Back at the end of June, the LA Clippers and Ivica Zubac agreed to a three-year, $32.8 million extension that will see the center remain in Los Angeles through the 2024-25 season. It rewarded Zubac for the improvements he’s made as a player during his time with the team, but also put faith in him continuing to develop his game.
On Thursday night at the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Pre-Qualifiers in Warsaw, Poland, Zubac showed some of the game that the team believes is in there. Zubac finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in 31 minutes as Croatia knocked off Poland, 72-69.
