Clippers and Ivica Zubac agree to 3-year, $58.6 million contract extension

Ivica Zubac and the Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a three-year, $58.6 million contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2027-28 season, Excel’s agent Jeff Schwartz said Saturday.

Zubac averaged a career-high 11.7 points and 9.2 rebounds last season, when the 27-year-old center shot 65% from the field in the regular season, while also averaging 16.2 points in the Clippers’ loss to Dallas in six games of the Western Conference playoffs.

The Serbian player had one year and $11.7 million left on his current contract. Zubac, who was traded from the Lakers in February 2019, is the franchise’s longest-tenured Clipper as the team prepares to play its first season in its new stadium in Inglewood.
