Ivica Zubac is having another great season with the LA Clippers. The 7-footer has established himself as one of the most efficient insider scorers and rebounders in the league and is averaging a double-double for the first time in his career.

Zubac's latest performance, however, wasn't really great. He had a rather pedestrian performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately for him, his numbers may not have been the worst thing about this game.

During a timeout break on Friday night, Zubac was trapped in the middle of a dance routine performed by Timberwolves dancers. Since he was surrounded by dancers, the Clippers big man had to patiently wait for the routine to end, which looked hilarious.

Zubac is averaging 10.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game this season. He's also incredibly efficient, converting 62.3% of his total field goals. On Friday night, however, he just wasn't himself.

The six-year NBA veteran ended the night with nine points on 4-for-8 shooting. He grabbed only two rebounds in 21 minutes on the floor and finished the game with the team-worst -26 on/off rating.

While the big man could have put on a better show, his below-average numbers were not the only bad thing about the game. During a timeout break, the 25-year-old center was trapped among the Timberwolves cheerleaders.

The LA Clippers ended up losing the game 128-115, and despite Rudy Gobert's impressive 20-20 game, it was Ivica Zubac who received the most attention.


NBA fans react to hilarious video

NBA fans had a field day after watching a video of Zubac getting trapped. There were many memes and reactions to this video all over the internet, and some of them were very funny.

One Reddit user said they wished that the LA Clippers center would start dancing as well. There is no doubt that this would have made the video even better, but Zubac probably wasn't in the mood for dancing since he had a game of basketball to play.

Other users made up their own version of the "record scratch" meme featuring the young center.
