into action with hip soreness. The popular DFS pick on the night managed just a single rebound in his minutes of action and this led to Gorgui Dieng picking up some of the slack. Josh Jackson also got some extra run with 26 minutes and he scored 14 points with five rebounds and two blocks. Stay tuned for updates on Clarke with the severity of the injury being a bit unknown.

Brandon Clarke Cleared To Play Against Jazz
3 weeks agoMemphis 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
2 months agoMemphis 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.
