Clippers Sign Ivica Zubac to Extension

The Los Angeles Clippers have secured center Ivica Zubac with a three-year, $58.6 million contract extension, which will keep him with the team for a total of four years at $70 million. Zubac, entering his ninth NBA season, averaged a career-high 11.7 points and 9.2 rebounds last season while shooting 64.9% from the field. His performance has positioned him as one of the NBA's better centers, and the extension was the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Zubac has been with the Clippers for six of his eight seasons, having joined from the Lakers in 2018. This move comes amid other roster changes for the Clippers, including the loss of Paul George and the retention of guard James Harden. Zubac is expected to play a crucial role as the Clippers continue to build their roster for upcoming seasons.
