Brandon Clarke News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies | FOX Sports

Blocks three shots in win Clarke finished Friday's 130-99 win over the Hornets with 13 points (4-7 FG, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 16 minutes.

Impact Clarke came through with a solid performance in the win, although his playing time, or lack thereof, remains a concern. He is currently averaging just 16.7 minutes per game, placing him well outside the top 150 in standard formats. Despite a proven ability to put up top-100 value, there is simply too much uncertainty to warrant holding him outside of deeper leagues.

Not on injury report Clarke (hand) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Clarke seemed to injure his hand late in Monday's game against the Jazz, but he's fine for Wednesday. With Steven Adams (jaw) and Jake LaRavia (illness) questionable, Clarke could see more minutes.

May have injured hand Monday Clarke didn't see the floor for the final 13:30 of Monday's 121-105 loss to the Jazz due to an apparent hand or finger injury, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Memphis didn't provide an update on Clarke's condition after the game, but the big man was spotted with his hand covered by a towel as he checked out of the game with 1:30 left in the third quarter. The Grizzlies' injury report thus warrants monitoring in advance of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, as Clarke's fantasy managers aim to get a better sense of his availability for that contest. If none of Clarke, Jake LaRavia (illness) and Steven Adams (jaw) are ready to play Wednesday, the Grizzlies could hand heavy minutes to Santi Aldama, Xavier Tillman and Kenneth Lofton in the frontcourt.

Back on track in win Clarke accumulated 16 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Thursday's 125-110 victory over the Kings.

Impact Clarke had his second strong game in a row Thursday, slowly erasing the memory of what has been a rough start to the season. This certainly doesn't mean he is all the way back but it does at least give managers hope. There is a chance he was let go in a number of leagues and while it doesn't appear he is going to get more than about 22 minutes on most nights, he is worth considering if you have a spare roster spot.

Scores season-high 13 Clarke amassed 13 points (4-5 FG, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Monday's 134-124 victory over the Nets.

Impact Clarke was extremely efficient, but he provided little else. He hasn't seen a bump in usage amid the extended absence of Jaren Jackson (foot), instead surpassed by Santi Aldama. Clarke appears poised to hover around 20 minutes. Across his four NBA seasons, Clarke has averaged 10.9 points and 5.6 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game.

Limited production off bench Clarke finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and six rebounds across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 overtime victory over the Knicks.

Impact Clarke is expected to see increased run off the bench early in the 2022-23 campaign while Jaren Jackson (foot) is sidelined, but the Grizzlies leaned heavily on starter Santi Aldama in the frontcourt during Wednesday's overtime win to begin the regular season. Clarke was relatively efficient when on the court, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Aldama continue to have more of a featured role after he posted a double-double Wednesday.

Inks four-year extension with Grizz Clarke and the Grizzlies agreed to terms Sunday on a four-year extension worth roughly $52 million, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Entering his fourth NBA season, Clarke remains on his rookie deal, but the extension will kick in in 2023-24 and keep the former Gonzaga product in Memphis for the foreseeable future. Clarke has been a key bench piece since joining the Grizzlies in 2019-20, and he'll be particularly important early on this season while Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) recovers from offseason surgery. Clarke closed last season with averages of 10.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals in 19.5 minutes per contest.

Productive minutes Thursday Clarke amassed 16 points (5-8 FG, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 18 minutes in Thursday's 126-111 victory in Detroit.

Impact Clarke lived in the paint in his 18 minutes, grabbing five offensive rebounds and not attempting a shot beyond four feet. It was his best scoring night of the preseason and the second time he's reached double digits. He's averaging 19.0 minutes and 10.2 points on 54.2 percent shooting and is 14 for 17 from the charity stripe.
