Sat Mar 218:34Ivica Zubac Listed As Questionable For Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man has missed each of the last two games due to an illness. Zubac is traveling with the team to Minnesota, which is a good sign heading into this contest. If he plays, Daniel Theis would head back to the bench and Mason Plumlee would see a decreased role. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Sunday.

Fri Mar 121:07Ivica Zubac Out Again Versus Washington
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) remains out for Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old is under the weather, so he'll miss a second consecutive game. His next chance to return will be Sunday in Minnesota. But until then, Daniel Theis, who had nine points, five boards, and one block on Wednesday against the Lakers, is a risky fantasy option for those in deeper formats needing a replacement.

Thu Feb 2921:35Ivica Zubac Could Miss Friday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The big man was forced to sit out of Wednesday's game due to an illness. His absence moved Daniel Theis into a starting role on Wednesday. He finished with nine points, five rebounds, and two assists in 31 minutes of action. He will likely get another chance to start if Zubac is forced to miss another game. Theis is a low-end streaming option, but could be worth a look for desperate fantasy managers.

Wed Feb 2821:18Ivica Zubac Unavailable Versus Lakers Wednesday

This absence opens up opportunities for Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis, who will share playing time at the center position. Zubac has averaged 12.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in 46 regular-season appearances and will be missed against the Clippers city rival.

Wed Feb 2816:06Clippers Downgrade Ivica Zubac To Questionable
The Los Angeles Clippers have downgraded center Ivica Zubac (illness) to questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Absent from the Clippers' original injury report, Zubac is dealing with an illness that could cost him Wednesday's game. If the 26-year-old rim protector cannot suit up in the Battle of L.A., Zubac's minutes at center would be divvied up between Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis, and the veteran big men would both be in play as low-end fantasy streamers against a Lakers team that ranks 22nd in opponent rebounding percentage (49.1%).

Wed Feb 716:18Clippers Clear Ivica Zubac From Injury Report
The Los Angeles Clippers have cleared center Ivica Zubac (calf) from their injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. Zubac returned in Sunday's victory over the Miami Heat following a nine-game absence with a strained right calf, but he caught a breather on the second half of L.A.'s back-to-back in Monday's shootout win over the Atlanta Hawks. It's a rigid draw for Zubac against a top-10 Pelicans defense overall, and considering a minutes restriction is potentially in store, he's not the most attractive DFS option on Wednesday. When he returns to his usual allotment of playing time, however, the 26-year-old paint presence should resume his ways as a solid source of swats, boards, and field-goal percentage, averaging 12.2 points on 65.3% shooting from the floor, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 26.9 minutes over 38 games for the Clips in 2023-24.

Mon Feb 518:07Ivica Zubac Out On Monday Night
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) was downgraded to out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The 26-year-old missed nine games before returning for Sunday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He logged only 18 minutes, amassing four points and three rebounds. Zubac will likely play on Wednesday against the visiting Pelicans, barring a setback. But in the meantime, Mason Plumlee should take his spot in the lineup, with the veteran averaging 7.9 points and 7.4 rebounds in eight starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

Tue Jan 1621:23Ivica Zubac To Miss At Least Four Weeks
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) won't suit up on Tuesday and is going to be out of action for an extended period of time. The organization announced that Zubac has suffered a right calf strain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. This is a significant loss for the Clippers as Zubac has been a reliable member to this rotation. He is currently providing 9th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats. The expectation is that Mason Plumlee and Daniel Theis will be asked to fill in while Zubac is sidelined. Plumlee is going to start on Tuesday, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Theis get some starts as well. That being said, Plumlee could be worth snagging off the waiver wire in certain fantasy formats.

Mon Jan 1521:42Ivica Zubac To Miss Tuesday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Zubac was a late scratch on Sunday due to a right calf strain. The fact Zubac has been ruled out in advance means that this could be something that sidelines him longer than just Tuesday. Daniel Theis figures to move into the starting five and have increased value while Zubac is out. Mason Plumlee should slide into the rotation as the backup center, but he won't be worth streaming in most formats.

Tue Oct 31 202321:14Ivica Zubac Cleared For Tuesday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (quad) will suit up for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 26-year-old big man was considered questionable coming into this game due to a quad issue. It appears Zubac is feeling good enough to play which is great news for the shorthanded Clippers' roster. The expectation is that Zubac will play his normal role or possibly more with Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum, and Marcus Morris Sr. all traded in exchange for James Harden on Tuesday. Fantasy managers who have Zubac rostered can get him back in their lineups.

