Мемфис Гриззлис баг тавдугаар сарын 11-нд таалал төгссөн Брэндон Кларкийн дурсгалыг хүндэтгэн хувцас солих өрөөндөө тусгай хэсэг байгуулжээ.
Тус багийн төвийн тоглогч Зак Эди өөрийн цахим хуудсаараа дамжуулан “Брэндон Кларк 1996-2026, бидний зүрх сэтгэлд үүрд” гэсэн бичиг бүхий дурсгалын хэсгийг олон нийтэд үзүүлсэн байна. Энэхүү хэсэг нь Жэйлен Уэллс болон зургаадугаар сарын 29-нд Портлэнд Трэйл Блэйзерс рүү солигдсон Жэ Морант нарын зурагт хуудасны хажууд байрлажээ.
Гриззлис баг тавдугаар сард гаргасан мэдэгдэлдээ Брэндон Кларкийн гэнэтийн үхэлд гүнээ харамсаж байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн юм. Тэд Брэндоныг шилдэг багийн анд, гайхалтай хүн байсныг онцлоод, түүний баг болон Мемфис хотын нийгэмлэгт оруулсан хувь нэмрийг хэзээ ч мартахгүй хэмээн дурссан байна.
Брэндон Кларк нь 2019 оны NBA-ийн драфтын 21 дэх сонголтоор Оклахома Сити Тандерт нэрлэгдэж байсан ч драфтын өдөр Мемфис Гриззлис рүү солигдсон юм. Тэрээр карьерынхаа туршид Мемфис Гриззлис багт хүчин зүтгэсэн бөгөөд коллежийн түвшинд Сан Хосе Стэйт болон Гонзага их сургуулиудад амжилттай тоглож байв.

The Memphis Grizzlies continue to mourn the loss of 29-year-old Brandon Clarke, who died on May 11.
The team’s latest tribute to the late-power forward included a tribute memorial in his honor, placed in the Grizzlies locker room at FedEx Forum located in Memphis, Tennessee.
Grizzlies center Zach Edey posted a picture to his social media page on Instagram where he revealed a depiction of a memorial that reads, “Brandon Clarke 1996-2026 Forever in our hearts”.
The memorial is next to enlarged poster images of Jaylen Wells and former Grizzlies point guard, Ja Morant, who was traded to the Portland Trail Blazer on June 29.

“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Brandon Clarke,” the Grizzlies announced in a May tweet. “Brandon was an outstanding teammate and an even better person whose impact on the organization and the greater Memphis community will not be forgotten. We express our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
Remembering Brandon Clarke
Clarke was the No. 21 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, originally selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He spent his entire career with the Grizzlies following a trade to Memphis on July 7, 2019.
Clarke was born in Vancouver and moved to the United States when he was 3. He grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, where he eventually starred at Desert Vista High School.
“Sad day,” Sam Duane Jr., who coached Corona del Sol to that 2015 state championship win over Desert Vista,told the Arizona Republic.“Brandon was a tremendous player, elite competitor. He played with great passion and intensity, while, at the same time, respected his opponents and the game. He was extremely hard to compete against, but easy to root for.”
Clarke went on to play at San Jose State, where he earned the Mountain West Conference Sixth Man of the Year as a freshman. After playing his sophomore season in the Bay Area, he transferred to Gonzaga and spent his final two collegiate seasons with the Bulldogs.
