Ante Zizic News
Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic is reportedly emerging as a candidate for Maccabi Tel Aviv if he decides to leave the NBA this offseason. The Cavs declined his $3.8 million option for the 2020-2021 season. However, it was reported that the organization would like to bring him back this offseason. It likely depends on whether or not Andre Drummond decides to accept the player option for next season. Zizic might be back in Cleveland next season, otherwise he could end up playing soccer in Israel.
The Cleveland Cavaliers second unit will be severely short-handed for Saturdays game versus the Chicago Bulls with point/shooting guard Brandon Knight and centers Ante Zizic and John Henson unavailable due to injury. Knight will be missing his second consecutive game, while Zizic will be sidelined for the fourth straight outing with an illness. The frontcourt behind the starting duo of Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson will be thin, while Matthew Dellavedova should log added minutes in place of Knight. The next chance that any of the trio have at returning comes Monday against the Knicks.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic will join teammate Kevin Love on the sidelines for Tuesdays game versus the Los Angeles Clippers as he deals with an illness. Zizic has derived very little fantasy value on a nightly basis in 2019-20, but his absence paves the way for the duo of Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jr. to see significant minutes in the frontcourt Tuesday. The next chance that the Croatian big man has at returning to action comes Friday against Memphis.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic was thrust into a larger role during Sundays loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves as the trio of Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jr. were all sidelined. Zizic played a season-best 25 minutes off the bench and accrued season highs in both scoring and rebounding with 15 points and 12 boards, good for his first double-double of 2019-20. Shooting 6-for-7 from the field overall, there is reason for DFS optimism as it pertains to Zizic should the Cavs remain short-handed when they take on Detroit on Tuesday.