Tue Oct 31 202309:54Ivica Zubac Questionable For Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (thigh) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando. The Croatian big man is dealing with a thigh contusion, and his absence could leave the Clippers without another body after the team shipped out four players to acquire James Harden from Philadelphia. Zubac has opened the season in fine form, registering 14.0 points with 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. Mason Plumlee should eat up extra minutes on Tuesday if Zubac isn't available. This has been a great matchup for centers early in the season, with the Magic giving up the ninth-most rebounds in the league to the position and allowing centers to shoot 64.4 percent against them.

Thu Oct 12 202315:53Ivica Zubac Absent From Practice Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (back) won't participate in Thursday's practice but is advancing in his recovery from back spasms. Zubac left Tuesday's preseason meeting with the Utah Jazz after five minutes of action due to the setback, but he seems to be improving despite missing Thursday's session. The Clippers have an exhibition date with the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, which marks the 26-year-old interior presence's next opportunity to return. Mason Plumlee is technically the next man up on the depth chart behind Zubac, but LA could opt to use the likes of Kenyon Martin Jr., Robert Covington, and Nicolas Batum at the 5 in small-ball sets. With little competition for traditional center minutes, Zubac remains an adequate source of rebounds and blocks with decent percentages in the later rounds of upcoming fantasy drafts.

Wed Oct 11 202308:33Ivica Zubac Struggles With Back Spasms, Exits Early
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac was forced to exit Tuesday's preseason game versus Utah early due to back spasms. The Croatian seven-footer managed to play just five minutes, scoring four points on 2-for-3 shooting and recording one rebound with one block. With this being a preseason outing, the Clippers were likely extremely cautious with Zubac and didn't want to push him at all to play when he didn't feel right. He'll have a whole week to recover before the Clippers are in preseason action again, and there are currently no indications that this will be a lingering issue that will also trouble Zubac during the regular season.

Thu Mar 2 202321:08Ivica Zubac Ruled Out For Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is a shame after Zubac played 28 minutes in his return to the court on Tuesday. The 25-year-old continues to deal with a lingering calf issue, so the team will have him sit this game out. In his absence, Mason Plumlee will shift into the starting five for Thursday's game. He was reliable during his time as a starter earlier this season. That being said, Plumlee is a strong streaming option and should be added in all formats for Thursday's slate.

Thu Mar 2 202318:45Ivica Zubac Uncertain For Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He missed two games last week before making his return to the court on Tuesday. Another absence would mean that Mason Plumlee would move into the starting five. He was a strong fantasy option throughout most of the season before his trade to Los Angeles. A move to the starting five would certainly give his value a boost.

Sun Feb 26 202315:43Ivica Zubac Won't Play Against Denver
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) will miss Sunday's meeting in Denver, marking his second consecutive absence. Mason Plumlee took his spot on Friday night in the double overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes. Plumlee has some value in deep fantasy formats, considering he's always a double-double threat. However, he's still a risky fantasy option, especially with a matchup against Nikola Jokic on the horizon.

Fri Feb 10 202309:25Navigating The Clippers Trade Deadline Moves - Fantasy Basketball Impact
The Los Angeles Clippers are in the heat of the congested Western Conference playoff race and were one of the more active franchises during Thursday's trade deadline. The Clippers had some glaring needs, specifically at the point guard position, and needed to surround their star forwards, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, with more talent to compete in the loaded Western Conference.The Clippers were able to execute three separate trades on Thursday. First off, the Clippers were able to secure Bones Hyland from the Denver Nuggets for a couple of second-round picks. Then, they set their eyes on veteran guard Eric Gordon in a three-team trade, sending off John Wall to the Houston Rockets and Luke Kennard to the Memphis Grizzlies. Lastly, the Clippers moved ...

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (knee) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Zubac was able to play 35 minutes in Tuesday's loss but may have picked up the injury at some point or the Clippers are thinking about giving him some rest. If Zubac can't go, Moses Brown figures to see the majority of the center minutes while the Clippers may also utilize some small ball lineups given their lengthy injury report.

The expectation is that Zubac will also sit out Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. In his absence. the Clippers have decided to start Moses Brown at center on Thursday. He could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers who are desperate for production at center. Although, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum should also see plenty of action as well.

Mon Dec 12 202216:42Ivica Zubac Picks Up Questionable Designation For Monday
LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac (groin) has been listed as questionable to play in Monday's game against the Celtics due to a sore right groin. Zubac has yet to miss a contest this season, having started all 28 of the Clippers' outings en route to averaging a double-double (10.6 points, 11.2 rebounds per game). The 25-year-old is on pace for career highs in scoring and boards, all while shooting 62.6 percent from the floor overall. An absence from the big man would likely lead to LA playing smaller with Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum as small-ball five options, while Moses Brown could also garner some additional run. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Zubac's status prior to tip-off.
