The Memphis Grizzlies will likely be without forward Brandon Clarke for the rest of the 2024-25 regular season after he suffered a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee.
🏀 Injury Update:
Clarke went down in the first quarter of Wednesday’s loss to Portland, falling awkwardly on a play that led to the injury. The Grizzlies announced Saturday that he will miss significant time, with a more precise return timeline dependent on his treatment plan.
Clarke’s Impact & Grizzlies’ Playoff Push
Clarke has been a key piece in the Grizzlies’ rotation, appearing in 64 games—third-most on the team behind rookie Jaylen Wells (71) and Scotty Pippen Jr. (69).

🔹 Career Stats: 10.2 PPG | 5.6 RPG | 57.5 FG%
The Grizzlies (5th in the West, 43-28) have lost three straight games and are just one game back of Denver for the No. 4 seed. With 11 games left, Memphis will need Jaren Jackson Jr. and Xavier Tillman to step up in Clarke’s absence as they fight for playoff positioning.
