  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Plumlee ended Monday's 109-99 loss to the Magic with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists in 23 minutes. Plumlee filled in for Jusuf Nurkic (ankle), who had to take a day off after attempting to play through an injury. Although Plumlee didn't produce as a scorer, he held up in the paint with 11 boards and outdid Goga Bitadze in the category. If Nurkic needs more time to heal, Plumlee will be in line for another start against the Knicks on Wednesday evening.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Plumlee will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. The Suns will opt for a big lineup with Plumlee starting alongside Jusuf Nurkic in the frontcourt -- Josh Okogie will slide to the bench. Plumlee has carved out a significant role with the Suns this year, during which he has averaged 5.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.5 blocks across 17.3 minutes per game in 12 regular-season appearances (one start).

• Suns' Mason Plumlee: Shines in spot start

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Plumlee produced 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 victory over the Jazz. Plumlee turned back the clock, recording his first double-double of the season. Jusuf Nurkic was sidelined with an ongoing ankle concern, allowing Plumlee to start for the first time since joining the Suns. If Nurkic is forced to miss additional time, Plumlee is likely to hold onto the starting role, making him a nightly double-double threat, with a proven ability to provide serviceable assist numbers from the center position.

• Suns' Mason Plumlee: Strong performance off bench

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Plumlee chipped in six points (2-2 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to Sacramento. With Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) leaving the game early, Plumlee saw increased run. He tied his season high in minutes played and set high-water marks in rebounds and assists. If Nurkic is forced to miss time, Plumlee would likely slide into the starting lineup, but the veteran center has limited upside.
