Sending our condolences to Brandon’s family, friends and the Grizzlies organization. Via @Suns on X

What happened: The Phoenix Suns issued a public message of condolence to the family and friends of Brandon Clarke and to the Memphis Grizzlies organization. The statement follows the death of the 29-year-old Grizzlies forward, which the team and the NBA confirmed last month.

Why it matters: The message reflects a leaguewide outpouring of grief, echoing the statement NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued on Clarke's passing. Tributes from rival organizations underscore the regard Clarke earned across the NBA, and they extend the period of mourning well beyond Memphis.

What to watch: Memphis has not publicly detailed memorial or tribute plans, and additional statements from teams and players around the league are expected to continue.
