IVICA ZUBAC NEWS

Will not play Friday Zubac will miss Friday's game against the Kings due to a strained right calf, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Zubac will be sidelined for the first time since Dec. 17 with the calf issue, which should open up an opportunity for Mason Plumlee to step into the starting lineup. In his last five games, Zubac averaged 11.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 30.1 minutes. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Denver.

Delivers double-double in win Zubac produced 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 116-107 victory over the Suns.

Impact Zubac recorded his first double-double in more than a week, a welcome sight for his fantasy managers. Despite the arrival of Mason Plumlee, Zubac has been able to maintain a 30-minute role, keeping him firmly in the standard-league discussion. He sits just outside the top 100 for the season, and while there will be some ups and downs moving forward, he should be able to maintain similar value for the rest of the season.

Impact Zubac led all Clippers in rebounding while finishing as one of six players in double figures in scoring in a double-double performance. Zubac has notched at least 15 points and 10 rebounds in nine games this year.

Posts second straight double-double Zubac supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block over 29 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 106-105 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Zubac had only two field-goal attempts in the first half and scored 10 of his 12 points over the final two quarters on 3-of-5 shooting. The center also collected eight of his team-high 13 rebounds in the second half, four of which came on the offensive end as the Clippers failed to pull out a tough road win. Zubac has now recorded a double-double in back-to-back games, though he also fouled out Thursday for the third time this season.

Delivers 18 points in victory Zubac amassed 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-113 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Zubac finally broke out of an offensive slump Saturday, scoring 18 points, the most he has scored since late December. After a red-hot start to the season, things have slowed over the past month. During that span, he is barely inside the top 140, putting up averages of 10.4 points and 8.4 rebounds. He remains a must-roster player, although his limited offerings do mean he isn't going to appeal to everyone.

Records double-double Friday Zubac registered 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 16 rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Friday's 131-126 win over the Spurs.

Impact Zubac has posted double-doubles in back-to-back games for the fourth time this season, and the big man continues to impact both ends of the court for the Clippers. He's averaging 10.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per contest in January.

Double-double in limited action Zubac totaled 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-103 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Zubac played through a left knee contusion Wednseday night, but he still managed to put up a strong performance. His 13 field-goal attempts mark his second highest mark of the season, despite only playing 26 minutes. Zubac should see an increased role on offense in the absence of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, assuming he can continue to suit up himself.

Active Wednesday Zubac (knee) will play in Wednesday's matchup with the Jazz.

Impact Zubac was handed a questionable designation ahead of Wednesday's contest due to a left knee contusion but will be able to suit up. Over his last 10 appearances, Zubac has averaged 9.9 points and 7.8 rebounds across 27.4 minutes and should handle more offensive duties with Paul George (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (injury management) sidelined.

Questionable Wednesday Zubac is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a left knee contusion, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Zubac has been productive over his last five appearances, averaging 10.6 points and 9.2 rebounds in 29.4 minutes per game. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. If he's sidelined, Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington will likely see expanded roles.

Delivers monster double-double Zubac produced 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and one block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Zubac had no problem winning the game in the paint, as he contained Onyeka Okongwu while registering a solid offensive showing. Sunday's effort put an end to a rough four-game stretch, which began on New Year's Eve against the Pacers. Zubac only recorded 21 rebounds during that span -- well below his usual average. Prior to that stretch, he had a three-game double-double streak. He'll look to keep it rolling when the Clippers host the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Another double-double Zubac finished with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 loss to Boston.

Impact Zubac has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in four consecutive games and has also recorded three straight double-doubles, so he's been producing well in a position that hasn't been particularly productive in fantasy this season. The big man is averaging 9.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in December.

Pulls down 16 boards Zubac amassed 23 points (7-13 FG, 9-12 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 win over the Raptors.

Impact Zubac has been feasting on the glass of late and has pulled down double-digit rebounds in three straight contests, but he's also delivering solid scoring numbers with two double-doubles in that span. That said, he also went through a five-game stretch in which he ended with single-digit points and rebounds each time. The lack of consistency has been an issue for him, but given the lack of depth around the league in the center position, Zubac remains a solid option on a game-to-game basis. He's averaging 9.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in December.

Grabs double-double in win Zubac logged 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 41 minutes during Monday's 142-131 overtime win over the Pistons.

Impact Zubac got off to a slow start offensively, scoring just two points on 1-of-2 shooting in the first half to go along with seven rebounds. He made all three of his field goal attempts in the second half for another 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds between the second half and overtime to give him a game-high 15 boards on the night. Zubac recorded just his third double-double in the month of December while playing a season-high 41 minutes in the contest.

Logs 23 minutes in victory Zubac supplied four points (2-3 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 126-105 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Zubac returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after missing two straight games due to a knee injury. After a red-hot start to the season, Zubac has seen his role diminish over the past couple of weeks. With both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George healthy, the Clippers are opting to run a smaller lineup at times with Nicolas Batum playing the center position. While Zubac remains a 12-team asset, it is unlikely he will be able to replicate what he was doing earlier in the season.

Impact Zubac has missed the previous two games due to a left knee contusion. Amir Coffey and Moses Brown will likely receive extended minutes if he's unable to return. Zubac's next opportunity to play will be Friday's game against Philadelphia if he's ruled out Wednesday.
