Clippers ship Zubac to Pacers for Mathurin, Jackson and two first‑round picks
The Clippers are trading center Ivica Zubac to the Indiana Pacers for Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson, plus the Pacers’ 2026 first-round pick (top-four protected and 10–30 protected), the Pacers’ 2029 unprotected first-round pick, and the Mavericks’ 2028 second-round pick. Los Angeles also receives Kobe Brown, with a conditional 2031 unprotected first-rounder going to the Clippers if the 2026 pick doesn’t finish 5–9. The deal pairs Indiana’s need for a starting center with L.A.’s move to add youth and multiple future picks during a potential rebuild.
