Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke will have his right quadriceps injury re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced Tuesday.

Clarke suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Already without starting power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. because of a knee sprain, Clarke's absence leaves the Grizzlies with a lack of depth up front as the stretch run approaches.

The Canadian is averaging 12 points with a 64.8 effective field-goal percentage, along with 5.8 rebounds in 50 games this season.

Memphis currently has a 2 1/2-game cushion over the Portland Trail Blazers for the Western Conference's eighth seed.
