Mason Plumlee’s subtle brilliance on display in Phoenix

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. He was a dependable backup, rooted in strong fundamentals, and more than capable of outperforming our backup big in one-on-one matchups.
