Availability
The Grizzlies announced Wednesday that Clarke is making good progress from his Grade 2 right calf strain with an expected return timeline of four to six weeks. The forward has suited up for only two games this season after dealing with a knee issue before sustaining the calf injury.
Fantasy Impact
Clarke's recovery from the right calf strain is proceeding as hoped based on Memphis' latest update. The multi-week timeline keeps him sidelined following a season in which he'd already been limited to minimal action due to the earlier knee problem.
Brandon Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for the Grizzlies' game against the Bucks on Friday.

Brandon Clarke (knee) is without an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
Clarke previously missed some time due to a knee injury, but he made his return to the lineup on Wednesday and will be good to go moving forward. On Saturday, he will be primed for more work than usual with Vince Williams Jr. (knee) set to be sidelined against the Wizards.
Brandon Clarke (knee) will make his season debut Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Clarke will rejoin the Grizzlies lineup and provide depth for their frontcourt. With Ja Morant missing this game as well as other key pieces, Clarke may need to play more minutes than you’d expect coming back from a long injury absence. Still, he’s a speculative start at best for fantasy.
