LOS ANGELES — Coach Tyronn Lue said he knows he has been asking a lot of Clippers center Ivica Zubac, who has been averaging nearly 31 minutes a game, a heavy workload for the No. 5 position.
Yet if Zubac is fatigued or needs a break, he isn’t showing any signs. He staged one of the most dominate displays by a center this season Sunday against the Indiana Pacers, providing a needed shot of energy in an unsettling season.
With injured stars Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Luke Kennard watching from the bench, Zubac scored 31 points, posted a career-high 29 rebounds, blocked three shots and had three assists before fouling out in the Clippers’ 114-100 victory at Crypto.com Arena.
