Mason Plumlee joined the Suns after spending a season and a half with the Los Angeles Clippers, a team that posed consistent challenges. Facing the Clippers meant preparing for their starting center, Ivica Zubac, but the task didn’t ease when he took a seat. When Plumlee stepped onto the court, it wasn’t a moment for relief or celebration.
