The San Antonio Spurs have signed veteran center Mason Plumlee to a 10-day contract, adding depth to their frontcourt as they make a push for the playoffs. Plumlee, a 13-year NBA veteran, was recently waived by the Oklahoma City Thunder after being traded there from the Charlotte Hornets.
Why it matters
The Spurs are currently second in the Western Conference standings and looking to solidify their roster for the final stretch of the season. Plumlee's addition provides an experienced backup center option behind their young star Victor Wembanyama and other bigs on the roster.

Last season with the Phoenix Suns, he played in 74 games and averaged 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists. The Spurs have four other centers on their roster, but are bringing in Plumlee on a 10-day deal to help manage the workload down the stretch.
- The Spurs signed Plumlee to a 10-day contract on February 18, 2026.
