"LOS ANGELES -- Clippers big man Ivica Zubac exited the first half of Saturday's intracity showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers due to a left ankle injury and will not return, the team announced. Zubac went to the floor in a heap late in in the first quarter and immediately hobbled back to the locker room for evaluation after Brook Lopez subbed in for him."
"Coming into the game, Lakers center Jaxson Hayes said Zubac -- who entered the game averaging 16 points and 11.5 rebounds -- would be a challenge to contend with. "Zu is a dog, man," Hayes said after the Lakers' shootaround Saturday morning. "He's, honestly, I feel like one of the most slept-on bigs in the league, man. If you play him, you know he's like that. Zu has been like that for years.""
