MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies say forward Brandon Clarke tore his left Achilles tendon and will be out indefinitely. Clarke was injured Friday night in the Grizzlies' 113-97 loss to the Nuggets. He missed a free throw and started limping as he went up the court and fell at half-court. He was helped to the locker room without putting weight on his left leg. The 26-year-old is averaging 10.0 points in his fourth season with Memphis. The team says Clarke is expected to make a full recovery. His injury was announced the same day the NBA handed down a one-game suspension to fellow forward Dillon Brooks. Brooks got his 16th technical foul of the season on Friday night.
