NBA前锋布兰登·克拉克于2026年5月11日在洛杉矶圣费迪南多谷的一处住宅卧室内被发现无反应，随后被宣布死亡[1]。洛杉矶当局医学检查官裁定其死亡为意外，死因系海洛因和可卡因的共同作用，多种处方药物亦被列为重要贡献因素[1]。
现年29岁的克拉克是加拿大籍球员，效力于孟菲斯灰熊队[1]。他在2019年以首轮秀身份被选中，职业生涯共出战309场比赛，场均得分10.2分[1]。在2025-26赛季中，克拉克因伤仅出战两场比赛[1]。据悉，他曾在一个月前因超速和持有管制物品在阿肯色州被捕[1]。
Brandon Clarke, a forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, was found unresponsive in a bedroom of a residence in San Fernando Valley on May 11, 2026, and was subsequently pronounced dead [1]. The 29-year-old Canadian player's death has been ruled accidental by Los Angeles medical examiners, who determined that the combined effects of heroin and cocaine were responsible [1]. Multiple prescription medications were also identified as significant contributing factors to his death [1].
Clarke had appeared in only two games during the 2025-26 season due to injury [1]. Over his NBA career, the first-round draft pick from 2019 played in 309 games and averaged 10.2 points per game [1]. Approximately one month before his death, Clarke was arrested in Arkansas on charges related to speeding and possession of a controlled substance [1].
