Mason Plumlee, Kings Reportedly Agree to Contract After Spurs Stint, Updated NBA Depth Chart

After going unsigned this offseason, Mason Plumlee has found a new team.

Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the veteran center has agreed to a deal with the Sacramento Kings.

POS	Starter	2nd	3rd
PG	Darius Acuff Jr.	Malik Monk	Sean Pedulla
SG	Zach LaVine	Emanuel Sharp	Daeqwon Plowden
SF	De'Andre Hunter	Keegan Murray	Alex Karaban
PF	Keegan Murray	Pecious Achiuwa	Jonathan Mogbo
C	Domantas Sabonis	Dyland Cardwell	Mason Plumlee

The Kings mark the ninth different team Plumlee has played for in his 14-year NBA career.

He was drafted by the Brooklyn Nets in 2013 after his outstanding career with Duke and went on to spend two and a half seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers before being traded to the Denver Nuggets.

Plumee played for the Nuggets until 2020, when he joined the Detroit Pistons for the 2020-21 campaign. After that, he joined the Charlotte Hornets for the 2021-22 season but was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2023-23 season.

He signed with the Phoenix Suns for the 2024-25 campaign before returning to Charlotte last year. The Hornets traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder before last season's deadline, but he was immediately waived.

Following his release from the Thunder, Plumee signed a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs and ended up earning a spot on the roster for the rest of the season, though he appeared in just 12 total games with the team.

Plumlee, 36, hasn't been a regular starter since the 2022-23 campaign, and that likely won't change in Sacramento. The Kings are set at the center position with Domantas Sabonis as the starter and Dylan Cardwell coming off the bench.

But even in the reserve role, Plumlee will look to play a valuable role on a rebuilding Kings team.

While there is some talent in Sacramento, the Kings are presumably playing for the future after a 1-10 start.
