Good to go against Orlando Zubac (quadriceps) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Magic, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Zubac was questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup due to his quad injury, but he'll be able to suit up and start against Orlando. The 26-year-old big man has averaged 14.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 22.7 minutes across his first three appearances this season.

Questionable for Tuesday Zubac (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Zubac was held out of Monday's practice, but he's being considered a game-time call for Tuesday's contest. The team will likely re-evaluate the center during morning shootaround to determine his availability for Tuesday evening.

Not practicing Monday Zubac won't participate in Monday's practice session due to a quad injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Zubac had a solid performance Sunday against the Spurs with 16 points, eight rebounds and a block in 22 minutes, but he's apparently dealing with a quad issue afterward. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for Tuesday's game against Orlando, but Mason Plumlee and Robert Covington would be candidates for increased run if Zubac is sidelined.

Double-double in season debut Zubac amassed 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and four blocks across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 victory over Portland.

Impact Zubac had an excellent showing and was effective in containing Deandre Ayton during the contest. Zubac's performance was especially good considering he saw only 26 minutes on the floor, which will be his usual allotment. Mason Plumlee is a productive backup at the five, and the Clippers tend to play small ball and run three-forward sets, both of which curb Zubac's usage.

Grabs eight rebounds in victory Zubac recorded 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 116-103 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Zubac's path to a starting role is clear this season, as there isn't much competition on the roster beyond Mason Plumlee. The Clippers will occasionally plug in backups like Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris against certain opponents, so Zubac's output will be capped often. Despite his starting role, Zubac is not in the highest echelon of NBA centers but can be a serviceable backup if he's available late in drafts.

Out for remainder of game Zubac won't return to Tuesday's preseason game versus the Jazz due to back spasms, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Zubac will finish Tuesday's contest with four points, one rebound and one block in five minutes before exiting early. His next chance to suit up is next Tuesday's preseason matchup with Denver.

Impressive double-double Zubac amassed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 FT), 15 rebounds, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 108-94 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Zubac was outstanding on both ends of the court, and there's an argument to say he was Los Angeles' best player in a game where the Clippers looked completely overmatched. Zubac has thrived in his second straight season as a full-time starter and is having a career-best season with averages of 10.6 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. Plus, he averaged 12.3 points and 9.3 boards per contest across 12 March outings.

Strong double-double in win Zubac finished Wednesday's 134-126 victory over the Warriors with 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes.

Impact Zubac took advantage of Golden State's frontcourt and posted his most points since Feb. 6 and his most rebounds since Jan. 20 en route to his 22nd double-double of the season. The veteran big man has been struggling since missing four of five contests due to injury, so it's encouraging to see him back to form heading into the stretch run.

Returns to form Zubac accumulated 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Zubac finally looked like himself after battling a calf injury at the end of February and into March. He was incredibly efficient from the field and swatted away a pair of shots, notching three straight games with two blocks. Wednesday's output marked Zubac's best scoring performance since Feb. 6, when he dropped 19 points on Brooklyn.

Available with minutes limit Zubac (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies but will have a minutes restriction, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Zubac missed four of the last five games due to a sore right calf, but he'll suit up against Memphis.

Ruled out Friday Zubac (back) will not play against the Kings on Friday according to Law Murray of The Athletic.

Impact This will be the third game that Zubas has missed out of the past four for Los Angeles. He was carrying a questionable tag prior to this which likely means he's day-to-day. With Zubac out, Mason Plumlee will likely draw the start at center and could see a nice bump in fantasy value.

Impact Zubac played well in his return from a two-game absence Tuesday, posting 12 points, nine rebounds, two blocks, one steal and one assist. However, his calf injury has flared up, and he may sit out Thursday. If that's the case, Mason Plumlee will presumably start.

Flirts with double-double in return Zubac finished Tuesday's 108-101 loss to the Timberwolves with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes.

Impact Zubac returned to the starting lineup after missing two games with a calf injury. Mason Plumlee and Marcus Morris performed admirably in his absence, and as one might expect, Zubac's return had a devastating affect on the value of both players. It's possible that the team may rest Zubac during the upcoming back-to-back, and it's a development worth monitoring if you have Morris or Plumlee on your roster.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Minnesota Zubac (calf) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Minnesota, Andrew Greif of The Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Zubac missed the past two games for the Clippers but will likely see his usual workload Tuesday against Rudy Gobert. Mason Plumlee is expected to shift back to the bench, and we'll likely see less of Marcus Morris as well.
