Brandon Clarke, the Memphis Grizzlies forward, tragically passed away at the age of 29. The team and his agency, Priority Sports, announced his death, expressing their heartbreak and emphasizing his impact on both the organization and the Memphis community. Drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2019, Clarke was traded to the Grizzlies shortly after and became a key player over his seven-year career. He made the NBA's All-Rookie Team and averaged 12.1 points and 5.9 rebounds in his rookie season. Clarke signed a four-year, $52 million extension in October 2022, but injuries, including a torn Achilles, limited his playing time in recent seasons, with only two appearances this season due to calf and knee issues. The NBA and Grizzlies community mourn his loss, remembering him as a passionate player and a beloved teammate.
