The Grizzlies
announced Monday that Clarke won't require surgery to address a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee and is expected to make a full recovery prior to the 2025-26 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Clarke suffered the injury March 19 and was ruled out for the remainder of the season a few days later, but the Grizzlies weren't immediately certain whether he would need surgery. However, after receiving several consultations, Clarke was recommended to undergo a non-operative treatment for the knee, which included an orthobiologic injection. Clarke will wrap up his sixth NBA season with averages of 8.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 18.9 minutes per game over 64 appearances.
