LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac will sit out several weeks because of a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Sunday.
Zubac exited in the first half of Saturday's 103-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers and did not return. He fell to the court in a heap late in the first quarter and immediately hobbled to the locker room for evaluation and Brook Lopez substituted in for him. Zubac finished with five points and two rebounds in 11 minutes.
Before the game, Lakers center Jaxson Hayes said Zubac -- who was averaging 16 points and 11.5 rebounds headed into the win -- would be a challenge.
