28-year-old Brandon Clarke, who began his NBA journey with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2019, pretty much shares his professional endeavors on his social media handle, but he has concealed his relationship status so far.
Whenever he interacts with the media, he only talks about his rising basketball career and never lets the media invade his personal life. Born on September 19, 1996, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Brandon always aspired to become an athlete.
As a result, he started playing basketball very young, and when he reached high school, he had already achieved a milestone, becoming one of the state’s top shot blockers.
During his collegiate career, too, he succeeded in building several records, including First-team All-Mountain West and Mountain West All-Defensive Team. Eventually, in 2019, he was drafted into the NBA, marking the beginning of his bright future in mainstream sports.
Since then, Brandon Clarke has constantly been under the media’s gaze, but he has neither sparked any relationship rumors nor publicly mentioned anyone as his girlfriend. Well, that seems to have led one part of the audience to believe he is single.
Indeed, he has stayed mum about his girlfriend, but his audience is pretty familiar with his relationship with his mother, Whitney Triplett.
Brandon Clarke said his mother, Whitney, is the ‘most amazing person’ he has in his life!
