Free agent big man Mason Plumlee has agreed on a one-year, $5 million deal to return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Plumlee landed with Clippers at the deadline and decides to stay with LA despite bigger financial offers elsewhere.

Plumlee was having a strong season with the Charlotte Hornets in ’22/23, averaging 12.2 PPG, 9.7 RPG, and 3.7 APG as a full-time starter, before being sent to L.A. at the February trade deadline.
