Ivica Zubac delivered a strong performance in the Clippers’ win over the Pelicans, posting 14 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks. Despite concerns about his playing time, Zubac logged 34 minutes, marking his second double-double in consecutive games. With backup Brook Lopez seeing limited action, Zubac’s role and minutes seem to be secure for now, even as head coach Tyronn Lue initially aimed to reduce his workload.
