- During warmups, Clippers center Iviac Zubac got caught inside a circle of his opponent's cheerleaders.
Life on the road can prove challenging for professional athletes.
And sometimes, it can be downright awkward.
Such was the case for Iviac Zubac, the Los Angeles Clippers' seven-foot center, as his team took on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis Friday night. As both sides formed layup lines to warm up on the court at Target Center, the Clippers' big man found himself caught in an extremely public snafu.
With a packed house of fans looking on, Zubac somehow became trapped inside a circle of Minnesota cheerleaders right in the heart of center court. He had no choice but to shuffle his feet and patiently — but awkwardly, to be sure — wait for the squad to finish its routine.
It was quite a sight to behold, and one that unsurprisingly gained traction with hundreds of thousands of Twitter users over the weekend.

Los Angeles went on to lose a 128-115 decision to the Karl-Anthony Towns-less Timberwolves, with Zubac contributing just nine points and two rebounds on the evening.
