Ivica Zubac Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) will be available for Saturday's home game against the Celtics after missing five consecutive contests with a Grade 2 sprain. His return solidifies the Clippers' interior rotation and restores a dependable double-double presence, as Zubac is averaging 15.6 points and 11.1 rebounds in 32.0 minutes this season. With Zubac back, the streaming appeal of Brook Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser takes a hit, while John Collins faces less small-ball strain. Zubac remains a clear hold with top-50 center production when healthy.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) is facing a multi-week absence. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, the Croatian big man was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain and will miss three weeks. Losing Zubac is a massive blow for the Clippers, who will probably rely more on Brook Lopez over the coming weeks. Lopez logged a season-high 25 minutes in Saturday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, tallying 11 points, five rebounds, and two blocks. John Collins may also see some action at center, while Kobe Brown's minutes could increase again after he was limited to only four minutes over the past two games.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) exited early and did not return against the Lakers, finishing with five points, two rebounds, one assist, and 11 minutes. Zubac had been steady recently, averaging 14.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 29.7 minutes over his last five, so any absence would materially impact the frontcourt rotation. John Collins stands to benefit most with increased minutes and rebounding chances, while Brook Lopez profiles as a deeper-league streaming option if Zubac misses time.

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 center Ivica 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.
