Doubtful to return Clarke is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right calf soreness.

Impact Clarke picked up the calf injury in the first quarter of Saturday's contest, and he's unlikely to return. It was just his second game of the campaign after being sidelined while rehabbing from an offseason knee surgery. While he's sidelined, Santi Aldama and Jock Landale could see additional minutes.

Limited workload Wednesday Clarke had six points (2-7 FG, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Getting the start in his season debut after completing his recovery from knee surgery, Clarke was eased into action despite the absences of Ja Morant (ankle), Zach Edey (ankle) and other key rotation players for the Grizzlies. Clarke has had trouble staying on the court ever since being a first-round pick in 2019, so the team will likely be cautious with the 29-year-old center's workload as he gets his legs back under him.

Upgraded to questionable Clarke (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact After spending nearly two months in recovery mode due to offseason right knee surgery, Clarke appears to be on the cusp of making his season debut. The Grizzlies figure to have heavy restrictions in place for the 2019 first-rounder once he's cleared to hit the court, though. With Zach Edey (ankle) on the shelf, Clarke does have the opportunity to seize a key role in the Memphis frontcourt when he's eventually back up to speed.
