Brandon Clarke plays 21 minutes in season debut
Brandon Clarke (left Achilles tendon repair) finished Wednesday’s 136-124 loss to the Lakers with six points (3-of-7 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 21 minutes.
Advice: Not only was Wednesday’s game Clarke’s first of the season, but he had also not played since rupturing his Achilles during a loss to the Nuggets on March 3, 2023. His ability to play 21 minutes is especially encouraging, as Clarke averaged 19.5 in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 campaigns. Fantasy managers should not expect much from Clarke, who’s rostered in two percent of Yahoo leagues. But the opportunities to produce will be there, especially with the Grizzlies being as shorthanded as they are.
