Clarke (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Clarke spent most of the season recovering from an Achilles injury, and while he made his season debut on March 27, he won't play in the final game of the campaign due to a contusion. The Grizzlies won't risk Clarke in a meaningless game, as the team has been out of playoff contention for quite some time now. Clarke ends the 2023-24 season with averages of 11.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 22.3 minutes per game in six appearances (one start).

Clarke (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Clarke spent most of the season recovering from an Achilles injury, and while he made his season debut on March 27, he won't play in the final game of the campaign due to a contusion. The Grizzlies won't risk Clarke in a meaningless game, as the team has been out of playoff contention for quite some time now. Clarke ends the 2023-24 season with averages of 11.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 22.3 minutes per game in six appearances (one start).
Clarke has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Lakers due to a right hand contusion. Clarke was unavailable Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to left Achilles injury management, and he'll sit out Friday due to a hand issue. The Grizzlies continue to deal with multiple absences late in the year, and Clarke's final chance to return during the regular season will be Sunday against the Nuggets.
Clarke won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to left Achilles injury management, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Since making his season debut March 27 following a 12-plus-month recovery from surgery to repair a torn Achilles' tendon, Clarke has appeared in six of the Grizzlies' last seven games, averaging 11.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 22.3 minutes. His lone absence during that stretch came in the front end of a back-to-back set, and he'll be in street clothes Wednesday after playing 27 minutes while making his first start of the season in Tuesday's 102-87 loss to the Spurs. With Clarke and Jaren Jackson (quadricep) sidelined Wednesday, among several others, the Grizzlies will likely be forced to rely heavily on Trey Jemison, Jack White, Timmy Allen and Lamar Stevens (groin) to fill minutes in the frontcourt.
Clarke is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs. Clarke will replace Maozinha Pereira (contract expired) in the starting five Tuesday. Clarke has made five appearances since returning from a torn Achilles and is averaging 10.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks in 21.4 minutes.
Clarke (rest) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers, according to Memphis reporter KJ Wright. Clarke was held out for rest Friday against the Pistons, but he's officially back in action Saturday. The forward is averaging 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks through four games.
Clark is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with the 76ers due to left Achilles maintenance. Clarke made his season debut on March 27 and subsequently played four-straight games. He sat out Memphis' previous game for rest purposes but is in danger of missing his second straight, as the Grizzlies could opt to again err on the side of caution. More clarity on his status should come closer to tipoff.
Clarke (rest) won't suit up for Friday's game against the Pistons. Friday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Clarke will take the night off as he continues to work himself back from the Achilles injury. With Clarke unavailable, expect more minutes for Jake LaRavia and Lamar Stevens, with LaRavia being the more attractive target between the two.
Clarke registered 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 118-88 loss to the Magic. This was Clarke's second appearance of the season, as he's making his way back from an Achilles injury suffered in March last year, and while he might look a bit rusty due to the fact he spent almost an entire year without playing in The Association, the early signs have been quite encouraging. Clarke has scored in double digits in his two outings so far, shooting a combined 9-for-16 from the field while racking up nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 41 total minutes.
Clarke closed Wednesday's 136-124 loss to the Lakers with six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes. Clarke tore his Achilles in early March last season and needed over a year to recover before he was able to return to NBA action. The Gonzaga product was able to give Memphis 21 minutes off the bench in his season debut, and he recorded a team-best plus-15 point differential while he was on the court. Given his long layoff, Clarke doesn't figure to see minutes much higher than the amount he played Wednesday, especially with the Grizzlies out of playoff contention.
