Clarke injured his knee during a March 19 game against the Trail Blazers. He has since been diagnosed with a high-grade right PCL sprain and will not play again this season. Clarke’s absence frees up additional minutes for Zach Edey and Santi Aldama, who were already prominent members of the Grizzlies rotation. John Konchar may also pick up playing time due to his rebounding ability, but Edey and Aldama are the players who fantasy managers should target (if they’re available).

Clarke checked into Wednesday’s game with 7:30 remaining in the first quarter and exited a little over five minutes later with a sore right knee. The Grizzlies announced that he was doubtful to return, and he did not see any more action. John Konchar (3/3/2/1/1 with one three-pointer in 20 minutes) started the second half in place of Zach Edey, and he may have the most to gain regarding playing time if Clarke remains sidelined.

Clarke and Williams have been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Grizzlies without two of their many options off the bench. John Konchar, Jay Huff or Marvin Bagley III may enter the rotation, but none will likely get the minutes needed to provide reliable streaming value. However, that would change if Ja Morant or Desmond Bane were also ruled out.
