After trading James Harden to the Cavaliers earlier this week, the Clippers have continued their rebuild around Kawhi Leonard by trading star center Ivica Zubac to the Pacers, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
Los Angeles receives 23-year-old wing Bennedict Mathurin, 24-year-old forward Isaiah Jackson, a pair of first-round picks and a second-rounder in return. The first of the picks, a 2026 first-rounder, includes protections on picks 1–4 and 10–30; if the pick doesn’t vest this season, it will become an unprotected first-round pick in 2031. The Clippers will also receive a 2029 unprotected first-round pick, Charania reports.
