Clarke agreed to the deal just ahead of deadline for rookie
scale deals for 2019 draftees, which is Monday at 6 p.m. ET.
It's been a busy offseason for Memphis, as it extended star
point guard Ja Morant back in July on a five-year deal worth up
to $231 million, while veteran center Steven Adams signed a
two-year, $25.2 million extension earlier this month.
Clarke, 26, averaged 10.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists
last season in 64 games mostly off the bench.
In his three seasons with the Grizzlies, Clarke has averaged
10.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 59.1
percent from the field over 181 games (21 starts).
