Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Coming off bench in return

Zubac will come off the bench against the Celtics on Saturday, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Zubac was cleared to return from a five-game absence due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain, well ahead of schedule given the nature of his injury. He won't be rushed back to a full workload and will operate on a minutes restriction off the bench, so Brook Lopez will likely remain in the starting lineup and Yanic Konan Niederhauser should also see some minutes in the rotation.
