The 2023-24 NBA season has been a challenging one for the Memphis Grizzlies. The team faced setbacks early on when superstar point guard Ja Morant was suspended for the first 25 games of the season. Despite his return providing a glimmer of hope, the team’s fortunes took a turn for the worse when Morant suffered a season-ending shoulder injury after just nine games.

Adding to their woes, key players like Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart have also been sidelined due to injuries, with Bane missing 31 games and Smart being limited to only 20 games. Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. has also faced injury setbacks, missing ten games during the season.

However, amidst the string of injuries, the Grizzlies have finally received some positive news. Brandon Clarke, who had been out of action for nearly a year due to a torn Achilles, is nearing a return to the court. This development marks a significant turnaround for the team, as Clarke’s potential comeback offers a much-needed boost to the Grizzlies’ lineup.

With Clarke’s potential return on the horizon, the Grizzlies and their fans are hopeful that his presence will provide a much-needed lift as they navigate the remainder of the season. As the team prepares to face Denver and the Lakers in the upcoming games, Clarke’s impending return brings a sense of optimism to a season that has been marred by injuries.
