Brandon Clarke Dies at Age 29
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke has died at age 29. LAPD sources told ABC News that Clarke died of a possible drug overdose on Monday, with narcotics found at the scene and no indication of foul play. The news of his death comes six weeks after Clarke was arrested for speeding and possession of a controlled substance. The incident occurred in Arkansas on April 1, a few days after it was announced that Clarke had been shut down for the rest of the season due to a calf injury. He was released on bond the following day. In 2019, Clarke was drafted out of Gonzaga as a first-round pick. He was named to the 2019-20 NBA All-Rookie First Team and spent his entire NBA career with the Grizzlies, appearing in 309 games. Clarke averaged 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
