Ivica Zubac Absent From Practice Thursday
7 months agoLos 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.
