Former Duke NCAA champion returns to the NBA on one-year contract

Former Duke center and NCAA champion Mason Pumlee is set to return to the NBA for his 14th season.

According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Plumlee has agreed to a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings. Plumlee, who played for both the Charlotte Hornets and the San Antonio Spurs a season ago, appeared in only 20 games, having underwent midseason surgery to address a groin injury. Plumlee, who was brought in as a veteran presence, averaged a career-low 1.6 points in 8.6 minutes per game.

At his peak, Plumlee flirted with a double-double, tallying 10.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 steals during the 2022-23 season.

In four years at Duke, Plumlee was a part of Duke's 2009-2010 championship squad as a freshman. He stayed with the Blue Devils all four years before being selected in the first-round of the 2013 NBA Draft by the Brooklyn Nets. In his senior season with the Blue Devils, Plumlee averaged 117.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, one steal and 1.4 blocks.
