Brook Lopez News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Bench role Friday Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Lopez drew a spot start Wednesday with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined but will return to a reserve role now that Zubac is healthy. In his past five games off the bench, Lopez is averaging 3.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 16.8 minutes per contest.

Starting Wednesday Lopez is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Ivica Zubac is sitting out Wednesday's game with an ankle injury, which will result in Lopez drawing the spot-start. Lopez has been inconsistent as a starter this season with averages of 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 triples and 1.2 blocks per contest, but with a favorable matchup against the Wizards, he's someone to consider as a streamer.

Rough night Saturday Lopez posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds in 12 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 win over the Pistons.

Impact Lopez turned into a pumpkin, offering nothing in his 12 minutes. Even when Ivica Zubac was sidelined, Lopez was nothing more than a stream option, as his impact on a basketball court continues to decline. The end could be nearer than we think for Lopez, currently averaging 6.3 points and 1.0 blocks in 16.9 minutes per game.

Not starting Monday Lopez won't start against the Warriors on Monday, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact With Ivica Zubac back in the starting five, Lopez will slide to the second unit. Over 21 appearances off the bench this season, the veteran center has averaged 6.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per contest.

Miserable showing Thursday Lopez accumulated three points (1-12 FG, 1-12 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 victory over the Jazz.

Impact It was a dreadful shooting display by Lopez, who saw fewer minutes than Yanic Konan Niederhauser on Thursday. Lopez should remain the top center while Ivica Zubac (ankle) is on the shelf, but it appears head coach Tyronn Lue is comfortable riding a hot-hand approach when applicable. Lopez has averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game in his last five outings (all starts).

Logs career high in win Lopez recorded 31 points (9-16 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 33 minutes during Friday's 119-103 victory over Portland.

Impact With Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined, Lopez got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest and made the most of the opportunity. The veteran center torched the nets from beyond the arc, sinking a career-high nine triples en route to a season-best mark in points. Lopez fell out of the rotation in late November and early December, though he carries solid short-term value as a member of the starting five and will aim to prove he can remain a steady producer when Zubac, who is expected to miss at least two more weeks, returns.

Starting Tuesday sans Zubac Lopez is in the Clippers' starting lineup against the Rockets on Tuesday, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Lopez will enter the Clippers' starting lineup for the first time this season Tuesday in the absence of Ivica Zubac, who will be sidelined for at least three weeks due to a Grade 2 left ankle sprain. Lopez started in all 80 regular-season games for the Bucks during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks over 31.8 minutes per game. Lopez has struggled from the field this season (his 40.5 percent field-goal clip is a career worst), but perhaps more consistent playing time will help with his shooting woes.

Larger role after Zubac exit Lopez tallied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes during the Clippers' 103-88 win over the Lakers on Saturday.

Impact Lopez entered Saturday's game averaging 14.2 minutes off the bench, but his 25 minutes were a season high and largely came after Ivica Zubac left in the first quarter due to a left ankle injury. Lopez would be an intriguing fantasy streamer at center for his rebounding and three-point proficiency if Zubac were to be sidelined for an extended period of time.

Impact Lopez remains an afterthought in fantasy formats, as the minutes simply aren't there behind Ivica Zubac. Across 19 appearances this season, Lopez is averaging 14.1 minutes per contest with 5.8 points and 1.7 rebounds.
