July 13: The Plumlee signing is official, writes Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer (via Twitter).
June 30: Journeyman center Mason Plumlee is joining the Hornets on a one-year, veteran’s minimum contract, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets.
Plumlee will make $3.6MM in 2025/26, though his cap hit will only be approximately $2.3MM.
This will be his second stint in Charlotte. Plumlee also played there for two seasons from 2021-23. The 35-year-old has also played for Brooklyn, Portland, Denver, Detroit, the Clippers and Phoenix in a career that began in 2013.
Plumlee was a rotation big for the Suns this past season. He appeared in 74 games, including 21 starts, averaging 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.6 minutes per game. He has appeared in 860 games over the course of his 12 NBA seasons.
After adding Mark Williams via trade and Khaman Maluach via the draft, there was no role for Plumlee next season in Phoenix. He could get ample playing time in the Hornets’ depleted frontcourt, depending on their other offseason moves.
Plumlee again with the hornets 🤔
Yep, it’s either one of the Plumlees or one of the Zellers. They always have a role in Charlotte.
Very true! Charlotte is a mess of an organization. Not sure who is worse- kings or the hornets organization
You can include the Warriors in that mess from about 1976 through 2015.
There was maybe three or four good seasons in 40 lol
This dude would look like MJ against Caitlin Clark
Imagine everyone in the NBA playing with Plumlee’s tenacity. Whew!
Plumlee is like their only experienced big.
They had to sign one. I’m surprised they didn’t draft one. Was thinking they could go for Maluach. After moving both their centers.
Don’t get this franchise. There is no direction here. It’s just non stop. Never stick to something to see it thru. Now they are shopping Ball. And all they draft is wings. Thibs should come here. He would straighten them out. And give them direction.
Can someone try list in chronological order every team Mason Plumlee has played for, using just your memory recall?
