Basketball World Heartbroken Over Terrence Clarke News
Seeing such a young, talented athlete pass so suddenly and unexpectedly is excruciating. Only a teenager, Clarke impacted collegiate players, also up-and-coming recruits and current NBA standouts during his all-too-brief playing career.
The reaction to the news has been an overwhelming shock and sadness, and it's coming from all over the basketball ranks.
A five-star recruit and the No. 8 overall players in the 2020 class, Clarke enrolled at Kentucky and was an immediate contributor as a freshman. In his fourth college game, he scored 22 points in a loss to Georgia Tech and followed that up with 14 in a game against Notre Dame.
However, Clarke would appear in only two more games–losses to Louisville and North Carolina–before missing an extended period of time with an ankle injury. He returned to play 10 minutes in Kentucky’s SEC Tournament loss to Mississippi State.
Clarke was expected to be chosen at some point in this year’s NBA Draft. Instead, his playing career, and more importantly, his life, has been ended way too prematurely.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Clarke’s family, friends and former teammates, as well as the entire Kentucky basketball program during this time.
