ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/contributor\/shams-charania\/6ae6905bc666a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that the Spurs signed veteran center Mason Plumlee to a 10-day contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 35-year-old center will join the team after the Spurs opened up a roster spot by waiving Jeremy Sochan last week. Plumlee started the season with the Charlotte Hornets, but played in only 14 games, averaging 1.9 points and 2.9 rebounds. He last appeared in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 22. The 13-year veteran has averaged 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds over his career. This will be Plumlee\u2019s eighth NBA team, but he is most known for his time with the Brooklyn Nets and Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Plumlee adds some needed depth and a veteran presence to San Antonio\u2019s locker room. The move closely mirrors what the Spurs did last season by signing Bismack Biyombo, although with less desperation. A healthy Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet likely leave Plumlee out of the rotation, but he\u2019s another break-in-case-of-emergency option to go alongside Biyombo and Kelly Olynyk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Plumlee is best known for his passing and IQ from the center position. He\u2019s averaged 2.4 assists for his career, making quick reads off handoffs and in the short roll. He\u2019s a solid pick-and-roll player due to his strength and IQ. In his prime, he was a good athlete who could contest shots and run the rim for dunks. He doesn\u2019t thrive as a shooter or finisher inside and isn\u2019t well-regarded as a rim protector. More than anything, he\u2019s another big body on a cheap deal who can step in and play spot minutes if the Spurs are shorthanded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It remains to be seen if Plumlee sticks around for the Spurs\u2019 end-of-the-season run for the playoffs. San Antonio can sign him to a full deal once his 10-day contract is up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Spurs are adding some depth to their front court.
