Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke has died, according to the team, his agency and the NBA. He was 29. A person familiar with the terms of the ongoing investigation said an autopsy was planned to determine the exact cause of his death. His agents, Priority Sports, wrote on social media that they were “beyond devastated” by Clarke’s death. Clarke was arrested April 1 in Arkansas for speeding and possession of a controlled substance and released on bond a day later. He was the 21st overall pick out of Gonzaga in the 2019 NBA draft by Oklahoma City. Clarke was on the NBA’s All-Rookie team in 2020 but injuries limited him to 72 of 246 games the past three seasons.
