[MacMohan] Brandon Clarke had a second surgery on his Achilles – a clean-up that was elective – Maybe he’s back this season, maybe not – He may very well sit out whole season

Lol just realised the typo, this is from MacMahon* obviously.
I know a lot of us weren’t entirely expecting BC back this season but there was a glimmer of hope and this is a real kick in the teeth not only as a fan of the grizzlies but as a fan of Clarke. I hope his rehab has no more hiccups and it looks like the team is supportive of not rushing his return, regardless of how bare how big rotation may be.
We’re desperately going to miss his effort, who do you think steps up to fill that role this year? Roddy showed signs of the same sort of hustle last season, I only wish he was 4″ taller lol

I believe he will be ready to go somewhere between end of All star weekend and before playoffs, question is if the team is rolling do they integrate him back in

He is a player who relies on athleticism, him sitting until he is 100% only makes sense.

Never really thought he was coming back next year. Anything Clarke contributes would be gravy
Now 5 depth I am worried about…

That’s so bad after he showed his best against Minny. He couldve got a real bag and be insanely useful for us

If it adds back the last 5inches to his vertical leap, I’m all for it.

Im fine with Steven and X, no need to rush back

Think we’re going to have to make a trade for a back up 5/4. Unless Jenkins and FO are ready for KLJr to get those minutes

I don’t know from a medical perspective how significant an “elective clean up” surgical procedure is, but just by the language used, I’m guessing it probably had zero negative impact on his recovery timeline. We have no one on roster that exactly replicates his skill set but I think between JJJ, X, the new and improved FIBA-boosted Santi, spot minutes for Jr and the likely hopeful leap that a healthy Z makes, the fort can be held down. It may also force more use of (what have been very effective) lineups with Luke in them. He definitely will be missed but I think the roster is primed for “next man up.”
