MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis rookie forward Brandon Clarke hurt his right quadriceps and will be re-valuated in two weeks.
On Tuesday night, the Grizzlies updated Clarke’s status.
Clarke left Monday night’s 124-97 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers after playing only three minutes with what was called hip soreness. The Grizzlies said further tests showed an injury to Clarke’s right quadriceps.
The Grizzlies are already missing Jaren Jackson Jr. who sprained his left knee in the loss against the Lakers on Friday night. He is set to be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Clarke, who stands at 6-foot-8, has participated in 50 games, averaging 12 points and playing for approximately 21.7 minutes. In 2019, he was crowned the Most Valuable Player of the Summer League and also the MVP of the championship game, leading Memphis to their first-ever victory in the Las Vegas summer league title.
