LOS ANGELES — The itinerary changes constantly, leaving Ivica Zubac confused on where to report to that day.
“Sometimes I wake up,” Zubac said, “and I don’t know if I’m with the Lakers or the D-Fenders.”
Zubac’s answer lately depends on the day.
The Lakers’ rookie center has switched between the Lakers and their Development League affiliate three times in the past week. He also plans to play for the D-Fenders on Thursday against Idaho City before rejoining the Lakers for Friday’s home game against Miami. Zubac has often practiced for each respective team twice in a day before reporting either to a D-Fenders or Lakers game later that evening.
