Still going strong a decade into his NBA career, Mason Plumlee ’09 is on the move again.
Christ School was delighted to have Mason only two hours away in Charlotte. His postgame talks to the boys had been a highlight of recent Student Activities trips. Best of all, he was thriving with the Hornets, who traded the Greenie on Thursday to the Los Angeles Clippers for Reggie Jackson, a 2028 second-round draft pick, and cash considerations.
Mason, 32, is averaging 12.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game this season. He is expected to be a backup center for the Clippers.
Originally drafted out of Duke University in 2013, Mason has since played for Brooklyn (2013-15), Portland (2015-17), Denver (2017-2020), Detroit (2020-21), Charlotte (2021-23), and now L.A.
Mason was inducted into Christ School’s Athletic Hall of Fame last year. Among his accomplishments were leading the Greenies to three state championships and a record of 99-8 during that time. He was a 2009 McDonald’s All-American, Parade All-American, and Slam All-American.
