What happened: Free-agent center Mason Plumlee is signing with the Sacramento Kings, ESPN's Shams Charania reports, citing Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of Priority Sports. Plumlee enters his 14th NBA season.
Why it matters: Sacramento sits 14th in the standings at 1-10 through 11 games in 2026-27, on a four-game losing streak. The addition gives the Kings another veteran big man as they look to turn the season around.
By the numbers: Kings last game: lost 100-107 to the Orlando Magic on Nov. 10.
What to watch: Watch for the contract terms and when Plumlee joins the rotation.
