Won't play Friday
Lopez (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Warriors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Análise
Along with Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Nicolas Batum and Chris Paul, Lopez will sit out the Clippers' preseason finale. The veteran center is expected to be ready to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Jazz.

Posts 16 points from bench
Lopez logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 109-91 preseason win over the Kings.
Análise
Lopez should be the big man coming out with the second unit, and Ivica Zubac is unlikely to yield many first-unit minutes to his teammates. Since Lopez has a serviceable midrange game and can stretch the floor with apt perimeter shooting, it's possible that he could share the court with Zubac on occasion when John Collins takes a seat.

Pops for 15 points off bench
Lopez scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding three blocks, a rebound and an assist in 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 102-94 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
Análise
The veteran center appears to be nearly in midseason form as he supplied his usual strong production at the rim and from beyond the arc. Lopez will back up Ivica Zubac in the Clippers' frontcourt this season, which means he's highly unlikely to see the 30-plus minutes a game he grew used to getting in Milwaukee, but a shift to the second unit should allow the 37-year-old to prolong his career while still being effective on a per-minute basis.
