Mason Plumlee News: Plays 22 minutes in loss

Plumlee provided four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-106 loss to the Nuggets.

Plumlee saw extended minutes Sunday due to the absence of Moussa Diabate (knee) and did a fine job backing up rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner. If Diabate returns for the Hornets' next game Friday against Chicago, Plumlee will revert to the third-string center and may not even see the court.
