Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac had a double-double in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets, ending the night with 10 points and 14 rebounds. Still, it wasn't good enough, with the Clippers losing a decisive Game 7 and failing to advance to the Western Conference semi-finals to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. From a statistical standpoint, Zubac had a stellar 2024-25 campaign, amassing career-highs in points (16.8), rebounds (12.6), assists (2.7), and games (80). With that said, his stock is higher than ever, and it's possible he earns serious consideration for an All-Star selection next season.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Zubac notched his first career triple-double during Wednesday's contest. However, Zubac appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process, so his status for Friday is uncertain. If Zubac sits, Ben Simmons and Drew Eubanks would likely be asked to pick up the slack. Neither have offered much value at all this season. Simmons is a solid defender, so possibly he could have some low-end value, but fantasy managers shouldn't consider him a viable option.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (eye) will return on Thursday night against the Wizards after a two-game absence due to a left eye corneal abrasion. Zubac has been excellent for Los Angeles this season, averaging 15.0 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocked shots per game while playing 31.5 minutes per game. He will be in a smash spot against the Wizards, who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers. His return will most likely send Mo Bamba back to the bench, especially since Nicolas Batum (finger) has also been cleared to return after missing Wednesday's contest with the Celtics.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (eye) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a left eye issue. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so hopefully Zubac can return for Thursday's game. For now, Mo Bamba figures to move into the starting five, but he only played 15 minutes during their last game. He finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, so Bamba is still worth a look as a streaming choice. Also, Nicolas Batum should see an increase in minutes with Zubac and Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out on Wednesday.

According to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Los Angeles Clippers centerIvica Zubac(eye) won't suit up on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. After playing through a back injury, Zubac was poked in the eye during Sunday's game against the Lakers. He posted 21 points, 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes before suffering the eye injury. While the 27-year-old is out of action, Kai Jones and Mo Bamba could take extra minutes. However, the two centers will not impact fantasy this evening.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (back) will play on Sunday night against the Lakers. The veteran has a back injury, so he was in danger of missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Fortunately, he'll be out there for the intracity clash between the clubs. He has had the best season since entering the National Basketball Association, averaging career-highs in points (14.9), rebounds (12.5), and assists (2.6), making him worthy of a start in any fantasy format. With that in mind, his presence will mean less work for Mo Bamba and Nicolas Batum, who would have both been in line for more minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Zubac will join the long list of Clippers players that are uncertain to play on Sunday. Zubac hasn't missed a game all season, so it seems unlikely that he'd sit out due to lower back soreness. If he does, Mo Bamba and Nicolas Batum would be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Neither player has brought much to the table this season, but Bamba is the better streaming option due to his rebounding ability.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) will remain in the lineup on Monday versus Memphis. He was initially considered iffy for the contest due to a calf strain. However, Zubac will maintain his proud record of featuring in every game this season, starting alongside James Harden, Kris Dunn, Norman Powell, and Derrick Jones Jr. Memphis' frontcourt features Jaren Jackson Jr., the 2023 Defensive Player of The Year award winner, and the Grizzlies have the second-best rebounding rate in the league, so this is a tough matchup for Zubac.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is dealing with calf soreness and has officially been listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old hasn't missed a game yet this season, and he'll likely go into shootaround and warm-ups to see how his calf responds. Through 29 games, Zubac averages 15.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game which are all career-highs except for blocks. If he's unable to suit up, Mo Bamba would likely move into the startling lineup while Kai Jones sees some time off of the bench. Bamba wouldn't be that strong of streamer though.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac agreed to a three-year, $58.6 million contract extension. The Clippers' roster will look different in 2024-25, with Paul George and Russell Westbrook no longer in Los Angeles. Of course, the club still has Kawhi Leonard (knee) and James Harden in the starting lineup. But the Clippers will also have Zubac, who ended the 2023-24 campaign by averaging a career-high 11.7 points with 9.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. Fantasy managers should continue to get consistent production from the 27-year-old, and his durability makes him a welcome addition to any fantasy roster.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac is expected to start extension talks with the team soon. The Croatian big man is currently on a three-year, $33 million deal that will expire after the 2024-25 campaign. Zubac joined the Clippers from the Lakers in the middle of the 2018-19 season and has steadily developed. The 27-year-old scored a career-high 11.7 points in 2023-24, grabbing 9.2 rebounds and blocking 1.2 shots across 26.4 minutes of action. Fantasy managers can expect to see similar numbers from him next season.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac missed only one of his eight shots to produce a 15-point outing in Wednesday's Game 5 loss to Dallas. Across 26 minutes of action, he also recorded six rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Zubac's performance was the lone bright spot for the Clippers in a 30-point loss, particularly his start. The Croatian big man scored eight points in the first six minutes. Zubac has been strong throughout the series and is probably the only player on the team who's not disappointed with his postseason production. He's netted 16.0 points per game with 61 percent shooting and is averaging 9.0 rebounds with 1.0 steals.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man has missed each of the last two games due to an illness. Zubac is traveling with the team to Minnesota, which is a good sign heading into this contest. If he plays, Daniel Theis would head back to the bench and Mason Plumlee would see a decreased role. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Sunday.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) remains out for Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old is under the weather, so he'll miss a second consecutive game. His next chance to return will be Sunday in Minnesota. But until then, Daniel Theis, who had nine points, five boards, and one block on Wednesday against the Lakers, is a risky fantasy option for those in deeper formats needing a replacement.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The big man was forced to sit out of Wednesday's game due to an illness. His absence moved Daniel Theis into a starting role on Wednesday. He finished with nine points, five rebounds, and two assists in 31 minutes of action. He will likely get another chance to start if Zubac is forced to miss another game. Theis is a low-end streaming option, but could be worth a look for desperate fantasy managers.

