It’s been a whirlwind week for Los Angeles Lakers rookie Ivica Zubac. It all started when the 19-year old second-round pick went from almost entirely out of the Lakers’ rotation into getting some garbage time minutes against the San Antonio Spurs last Thursday.
Zubac impressed in his minutes, parlaying that into token time against the Los Angeles Clippers at the end of a blowout loss, but the day was still historic as he became just the 10th player ever to play for both an NBA team and a D-League team in the same day.
The seven-footer wasn’t done there.
