LOS ANGELES >> With a stoic expression on his face, Lakers rookie center Ivica Zubac sat by his locker. He expressed what his body language suggested he felt.
“I’m tired,” Zubac said before the Lakers played the Detroit Pistons on Sunday at Staples Center.
In an experience he called “exhausting,” Zubac appeared for three minutes in the final moments of Saturday’s loss to the Clippers before playing that evening for the Lakers’ Development League affiliate. Though he received forewarning a few days beforehand, Zubac struggled squeezing in a 20-minute nap before the D-Fenders hosted the Canton Charge.
