Player News
Ivica Zubac recorded a double-double on Monday with 16 points (6-of-10 FGs), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal against the Nuggets in Game 2.
It has been over a month since Zubac played a game and didn’t record a double-double. Playoff basketball hasn’t changed that. He has averaged 18.5 points and 12.5 rebounds through the first two games of this series while trying to slow down Nikola Jokic. Zubac is a finalist for the league’s Most Improved Player award, and even if he doesn’t win it, the strides that he has taken this season will help him get paid. He’s in year one of a three-year, $58.7 million contract, which is a bargain for the Clippers.
Ivica Zubac accounted for 21 points (10-of-15 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes in Saturday’s Game 1 loss to the Nuggets.
Ivica Zubac played 42 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Warriors, tallying 22 points (11-of-16 FGs), 17 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot.
Ivica Zubac recorded a double-double on Friday with 17 points (8-of-9 FGs) and 10 rebounds against the Kings.
This was the 14th-straight double-double for Zubac, which is the longest active streak in the league and the fifth-longest streak this season. Only Domantas Sabonis (24, 18), Giannis Antetokounmpo (19) and Karl-Anthony Towns (18) have had longer double-double streaks this year. Zubac has had a fantastic season and has only improved as the year progressed. He’ll be candidate to make an All-Defensive team and is a big reason why the Clippers will have a chance to host in the first round of the playoffs.
