I don’t know what to say right now. I never hoped in my wildest dreams this would happen. Terrence Clarke was a great basketball player that represented Boston like no other could. It’s gut wrenching seeing life be taken away from someone so young. Rest In Peace King pic.twitter.com/5pKahgVOZq

Massachusetts kids know what Terrence Clarke meant to the whole state. Boston born and raised and he loved giving back to the community. Blessed we could see him grow since middle school but gone way too soon. Condolences out to his family.

One fan pointed out that Clarke’s last liked tweet was about his faith. The tweet reads, “I walk with God I’m always relaxed,” and everyone will be hoping he is definitely doing that right now in a much better place.

Clarke’s teammate Brandon Boston Jr was also involved in the accident. However, his former coach, Sierra Canyon basketball assistant, confirmed Boston is okay now. But fans will be praying for him too, as he hopefully makes his recovery. He will also need time to recover mentally after watching his close friend pass away right in front of him.

CONFIRMED: Brandon Boston Jr. is OK. Sierra Canyon basketball assistant confirms Boston is OK.

Boston was reportedly driving behind Terrence Clarke when Clarke was involved in a deadly accident.

Terrence Clarke had just taken his first steps towards his NBA dream

Clarke arrived in Kentucky as a promising player, being the 10th best prospect in the country. But sadly, he had a lot of injury trouble throughout his rookie season, so he only played eight games. He didn’t get enough time to showcase his talent, but there were glimpses of what he could achieve and how much potential he had. He declared for the NBA Draft back in March, after being willing to bet on himself.

Just one day ago, Clarke signed with Klutch Sports to boost his draft profile. This was his first step towards reaching his goals, which is playing in the NBA. While his projection had dropped due to his injuries, he was easily going to be a first round pick. But unfortunately, these dreams have now been cut short.

Prayers up for Clarke and his family, and also for Boston and his family.
