Questionable against Memphis Zubac is questionable versus Memphis on Monday due to right calf soreness.

Impact Zubac was a late addition to the injury report which is an ominous sign for fantasy managers. He's yet to miss a game this season, and this is the first report of a calf issue. If he's unable to go, the Clippers could turn to Mo Bamba and Nicolas Batum to pick up the slack.

Strong performance Monday Zubac accumulated 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over Utah.

Impact James Harden and Norman Powell might have been the stars of the show in this huge blowout win over the Jazz, but Zubac certainly left his mark on both ends of the court. He notched his third consecutive double-double, and the big man continues to have a career-best season while enjoying a bigger role on offense. Zubac is averaging 14.9 points and 12.2 rebounds per game this season, notching career-best figures in both categories by a wide margin.

Posts another double-double Zubac produced 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 120-98 loss to Denver.

Impact Zubac's scoring numbers have experienced a regression compared to the early weeks of the season, though that was expected, but he remains a consistent force on the boards. The big man has recorded double-digit rebounds in all but one of his last 14 appearances, a span in which he's averaging 13.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 blocks per game. Zubac has recorded 16 double-doubles across 26 games in 2024-25.

Double-double in Sunday's loss Zubac notched 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-106 loss to Houston.

Impact The veteran center continues to dominate the glass. Zubac has pulled down double-digit boards in 12 of the last 13 games, recording eight double-doubles over that stretch while averaging 13.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 62.6 percent from the floor. His 12.2 boards a game on the season puts him fourth in the NBA, behind only Nikola Jokic (13.6), Karl-Anthony Towns (13.2 ) and Domantas Sabonis (12.7).

Another double-double Zubac posted 16 points (8-9 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Zubac recorded his sixth consecutive double-double, and the star big man has also grabbed 10 or more rebounds in nine appearances in a row. His two-way contributions have been a big reason why the Clippers have posted solid results despite missing key contributors such as Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Norman Powell (hamstring). Over that nine-game stretch, Zubac is averaging 15.1 points and 13.0 rebounds per game while shooting 68.4 percent from the floor.

Big double-double Wednesday Zubac posted 18 points (9-11 FG), 16 rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 win over Washington.

Impact It was a highly efficient night for Zubac, who registered his 13th double-double of the season in three quarters after head coach Tyronn Lue opted to keep his starters out of the fourth period in Wednesday's blowout win. Zubac has been a revelation for the Clippers in what has been a breakout 2024-25 campaign so far this year for the 27-year-old veteran big man, and over his last seven games, he's averaging 16.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.8 minutes per contest. Zubac should continue to be a very strong source of rebounds for fantasy managers going forward.

Double-doubles in loss Zubac finished Monday's 126-94 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (11-14 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes.

Impact Zubac's breakout season continued Monday as he recorded his 12th double-double of the campaign. He's on pace for an eight-round finish in nine-category formats, but if you're punting free throws, he would jump up to a fourth-round valuation. For the season, he's averaging an impressive 15.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 33.0 minutes.

Posts another double-double Zubac supplied 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-99 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Zubac has been one of the most consistent big men in the NBA this season, and the veteran has racked up three straight double-doubles, and four in his last five appearances. He's averaging a solid 13.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.

Double-double in Friday's win Zubac had 10 points (5-8 FG), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 104-88 victory over the Kings.

Impact The veteran center pulled down double-digit boards for the fifth straight game and the 15th time in 17 contests to begin the season. Zubac's inconsistent offense has led him to only 10 double-doubles, but he's still on track for a breakout campaign, averaging 15.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor. He may be able to find another gear, too -- his 57.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line is well below his career 73.1 percent mark.
