The 2023-24 season for the Memphis Grizzlies was a complete disaster due to injuries, with over 30 players playing some sort of minutes for them as they landed the ninth pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. It was a blessing for them, however, leading them to landing two of the top rookies this season in Jaylen Wells and Zach Edey.

Memphis might not have the best roster in the Western Conference, but they might have the deepest one. However, injuries have continued to linger for the team this season, as Memphis just announced they are set to be without one of their top rotational pieces for the remainder of the season.

Grizzlies say Brandon Clarke will miss the rest of the season with a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee.
