Los Angeles Clippers center
Ivica Zubac (eye) will return on Thursday night against the Wizards after a two-game absence due to a left eye corneal abrasion. Zubac has been excellent for Los Angeles this season, averaging 15.0 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocked shots per game while playing 31.5 minutes per game. He will be in a smash spot against the Wizards, who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers. His return will most likely send
Mo Bamba back to the bench, especially since
Nicolas Batum (finger) has also been cleared to return after missing Wednesday's contest with the Celtics.

Los Angeles Clippers center
Ivica Zubac (eye) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a left eye issue. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so hopefully Zubac can return for Thursday's game. For now,
Mo Bamba figures to move into the starting five, but he only played 15 minutes during their last game. He finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, so Bamba is still worth a look as a streaming choice. Also,
Nicolas Batum should see an increase in minutes with Zubac and
Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out on Wednesday.

According to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Los Angeles Clippers center
Ivica Zubac (eye) won't suit up on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. After playing through a back injury, Zubac was poked in the eye during Sunday's game against the Lakers. He posted 21 points, 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes before suffering the eye injury. While the 27-year-old is out of action,
Kai Jones and
Mo Bamba could take extra minutes. However, the two centers will not impact fantasy this evening.

Los Angeles Clippers center
Ivica Zubac (back) will play on Sunday night against the Lakers. The veteran has a back injury, so he was in danger of missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Fortunately, he'll be out there for the intracity clash between the clubs. He has had the best season since entering the National Basketball Association, averaging career-highs in points (14.9), rebounds (12.5), and assists (2.6), making him worthy of a start in any fantasy format. With that in mind, his presence will mean less work for
Mo Bamba and
Nicolas Batum, who would have both been in line for more minutes.
