孟菲斯灰熊队前锋布兰登·克拉克于5月因海洛因和可卡因作用去世，当局周五表示。
洛杉矶县法医部门表示，这位29岁篮球运动员的死亡属于意外。
克拉克于5月11日被发现死于洛杉矶附近的一处住宅内。在灰熊队宣布克拉克去世后，一位了解调查细节的匿名人士告诉美联社，警方在住宅内发现了毒品用具。该人士要求匿名，因为这些细节尚未公开。
克拉克当时与灰熊队的合同将持续到2026-27赛季。
在去世约六周前，克拉克在阿肯色州被捕，罪名是超速、鲁莽驾驶以及持有受管制物质。
官员们表示，克拉克当时驾驶一辆新款科尔维特，车速超过每小时100英里，随后被拦下。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在7月获取了该事件的随身摄像头录像。根据警方报告，警员搜查了克拉克的车辆，发现了几大袋透明胶囊，内含绿色粉末状物质。
录像显示，克拉克被铐在警车后座时对警员说：“只是 kratom（ kratom 即 kratom，克拉通，一种草本提取物）”，这是一种草本提取物。克拉通已被使用数百年，已知可帮助缓解疼痛。但在其新型加工形式中，怀疑论者将其称为“加油站海洛因”，因为它极易成瘾。
克拉克在贡萨加大学结束大学生涯后，在其整个7个职业赛季都效力于孟菲斯灰熊队。
他在过去三年大部分时间都因伤缺阵。2023年他跟腱断裂，2025年接受了两次右膝手术。刚过去的赛季，他因右小腿拉伤缺席比赛，球队当时表示他将赛季报销。

Memphis Grizzlies player Brandon Clarke died from effects of heroin and cocaine, officials say

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke died in May from the effects of heroin and cocaine, authorities said Friday.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner said the 29-year-old basketball player’s death was accidental.
Clarke was found dead inside a home near Los Angeles on May 11. A person familiar with the terms of the investigation told The Associated Press after the Grizzlies announced Clarke’s passing that drug paraphernalia was found at the residence. The person had spoken on condition of anonymity because those details had not been released publicly.
Clarke was under contract to be with the Grizzlies through the 2026-27 season.
About six weeks before he died, Clarke was arrested in Arkansas on charges of speeding, reckless driving and possessing a controlled substance.
Clarke was driving a new Corvette over 100 mph when he was pulled over, officials said. Bodycam video of the incident was obtained by CBS News in July. Officers searched Clarke’s car and found several large bags of clear capsules containing a green powdery substance, according to a police report.
While handcuffed in the back of the police vehicle, Clarke in the video told officers: “It’s just kratom,” which is a herbal extract. Kratom has been used for centuries and has been known to help manage pain. But in its new manufactured form, skeptics call kratom”gas station heroin” because it can be highly addictive.
Clarke was with Memphis for all seven of his pro seasons after finishing his college career at Gonzaga.
He spent much of the last three years injured. He tore his Achilles tendon in 2023 and underwent two procedures on his right knee in 2025. This past season, he missed games with a strained right calf and the team had said he was out for the season.
