Few players were in a more intriguing situation in 2018-19 than Ivica Zubac. The third-year center started the season with the Lakers, averaging 15.6 minutes per game as Los Angeles squandered year one of the LeBron James era. A midseason trade sent Zubac across the hall at the Staples Center and into the Clippers’ locker room, upping his minutes as Doc Rivers and Co. snagged the No. 8 seed in the West.
Zubac shined with his new Los Angeles squad, earning a sizable spot in the Clippers’ rotation before the Warriors ended his season in the first round of the West playoffs.
