Wife:
Jordan Clarkson actually has a child with former girlfriend Karizma Ramir.
The Filipino-American baller has shared many photos of his daughter on social media, including one last month celebrating her third birthday.
What happened:
At home, Clarkson can be seen high-fiving and laughing with the Jazz crowd. On the road, Clarkson is happy to go back and forth in some friendly trash talk or even talk with fans while he’s sitting on the bench.
Usually those interactions end with smiles. But one such interaction ended differently on Monday night in San Antonio, Clarkson’s home town.
With about eight minutes left to play in the Jazz’s 110-104 win over the Spurs, Clarkson was frustrated after not getting a call after a drive to the basket and he was late getting back on defense. That misstep cost the Jazz a wide open 3-pointer by Doug McDermott.
Parents:
Clarkson was born in Tampa, Florida, to African-American Mike Clarkson and Annette Tullao Davis, who is of partial Filipino descent. Davis’s mother, Marcelina Tullao Kingsolver, was from Bacolor, Pampanga, Philippines.

Interview:
It is rare when professional athletes can go undetected in the community, the margin of possibility narrowing even more when an interview takes place.
However, on Friday, Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson happened to stumble into that rare moment as he spoke with a Salt Lake City news reporter, who was interviewing people around Vivant Arena about their thoughts on the new COVID-19 guidelines.
The venue announced that all guests 12 or older had to either show proof they were fully vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event in order to enter.
