Clarke was born in Vancouver, started college at San Jose State and became a national name in one season at Gonzaga in 2018-19: 16.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.3 blocks, a school-record 117 blocks, a 36-point NCAA tournament game against Baylor and an Elite Eight run beside Rui Hachimura. Oklahoma City drafted him 21st in 2019 and sent his rights to Memphis, where he was Summer League MVP, made the All-Rookie First Team and averaged 12.1 points as a rookie on rim-level finishing. A torn Achilles in March 2023 cut into his final seasons, and he played two games in 2025-26. He died on May 11, 2026, at 29, having spent all seven NBA seasons with the Grizzlies.
