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.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is already absent from the Grizzlies due to a sprained left knee he suffered in Friday night’s loss to the Lakers. He is set to be re-evaluated within the next two weeks.
Clarke, who stands at 6-foot-8, has participated in 50 games, averaging 12 points and 21.7 minutes of play. He earned the MVP title in the 2019 Summer League, and was also the championship game MVP when Memphis claimed their first Las Vegas summer league championship.
