LA Clippers heart Ivica Zubac will sit out several weeks because of a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, sources informed ESPN’s Shams Charania on Sunday.
Zubac exited in the first half of Saturday’s 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers and did not return. He fell to the court in a heap late in the first quarter and immediately hobbled to the locker room for analysis and Brook Lopez substituted in for him. Zubac completed with 5 factors and two rebounds in 11 minutes.
Before the recreation, Lakers heart Jaxson Hayes said Zubac — who was averaging 16 factors and 11.5 rebounds headed into the win — would be a problem.
“Zu is a dog, man,” Hayes said after the Lakers’ shootaround Saturday morning. “He’s, honestly, I feel like one of the most slept-on bigs in the league, man. If you play him, you know he’s like that. Zu has been like that for years.”
