Memphis Grizzlies Mourn Loss of Brandon Clarke

The Memphis Grizzlies organization is grieving following the passing of forward Brandon Clarke. Clarke, drafted by the Grizzlies as the 21st pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, spent his entire seven-season career with the team. Clarke’s time with the Grizzlies was marked by significant periods of injury.

He missed the beginning of the 2025/26 season due to recovery from a knee injury and subsequently missed the remainder of the season following a medial muscle injury sustained in December. “We are devastated by the tragic loss of Brandon Clarke,” the Grizzlies stated in an official statement. “He was an exceptional teammate and a better person, and his influence on the organization and the wider Memphis community will never be forgotten.

We extend our deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”

Clarke’s career was a testament to his dedication to the sport and his contributions to the Grizzlies. The organization is focused on supporting Clarke’s family and honoring his memory. —
