Impact Clarke continued his role off the bench, with Zach Edey now locked in as the starting center. Although he was non-existent when it came to scoring the basketball, Clarke managed to record four defensive stats.

Impact Clarke continues to start for the Grizzlies but to this point, has struggled to deliver what might be considered adequate production. Since moving into the starting lineup, Clarke has scored double-digits only four times, recording six total blocks.
