Brandon Clarke suffered the injury while attempting free-throws. He went to go chase down a rebound and instantly began grabbing for the back of his leg.

Clarke, 26, was in the midst of his fourth season with the Grizzlies. In 56 games this year, he averaged 10.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

This is a devastating blow for the Grizzlies as they prepare for the postseason. Clarke was a key rotational piece and solidified Memphis' frontcourt depth behind Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr.
