The Charlotte Hornets are on the board in NBA free agency, signing center Mason Plumlee to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the squad, Shams Charania of ESPN reported. Plumlee, 35, was with the Hornets from 2021-22 to parts of 2022-23, before being dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2023.
He spent the last year with the Suns, averaging 4.5 points on 61.9% from the field across 74 games with the team. He was in a center room with several other former Hornets, including Nick Richards and Jusuf Nurkic.
After the Hornets dealt Nurkic yesterday to the Utah Jazz and Mark Williams last week to the Phoenix Suns, it was expected that the team would look to bring in another center to add front-court depth.
