In under 60 minutes, the LA Clippers host the Boston Celtics at the Intuit Dome. This battle is a test for LA, which is competing for its seventh consecutive win, and it features Ivica Zubac, the Croatian-born center who made an absurdly fast recovery from a grade-two ankle sprain.
However, this is not the norm for the veteran big man; head coach Tyronn Lue announced that Zubac will come off the bench. It was a player-made decision that showcased nothing but selflessness and a team-first mentality.
Ivica Zubac volunteered to come off the bench because the Clippers have found a good rhythm for the first time all season.
