Ivica Zubac Questionable for Friday Return Amidst Ankle Sprain; Celtics Eye Trade

Clippers center Ivica Zubac is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, having missed Wednesday's game due to a left ankle sprain. While his availability will be clearer after shootaround, he has a chance to return. Zubac, who has missed six of the last 12 games with an ankle injury, is still averaging a double-double with 14.8 points and 10.7 rebounds. He's also being discussed as a 'perfect' trade target for the Celtics due to his favorable 3-year, $58.7 million contract and strong defensive rebounding, though the Clippers may seek two first-round picks.
