Report: Grizzlies extend F Brandon Clarke

Forward Brandon Clarke has reached agreement on a four-year, $52 million contract extension with the Memphis Grizzlies, ESPN reported Sunday.

Clarke agreed to the deal just ahead of deadline for rookie scale deals for 2019 draftees, which is Monday at 6 p.m. ET.

It's been a busy offseason for Memphis, as it extended star point guard Ja Morant back in July on a five-year deal worth up to $231 million, while veteran center Steven Adams signed a two-year, $25.2 million extension earlier this month.

Clarke, 26, averaged 10.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists last season in 64 games mostly off the bench.

In his three seasons with the Grizzlies, Clarke has averaged 10.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 59.1 percent from the field over 181 games (21 starts).
