Clarke has been sidelined since Dec. 20 and remains without a firm return timeline, keeping him off the fantasy radar in standard leagues. With Clarke, Zach Edey (ankle), and Santi Aldama (knee) still unavailable, Memphis continues to rely on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Taylor Hendricks, and GG Jackson II.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) will be sidelined for 4-6 more weeks, the team announced on Wednesday. He is reportedly progressing well in his recovery from a Grade 2 right calf strain.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) will be re-evaluated in three weeks, the team announced on Monday. He was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right calf strain. It's an awful blow for the 29-year-old big man, as Clarke has already spent the majority of the season on the sidelines. After having offseason knee surgery, Clarke was finally cleared to return to action last week. He played only two contests before landing back on the shelf. With Zach Edey (ankle) also out, Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Jock Landale will handle the bulk of the work in the frontcourt. On Monday, Memphis also brought in Christian Koloko on a 10-day deal for additional depth.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) will be absent on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After recovering from offseason knee surgery, Clarke made his season debut last week, but he suffered a calf strain in only his second appearance. Santi Aldama started the second half in Clarke's place on Saturday against the Washington Wizards and will probably remain in the first unit on Monday. Although Aldama is productive coming off the bench, his scoring numbers typically improve as a starter. Across five starting appearances this season, Aldama has notched 16.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) exited early and did not return against Washington, finishing with two points, three rebounds, one steal, and four minutes. The setback comes as Clarke was still ramping up after a lengthy layoff that has already cost him 26 games this season, keeping his role unstable. With Clarke sidelined, Santi Aldama and Jock Landale are positioned for steadier frontcourt minutes, while Jaren Jackson Jr. continues to anchor usage and closing duties. Clarke remains off the standard-league radar until he can string together consistent availability.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (knee) is available to make his season debut on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team has upgraded his status from questionable to available. Clarke has been out so far due to offseason knee surgery.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (knee) continues to inch closer to his season debut and may be ready for action on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the team has upgraded his status from doubtful to questionable on the injury report. Clarke had right knee surgery during the offseason. Currently, he would make for a vital addition to the Grizzlies' frontcourt, as Zach Edey (ankle) won't be available for several weeks. If Clarke can't make his return on Wednesday night, his next opportunity will come on Saturday against the Washington Wizards.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke had an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee this past offseason, and he is starting to ramp up his basketball activities, according to the team's medical update. Clarke still has a long way to go, though, and is expected to return to play in six to nine weeks, putting his return around Christmas at the earlier end and mid-January at the outside edge. The Grizzlies are also without Zach Edey (ankle) right now, leaving Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Jock Landale to fill time at center. Edey should be back well before Clarke, and Clarke will likely back up Edey when he's ready to get back into the mix further down the road.

The Memphis Grizzlies took another hit to their already thin front court, as power forward Brandon Clarke (knee) is set to undergo a procedure to address knee synovitis and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, putting his status for the start of the season in doubt. With Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey also sidelined, Memphis enters the start of the year dangerously short on big men. This puts added pressure on Ja Morant to shoulder more of the load offensively, while Santi Aldama should see a major bump in minutes. Aldama proved capable last season, averaging 12.5 points and 6.4 rebounds in 16 starts, making him a strong short-term fantasy option until the Grizzlies regain front court depth.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (knee) will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

That means the 28-year-old will finish the season with averages of 8.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game across 64 appearances (18 starts). His minutes will likely get split up between Vince Williams Jr., Zach Edey, and Jay Huff until GG Jackson II comes back from his G League assignment. Williams and Edey are the most consistent of this group, especially for fantasy managers looking for points and rebounds.

The Grizzlies frontcourt is currently without Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf), giving Clarke an opportunity to contribute more than usual.

Clarke has been a starter for Memphis for the past couple of games, replacing Zach Edey. However, he's not had a big impact in the role, averaging 7.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed the previous game due to left Achilles injury management, but the injury report shows Clarke is dealing with a hand injury now. The 27-year-old has spent a large majority of the season recovering from last year's Achilles tear and has only played in six games since returning to action on March 27. It is great for Grizzlies fans to see their talented big man back on the court looking healthy, as he has averaged over 11 points per game while playing over 20 minutes in all six games. While he is out, expect Trey Jemison to lead the frontcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) will suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. The 27-year-old hasn't played in over a year because of an Achilles tear that required surgery. Since then, he's been working his way back and has flirted with returning over the last few games. The Grizzlies could certainly use him, primarily since the roster is loaded with injuries. Although there's a realistic chance Clarke will be limited in his first game back, there's no denying his upside, especially when you consider his DFS rostering cost.
