Ivica Zubac Uncertain For Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

New Orleans Pelicans center Willy Hernangomez will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Maxi Kleber Will Play Limited Minutes Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will play a reduced role on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Kleber is returning after about a two and a half month break due to a right hamstring tear so the limited minutes makes sense from a coaching perspective.
