Sunday was not just a big day for Los Angeles Clippers star Ivica Zubac – it was a huge day.

Zubac dropped 31 points and 29 points in the win against the Indiana Pacers.
He also had 3 blocks and 3 assists on top of that and was 14-of-17 from the field.
This was a huge night for a huge talent and fans of the Clippers are hoping that Zubac has a lot more to offer the team in the weeks and months ahead.
Oh, What A Night
Zubac just became the first player to score 30 points and 25 rebounds in a game while shooting at least 80% since Shaquille O’Neal back in 2004.
He is also just the third player in the history of the league to have at least 31 points, 29 rebounds, and 3 blocks in a single game and the first to do it since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar all the way back in 1978.
Wow.
The other players on the team were cheering Zubac on.
They have known for a long time just how special he is.
Throughout his career, Zubac has played for both the Lakers and Clippers and has been a reliable center who doesn’t get a lot of attention or garner many headlines.
But he’s coming into his own a lot more with this latest iteration of the Clippers.
He started in every game last season and has done the same so far this year.
He’s becoming a crucial part of the team and their dreams of finally making the Finals.
Following Sunday’s huge game, you can easily see why.
