This followingnoon, Mason Plumlee was on our table of top free agents still available following three days of Free Agency. Now we can cross it off the list. The 33-year-old pivot actually decided to continue the adventure at the Clippers on Monday.
Shortly following Russell Westbrook extended his contract at a discount price, the Clippers extended another player at a low price.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski ofESPNMason Plumlee has actually signed a new contract with the Los Angeles franchise, worth five million dollars over one season.
Alright Clippers! Mason Plumlee stacks up to only 5 million, two good extensions with Russ!

According to Woj, Plumlee received other more lucrative offers elsewhere before choosing to stay in the City of Angels. The effect of the good weather so characteristic of Los Angeles? Maybe. But it is above all the sign of a good integration of Plumlee since his arrival in California at the trade deadline of February 2023.
Transferred from the Hornets where he remained on his best stats in career (12.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists), Plumlee brought quality minutes in a role of pivot replacing behind Ivica Zubac. 23 games played in total for Mason in LA, 19 off the bench, all for honest figures of 7.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 20 minutes per night, at almost 73% success in shot. The former Charlotte pivot then brought a slightly higher production (more than 8 points and almost 7 rebounds) in the first round of the Playoffs once morest the Suns (lost 4-1 by the Clippers).
Enough to convince the Los Angeles franchise to extend it, and to convince himself to stay.
