Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke will undergo a procedure to address knee synovitis and is expected to be reevaluated in six weeks, sources told ESPN on Friday.

Clarke missed the final month of the 2024-25 season with a posterior cruciate ligament sprain, which has fully healed without surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery but will miss at least the first few weeks of the regular season.

Knee synovitis is an issue affecting the lining of the knee joint.

Clarke has dealt with a number of lower body injuries in his career. Along with this latest issue and the PCL strain, he tore his left Achilles tendon late in the 2022-23 season and missed most of the following year.

The 28-year-old Clarke played in 64 games last season and averaged 8.3 points and 5.1 rebounds over 18.9 minutes. He has two years and $25 million left on his contract.
