Sokolowski-Imagn Images | John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images The Spurs have signed center Mason Plumlee for th e remainder of the season. They first signed him to a 10-day contract — you guessed it — 10 days ago, and now they’re making it permanent. Mason Plumlee is signing a deal with the San Antonio Spurs for the remainder of the season, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. Plumlee completed his first 10-day contract and now will finish his 13th NBA season in San Antonio. https://t.co/FYMiJDfzq5— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 27, 2026 Plumlee has yet to appear in a game for the Spurs as he works his way back into game shape, having last played on Dec. 22 for the Charlotte Hornets. He was signed after the Spurs waived Jeremy Sochan (who went on to sign with the Knicks) to help shore up their depth at the center position. While Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet have been one of the best starter/back-up combinations in the league, both have had injuries at times this season, so having that third insurance policy player is important. By signing Plumlee before the March 1 Playoff Eligibility Waiver Deadline, he will be eligible to play in the postseason. (It’s so nice we can say that again, let alone without having to attach any caveats such as “if they make the playoffs” — although to be fair, they technically haven’t yet.) The signing solidifies the Spurs’ roster at 15 guaranteed players, so if they wish to sign any other players, they’ll need to waive someone themselves. (Jordan McLaughlin would be the most likely candidate, but the odds of that are likely slim at this point. There’s no reason to mess with a good thing.) Welcome to San Antonio for good, Mason! ...read more read less
