The NBA playoff season was overshadowed by heartbreaking news on Tuesday. Insider Shams Charania reported the death of Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke, who was 29 years old.
Throughout his career, Clarke, a Canadian national, played alongside several French players. In college at Gonzaga, he was teammates with Killian Tillie and Joël Ayayi. This past season, Rayan Rupert and Adama Bal were his colleagues on the Grizzlies. Beyond his on-court intensity, Clarke was recognized for his dedication to the Memphis community.
The cause of death has not yet been officially confirmed, but TMZ has suggested an overdose. BasketEurope extends its deepest condolences to all those affected by this profound loss.
