The Los Angeles Lakers have dealt with a ton of injuries throughout this season as the likes of LeBron James, Rajon Rondo and Lonzo Ball have missed significant time while numerous others have had minor issues keep them out.
This has forced head coach Luke Walton to turn to other players on his bench and none have taken more advantage of their opportunity than Ivica Zubac. After a disappointing second season, very little was expected of Zubac this year.
And when the Lakers brought in Tyson Chandler, it seemed like he would be stuck on the bench, but he has turned into a huge contributor.
