The Los Angeles Clippers are facing a crucial offseason as they look to regroup after a disappointing playoff exit. One key player they are looking to lock up is center Ivica Zubac, who has been a consistent presence in their lineup since arriving in a trade in 2018.
According to reports, the Clippers will soon discuss a contract extension with Zubac, who averaged 11.7 points and 9.4 rebounds this season. With a career shooting accuracy of 61.2 percent and the ability to protect the rim with 1.2 blocked shots per game, Zubac has been a valuable asset for the team.
The Clippers, who will be moving into the new Intuit Dome next season, will need to retain key players like Zubac to remain competitive and draw fans to their new facility. With limited size on their roster, losing Zubac would be a significant blow to their hopes of improvement.
Despite a rollercoaster season that saw them go from media darlings to playoff disappointments, the Clippers are looking to build a strong foundation for the future. Retaining players like Zubac will be crucial in their efforts to bounce back and make a deeper playoff run next season.
