New on SI: Report: Former Kentucky Guard, NBA Draft Prospect Terrence Clarke Dies in Car Accident

Clarke was among the top recruits in the 2020 class and spent one season at Kentucky. He had recently signed with Klutch Sports ahead of July's NBA draft.

Former Kentucky guard and NBA draft prospect Terrence Clarke has reportedly died in a car accident in Los Angeles,

according to WKYT Lexington. He was 19 years old.

Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul later confirmed the report to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, offering prayers to Clarke's family in a statement.

"We are saddened and devastated by the tragic loss of Terrence Clarke," Paul said. "He was an incredible, hard-working young man. He was excited for what was ahead of him and ready to fulfill his dreams. Our prayers go out to Terrence and his family, who ask for privacy during this difficult time."

Clarke was reportedly in Los Angeles with former Kentucky teammate and fellow draft prospect BJ Boston. The pair were leaving a workout and had just signed with Klutch Sports on Wednesday.

Clarke, one of the top recruits from the 2020 class, was limited to just eight games this season after suffering a foot injury. He averaged 9.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 28.6 minutes per game, shooting 42.1% from the field.
