Coming off bench in return Zubac will come off the bench against the Celtics on Saturday, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Impact Zubac was cleared to return from a five-game absence due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain, well ahead of schedule given the nature of his injury. He won't be rushed back to a full workload and will serve in a reserve role in his return, so Brook Lopez will likely remain in the starting lineup and Yanic Konan Niederhauser should also see some minutes in the rotation.

Cleared to play Saturday Zubac (ankle) will be available for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Zubac is ahead of schedule in his rehab from a Grade 2 left ankle sprain he sustained in a win over the Lakers on Dec. 20 and will suit up Saturday following a five-game absence. The veteran center was just recently cleared to return to on-court activities, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction against Boston. Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Brook Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser.

Progressing in recovery Zubac (ankle) has progressed enough in his recovery to participate in on-court activities, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Zubac suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain against the Lakers on Dec. 20. It's an injury that takes at least three weeks to recover from, so the veteran center should be re-evaluated by medical staff in mid-January, at which point the Clippers will have a clearer idea of when Zubac can return to the lineup. Brook Lopez will continue to start at center for the Clippers for as long as Zubac is on the shelf.

Impact Zubac sustained the injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game, and further tests diagnosed the veteran center with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. The injury will keep him sidelined through mid-January and opens the door for Brook Lopez to enter the Clippers' starting lineup. Kobe Brown -- who has played just four minutes over the Clippers' last two games -- could also see a significant boost in playing time off the bench for as long as Zubac is sidelined.

Won't return Saturday Zubac will not return to Saturday's game against the Lakers due to a left ankle injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zubac rolled his left ankle, and while he was able to walk off the court under his own power, he was sporting a serious limp as he went back to the locker room. For now, Zubac should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, and if he needs to miss time, that would benefit John Collins and Brook Lopez.

Goes to locker room Zubac limped to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury during Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Ekes out double-double in OKC Zubac amassed 11 points (3-7 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-101 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact While he barely got there, the double-double was Zubac's 16th of the season, tying him for fourth in the NBA. The 28-year-old center is having a productive start to December, averaging 15.0 points, 11.4 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in seven games while shooting 63.2 percent from the floor.
