Former Duke center Marshall Plumlee went undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft, but was able to sign a multi-year contract as a rookie free agent with the New York Knicks. He has competed in the NBA D-League with the Westchester Knicks so far this season, but recently shared an interesting story on his NBA debut over the weekend.
Marshall Plumlee received a phone call from the Knicks on Sunday saying “Hey, we need you to guard Dwight Howard” hours before the team’s game against the Atlanta Hawks that day after starting center Joakim Noah was ruled out with an illness.
