Big news for LA Clippers fans! The team has officially extended the contract of their star center, Ivica Zubac, securing him for three more years with a total deal worth $56.8 million.
At 27 years old, the Croatian powerhouse has been a vital part of the Clippers' lineup. Last season, Zubac averaged 11.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game, boasting an impressive 64.9% field goal percentage. His efficiency was among the league's best, ranking third in field goal rate behind only NBA giants Rudy Gobert and Daniel Gafford.
But that's not all! Zubac was a defensive beast, limiting opponents' shots at the rim to just 49.6%—the best in the league among players who defended over 200 shots, according to Second Spectrum.
The Clippers wrapped up the 2023-24 regular season with 51 wins, finishing fourth in the Western Conference. Although their playoff run was cut short by the Dallas Mavericks, Zubac stepped up, averaging 16.2 points and 9.3 rebounds in the first round.
This extension not only highlights Zubac's value to the team but also sets the stage for an exciting future ahead for the Clippers. Stay tuned for more updates!
