Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke has died, his agency, Priority Sports, announced on May 12.

He was 29 years old.

He signed a four-year, $50 million contract extension with Memphis in 2022.

Following his contract extension, Clarke began to struggle with the injury bug. He played in just six games during the 2023-24 season due to a torn Achilles and missed all but two games this past season due to calf and knee issues.

Clarke’s agency, Priority Sports, confirmed the news in a social-media post Tuesday. The agency’s full post read:
