The San Antonio Spurs have signed veteran center Mason Plumlee for the remainder of the 2025-26 NBA season. Plumlee, who is 35 years old, was previously on a 10-day contract with the Spurs after being waived by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will now join the Spurs' roster as they look to contend for an NBA championship this season.
Why it matters
The addition of Plumlee gives the Spurs more depth and experience at the center position, which could be crucial as they make a push for the playoffs. Plumlee has been a role-playing big man in recent years, but his size and veteran presence could provide valuable minutes off the bench.
The details
Plumlee has bounced around the league this season, signing a one-year, $3.63 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets before being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He underwent groin surgery in late December, which led to the Thunder waiving him.
