Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke has died at age 29. His agency announced the news Tuesday afternoon, with the cause of death still under investigation by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
Clarke was selected 21st overall in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder before being traded to Memphis. He earned All-Rookie honors in his first season and became a key defensive player off the bench for the Grizzlies, helping the team reach the playoffs in 2022 with strong rebounding and finishing ability.
