Even injured, Brandon Clarke couldn't contain himself after Ja Morant's buzzer beater! Convalescing, the Memphis power forward was one of the first to rush to the Memphis leader to congratulate him. Like Ja Morant for 25 matches, or even Steven Adams for the entire season, position 4, victim of a torn Achilles tendon last March, is one of the major absences on the Grizzlies side at the start of the season.
Fortunately for Memphis, Brandon Clarke is closer to the end of his rehabilitation than the beginning. On the sidelines of the meeting on Tuesday evening in Louisiana, he was able to confirm Andscape that his return to the game was indeed planned for mid-February, around the All-Star Break, in less than two months.
Boosted by the return of Ja Morant, he posted a video recorded on Wednesday where we see him perform his very first dunk since his injury. An important step in his rehabilitation. And it bodes well for the future!
