The Grizzlies
announced Wednesday that Clarke is progressing well in his recovery from a Grade 2 right calf strain and is expected to return to action in 4-to-6 weeks.
ANALYSIS
Clarke suffered the injury Dec. 20 and has already missed the Grizzlies' last 11 games. Based on the team's latest update, Clarke's absence looks set to extend through the All-Star break, but he could be ready to play shortly after the Grizzlies begin their second-half schedule. Before going down with the calf injury, Clarke had made just two appearances all season for the Grizzlies, as his 2025-26 campaign got off to a delayed start after he required a Sept. 26 procedure to address right knee synovitis.
