Ivica Zubac has come to an agreement on a three-year, $58.6 million extension with the LA Clippers, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The 27-year-old is now tied to the franchise for $70 million through the 2027-2028 season.
Zubac is fresh off a year in which he averaged a career-high 11.7 ppg on 67.1 TS% to go along with 9.2 rpg in 68 starts.
He has also proven to be one of the league’s more underrated rim protectors having held opponents to under 50% shooting from the rim a year ago.
Zubac has become a key cog in the Clippers rotation since being traded from crosstown rivals the Lakers mid-way through the 2018/19 season.
Now entering his ninth year in the association, the Croatian big man provides the Clippers – who lost Paul George in free agency – a steady presence in the middle as they prepare to open their new Inglewood arena.
