Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke has died, his sports agency announced in a statement released on Tuesday, May 12. He was 29 years old. Clarke's sudden death comes almost six weeks after he was arrested in Arkansas for improper passing, possession of a controlled substance, fleeing and exceeding the speed limit and trafficking a controlled substance. He had just finished his seventh NBA season, all of which he spent with the GrizzliesClarke was the No. 21 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft out of Gonzaga and enjoyed initial success in the league, earning all-rookie honors while averaging a career-high 12.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. He signed a four-year, $50 million contract extension with Memphis in 2022.
But Clarke's career had been derailed in recent years by injuries. He played in just six games during the 2023-24 season due to a torn Achilles and missed all but two games this past season due to calf and knee ailments. RIP

Troubling speculation online but nothing confirmed.

I have a guess. Sad situation all around for a young guy that had everything in front of him if he could just keep it together.

Obviously no one died here, but it was hard for my mind not to go to Kyren Lacy here.
Regardless, an awful situation.

Ever heard the saying, "Money doesn't buy happiness."
There's a reason it exists.
