The Memphis Grizzlies, along with the player’s agent and the NBA, have confirmed the heartbreaking passing of forward Brandon Clarke at just 29 years old. The official cause of death has not yet been determined, though U.S. media reports indicate that law enforcement discovered drug paraphernalia at his residence.
Clarke entered the NBA through the 2019 draft and spent his entire seven-year career with the Grizzlies, averaging 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He had one year remaining on his contract, worth $12.5 million. His sudden death has sent shockwaves through the basketball community.
Former teammate Kyle Anderson (Li Kaier) expressed deep sorrow, writing: “Brother, my heart is shattered. I love you so much. I wish I could have been there with you. I can’t accept this news.”
