Clarke had just signed with Klutch Sports on Wednesday in an attempt to enter the NBA draft and play in the league.
He was the No. 8 player in the 2021 recruiting class before he eventually chose to play at Kentucky. Unfortunately, his season was cut short and he played just eight games after suffering a leg injury.
He made six starts for the Wildcats, averaging 9.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
The sporting world has poured in with love and condolences for the Clarke family. Former Kentucky stars, such as Malik Monk, posted messages to social media.
Our thoughts are with the Clarke family during this difficult time.
