Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
Zubac finished with 18 points (9-14 FG), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 loss to Denver.
Zubac came tantalizingly close to his sixth double-double of the season after hitting that mark three times over the past week. Zubac is still logging 30-plus minutes despite some additions on the roster to prop up the frontcourt. Zubac faced little competition last season and logged the highest minute-per-game average of his career, but he's proven to be more than capable of handling the workload.

Rotowire
Zubac closed with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 34 minutes during Friday's 126-124 win over New Orleans.
The double-double was his second straight after a bit of a slow start to the season on the glass, while the three blocks were a season high for Zubac. The 28-year-old center is coming off a breakout 2024-25 campaign, but so far in 2025-26, he's taken a slight step back, averaging 15.2 points, 8.6 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.8 minutes over five games.

Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Posts 21-8-3-2 line in win
Rotowire
Zubac finished Sunday's 114-107 victory over the Trail Blazers with 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 35 minutes.
Zubac went to work against the sophomore, Donovan Clingan, and dominated the matchup. Zubac would regularly gain deep post position and then proceed to muscle in buckets through the Portland defenders. It was a favorable matchup for Zubac, which helped him log a season-high 35 minutes, but it'll be interesting to see what his playing time looks like Tuesday with a meeting against the small-ball Warriors.

Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Scores team-high 19 points in defeat
Rotowire
Zubac accumulated 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 loss to the Jazz.
Zubac was a bright spot in the Clippers disappointing debut. He led the team in points with 19, as they struggled against a hot-shooting Jazz squad. Zubac was a double-double machine in 2024-25, tying Nikola Jokic for 2nd most (59). However, the Jazz missed only 11 shots total in the first half, limiting rebound opportunities and ultimately putting the game out of reach. The Clippers' next outing is Friday against the Phoenix Suns.
Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Double-double against Denver
Rotowire
Zubac contributed 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 preseason loss to the Nuggets.

The 28-year-old center is coming off a breakout 2024-25 season, but his career-high 32.8 minutes a contest may get scaled back after the Clippers bolstered their frontcourt with John Collins and Brook Lopez over the summer.

Rotowire
Zubac produced 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes of Thursday's 142-95 preseason win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
Zubac has been the talk of the town since Media Day in Los Angeles.

With Brook Lopez comfortably behind him, Zubac could be poised to make another positive step in 2025-26.
