Ivica Zubac Shines in Clippers' Season Start

Ivica Zubac has emerged as a pivotal player for the LA Clippers in the 2024-25 NBA season amidst the absence of stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Zubac's performance against the Golden State Warriors was notable, registering 23 points, 18 rebounds, and six assists, making him the second center in franchise history to start the season with three consecutive 20+ point games. Meanwhile, James Harden, another significant player for the Clippers, delivered a strong performance with 29 points in an overtime loss to the Suns but missed key free throws that could have extended the game. The Warriors, led by Buddy Hield's 27 points, continue their strong start, overpowering the Utah Jazz with a 127-86 victory. Hield has made a historic start with the Warriors, hitting 12 of 16 three-pointers in his first two games, helping the team to consecutive emphatic wins.
