Mason Plumlee News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Won't play Thursday Plumlee won't play in Thursday's game against Phoenix due to return to competition reconditioning, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Plumlee signed a 10-day contract Tuesday, but he'll require an uncertain amount of time to ramp up before being available to make his Spurs debut. The veteran center underwent surgery in late December to address a groin injury, and his injury type being only conditioning indicates he's recovered from the issue. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Sacramento.

Inks pact with San Antonio Plumlee (groin) signed a 10-day contract with the Spurs on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Plumlee underwent surgery in late December to address a right groin injury before being traded from Charlotte to Oklahoma City in early February. However, the veteran big man was waived shortly thereafter. It's unclear whether Plumlee will be cleared to suit up immediately, though he can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns. Over 14 regular-season appearances (two starts) with the Hornets in 2025-26, he averaged 1.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes per contest.

Impact Plumlee was used sparingly by Charlotte across 14 appearances before he was sidelined by a groin surgery. He's scheduled to be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, and he'll likely draw some interest from contending teams in need of frontcourt depth.

Impact Plumlee had missed four consecutive games with a strained right groin before going under the knife. The veteran center will be sidelined until at least mid-February.

Impact It's unclear as to when Plumlee suffered the injury, but the team has elected to shut him down for the night. He can be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington until further notice.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Plumlee is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The veteran center is getting the start in place of the injured Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow). Plumlee logged 23 minutes in his lone start of the season during the Nov. 23 loss in Atlanta, so a rise in streaming appeal should be expected Monday.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless again Saturday Plumlee contributed one rebound, one assist and one steal in seven minutes during Saturday's 112-86 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Plumless continues to play a non-existent role, serving as the third-string center behind Ryan Kalkbrenner and Moussa Diabate. In 13 appearances this season, the veteran is averaging just 1.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per game, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Ex-Nuggets big man is becoming absolutely unplayable It's been over five years since Mason Plumlee last suited up for the Denver Nuggets.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • NUGGLOVE.COM

Plays 22 minutes in loss Plumlee provided four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-106 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Plumlee saw extended minutes Sunday due to the absnece of Moussa Diabate (knee) and did a fine job backing up rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner. If Diabate returns for the Hornets' next game Friday against Chicago, Plumlee will revert back to the third string, and may not even see the court.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Wednesday Plumlee is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact No surprise here, given that rookie standout Ryan Kalkbrenner is back in the lineup for the Hornets. Plumlee has averaged 1.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 9.6 minutes per contest over six games this month, leaving him with little to no fantasy appeal Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Kalkbrenner Plumlee will start Sunday's game against Atlanta, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact With Ryan Kalkbrenner (ankle) sidelined, Plumlee will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The veteran big man has played a limited role thus far, and he has averaged just 7.0 minutes per contest over his last five appearances dating back to Nov. 2.

Impact Plumlee is back with Charlotte after spending the afternoon with the Swarm to get some practice reps alongside LaMelo Ball (ankle). Plumlee has been unable to crack the rotation in Charlotte outside of a few brief appearances.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Plumlee was assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Plumlee has been out of Charlotte's rotation for the most part with an average of 3.8 minutes across three appearances. Plumlee is likely just getting some practice reps along with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and will be recalled after the practice.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Didn't play season opener Plumlee didn't see the floor during Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Plumlee was one of three players for his squad who sat out due to a coach's decision. Ryan Kalkbrenner and Moussa Diabate shouldered the load in the frontcourt, leaving questions as to whether Plumlee will have any fantasy value moving forward.
