Brandon Clark out at least 3 weeks with a calf strain
The The Memphis Grizzlies were up and down so far this season, he currently sits at 13-15 ahead of a tough Monday night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Grizzlies have dealt with numerous injuries this year, including Ja Morantwho was in and out of the lineup due to various illnesses during the 2025-26 season.
Unfortunately, the Grizzlies won more bad news on the injury front Monday afternoon regarding a key member of their frontcourt.
“The Grizzlies say Brandon Clarke suffered a Grade 2 right calf strain in Saturday’s game against Washington and will be re-evaluated in approximately 3 weeks,” ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel reported on X, formerly Twitter.
Clark just made his season debut for the Grizzlies a few days ago after suffering a second injury, and played just two games for Memphis this season before going down after the latest setback.
Injuries have been a big problem for Clark throughout his NBA career thus far, including early Achilles injuries and other setbacks.
Fortunately, this calf strain doesn’t appear to be too serious, and as Siegel mentioned, he’ll be re-evaluated within a month, so a return to the lineup relatively soon isn’t out of the question.
Overall, the Grizzlies have slowly but surely started to turn things around as of late, with unsung heroes like Cam Spencer and Jalen Wells contributing to the team as they look to shake off a poor start to the season.
The Grizzlies and Thunder will tip off at 9:30 PM ET.
