Zubac Progresses to On-Court Activities in Ankle Recovery

Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) has advanced in his recovery from a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, now participating in on-court activities. He sustained the injury on Dec. 20, which typically requires at least three weeks for recovery. Zubac is expected to be re-evaluated by medical staff in mid-January, at which point the Los Angeles Clippers will have a clearer timeline for his return. Brook Lopez will continue to start at center during his absence.