Due to illness, Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac will miss Wednesday's showdown against the Los Angeles Lakers. This absence opens up opportunities for Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis, who will share playing time at the center position. Zubac has averaged 12.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in 46 regular-season appearances and will be missed against the Clippers city rival. The Lakers rank 22nd in opponent rebounding percentage at (49.1%).

The Los Angeles Clippers have downgraded center Ivica Zubac (illness) to questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Absent from the Clippers' original injury report, Zubac is dealing with an illness that could cost him Wednesday's game. If the 26-year-old rim protector cannot suit up in the Battle of L.A., Zubac's minutes at center would be divvied up between Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis, and the veteran big men would both be in play as low-end fantasy streamers against a Lakers team that ranks 22nd in opponent rebounding percentage (49.1%).

The Los Angeles Clippers have cleared center Ivica Zubac (calf) from their injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. Zubac returned in Sunday's victory over the Miami Heat following a nine-game absence with a strained right calf, but he caught a breather on the second half of L.A.'s back-to-back in Monday's shootout win over the Atlanta Hawks. It's a rigid draw for Zubac against a top-10 Pelicans defense overall, and considering a minutes restriction is potentially in store, he's not the most attractive DFS option on Wednesday. When he returns to his usual allotment of playing time, however, the 26-year-old paint presence should resume his ways as a solid source of swats, boards, and field-goal percentage, averaging 12.2 points on 65.3% shooting from the floor, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 26.9 minutes over 38 games for the Clips in 2023-24.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) was downgraded to out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The 26-year-old missed nine games before returning for Sunday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He logged only 18 minutes, amassing four points and three rebounds. Zubac will likely play on Wednesday against the visiting Pelicans, barring a setback. But in the meantime, Mason Plumlee should take his spot in the lineup, with the veteran averaging 7.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in eight starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) won't suit up on Tuesday and is going to be out of action for an extended period of time. The organization announced that Zubac has suffered a right calf strain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. This is a significant loss for the Clippers as Zubac has been a reliable member to this rotation. He is currently providing 9th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats. The expectation is that Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis will be asked to fill in while Zubac is sidelined. Plumlee is going to start on Tuesday, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Theis get some starts as well. That being said, Plumlee could be worth snagging off the waiver wire in certain fantasy formats.
