Zubac went down late in the first quarter of Saturday’s 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at the Intuit Dome. Zubac went up for a shot near the elbow, then came down and landed directly on LeBron James’ foot — which sent him down to the court hard.
Zubac had five points and two rebounds in 11 minutes in the game when he went down. The 28-year-old has averaged 15.6 points and 11.1 rebounds this season, his eighth with the Clippers.
Last season, Zubac finished sixth in the Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year voting and was second for the Kia Most Improved Player award. He was also named to the league’s All-Defensive second-team.
