Mason Plumlee Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee will shift into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers are going to need Plumlee to step up with Ivica Zubac (calf) sidelined for at least the next four weeks. Plumlee will get the starting nod on Tuesday, while Daniel Theis operates as the primary backup center. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Theis gets a few starts depending on the matchup. Both players could have streaming appeal depending on the matchup, but aren't must-have fantasy options.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue says center Mason Plumlee (knee) did a "slow run" on the court recently but is still a ways away from practicing 5-on-5 in his recovery. Plumlee had to be carried off the Madison Square Garden court on Nov. 8 and was later diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his left knee. Due out for roughly another month, Plumlee is in line to be re-evaluated in the next week or two. In a muted reserve role off L.A.'s bench, the versatile 33-year-old big man was not relevant in fantasy hoops by averaging 5.0 points on 63.2% field-goal shooting and 5.5 rebounds in 17.0 minutes over six games. Ivica Zubac is locked in as L.A.'s preferred traditional center, but his minutes can fluctuate depending on matchup. After being a regular member of the DNP-CD club with the Indiana Pacers, Daniel Theis has gotten comfortable in his new digs as a consistent part of the team's second unit since linking up with the Clippers on Nov. 17.

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee (knee) has suffered a left MCL sprain, sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The big guy was injured Monday against the Knicks and had to be carried off the court. He has left the team's road trip to undergo further evaluation in Los Angeles, meaning Plumlee is out for at least the next two games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against Brooklyn. Plumlee's injury leaves the Clippers without a proper backup for starting center Ivica Zubac, although Brooklyn uses a lot of smaller lineups, and his absence will be more missed in the next game against Dallas. P.J. Tucker should get extra minutes off the bench with Plumlee out, but he's never been a great fantasy producer.

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee (knee) won't return to Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This doesn't come as a surprise after Plumlee needed to be carried off the court and into the locker room. The team is calling the injury a sprained left knee, which means Plumlee could miss some time from this issue. Ivica Zubac figures to play heavy minutes with the Clippers thin at the center spot. Possibly, the Clippers decide to go small-ball with Moussa Diabate and P.J. Tucker. Regardless, Zubac is likely to benefit the most with the loss of Plumlee.

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee (knee) suffered what looked to be a significant injury during Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The big man appeared to have hyperextended his knee while attempting to get a loose ball. The veteran center needed to be carried back to the locker room in order to be further examined. The fact Plumlee wasn't able to walk is not a good sign. Fantasy managers should get another update on his status later in the night. In the meantime, Ivica Zubac is likely to play big minutes with the Clippers extremely thin at the center spot.

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee is set to become a free agent this season. Recently, Clippers team president Lawrence Frank mentioned he'd love to bring back Plumlee this offseason. The Clippers acquired Plumlee mid-season in a deal with the Charlotte Hornets. He mainly came off the bench, while Ivica Zubac remained the starter. Despite coming off the bench, Plumlee played well and has shown he's capable of contributing even as a bench player. It'll be interesting to see if the two sides can find common ground on a deal this offseason.

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee posted a strong performance in just 24 minutes off of the bench despite suffering a six-point loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Plumlee, along with the rest of the bench squad, were the only Clippers to obtain a positive plus/minus in this game as they tried to fight back without their two superstars. The 33-year-old out of Duke ended the game with 20 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and one steal on 6-for-7 shooting and 8-for-9 from the charity stripe.

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (foot) was unable to finish Monday's preseason matchup against the Washington Wizards. The big man reportedly suffered a left foot sprain and was unable to return to action. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment. P.J. Williams, Nick Richards and Mark Williams would all see a boost in playing time, assuming Plumlee is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Plumlee.

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee had one of his best games of the season on Monday, producing a season-high 15 points and nine rebounds with three assists, two steals and three blocks in a blowout win over Houston, making all seven shots from the field. Plumlee had scored just 25 points in total in five December appearances prior to Monday. He doesn't feature a lot for the Hornets but managed to log 29 minutes here. The big guy should be in for a busy night again on Wednesday against the Pacers, who have multiple frontcourt threats. It's an awful matchup for him offensively, but Plumlee will be doing all the dirty work again.

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (ribs) will start Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Plumlee is returning to the court for the first time since November 26th and immediately slide into the starting five, pushing Nick Richards to the bench. Richards started Monday, but only played 3 minutes. Plumlee starting means P.J. Washington should take a small hit, but Washington has been solid as backup center even with Plumlee out. Plumlee is averaging 6.8 points and 7.3 rebounds in 26.1 minutes as a starter this season.
