The cause and manner of death of former Memphis Grizzlies player Brandon Clarke have been confirmed nearly three months after he was found unresponsive at his California home.
According to an Aug. 7 report from the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner, Clarke died from the effects of heroin and cocaine. His death was ruled accidental.
Paramedics responded to his San Fernando-area home at around 5 p.m. on May 11 and found the 29-year-old in his bedroom. He was pronounced dead about 15 minutes later.
Law enforcement previously told NBC Los Angeles that drug paraphernalia was found at the residence, leading investigators to consider an overdose. Clarke’s death certificate also noted the presence of the combined effects of multiple prescription medications.
Clarke spent seven seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies after being selected in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft.
Before entering the NBA, the Canadian-American played high school basketball in Phoenix and later attended San Jose State and Gonzaga. He helped lead his high school team to a state championship and earned newcomer of the year recognition during his college career.
Clarke appeared in only two games during the 2025-26 season because of injuries.
