Hits for 17 points from bench Plowden racked up 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 117-113 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Plowden has been with the parent club since late January. Although his numbers have jumped around a bit, his steady involvement has made a case for a roster spot with the 2026-27 edition of the Kings. After failing to catch on with the Hawks during his rookie season, Plowden has a better spot to continue his career with the injury-riddled Kings. The team is running with a shallow rotation as the season draws to a close, so Plowden's minutes should remain consistent through the final two weeks.
