Damichael Cole: Brandon Clarke has been released and bonded out of jail

Brandon Clarke has one year remaining on his current deal after this season. He signed a four-year, $52 million extension in 2022 that runs through 2026–27. In today’s NBA, an expiring contract often signals flexibility — or expendability. If Memphis does not plan to extend Clarke, it could explore moving his contract this summer or ahead of next season’s trade deadline. That decision may ultimately depend on what the Grizzlies do in the draft, how they reshape the roster, and/or Clarke's legal situation.

Lucas Finton: Clarke has been charged with the following: - Trafficking a controlled substance - Possession of a controlled substance - Fleeing in a vehicle exceeding the speed limit - Improper passing. Follow @memphisnews and @DamichaelC and I for updates.

Memphis Grizzlies player Brandon Clarke has been arrested and booked in Cross County, Arkansas, records from the Cross County Sheriff's Office show. Records show Clarke was booked on April 1, just after 1 p.m. It was not clear what charges Clarke was being detained on at the time of publication, with the booking profile saying Clarke was being held on a "CID hold."
