Veteran center Mason Plumlee signing with Kings

Free agent center Mason Plumlee is signing a deal with the Sacramento Kings, his representatives, Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of Priority Sports, told ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday.

Plumlee is entering his 14th NBA season. He played last season for the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs, appearing in 20 games with three starts. He averaged 1.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 8.6 minutes.

His last consistent action came in 2024-25 with the Phoenix Suns, where he played in 74 games and averaged 4.5 points and 6.1 rebounds.

The Kings are off to a 1-10 start that had them tied for last place in the league entering Wednesday's games.

They had an open roster spot after Sunday's trade of second-year wing Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two second-round picks.
