Mason Plumlee is only a rookie, but that hasn’t stopped him from performing in the absence of Brook Lopez, who’s out for the season with a broken foot. The former Duke standout had a nice all-around game on Tuesday night, scoring 8 points, grabbing 8 boards, and recording 3 blocks. one of which was this beauty on LeBron James.
If you watch the replay carefully, it looks like a foul, especially with the respect LeBron is given by referees league-wide. But, give credit to Plumlee for not pulling an Ekpe Udoh and getting out of the way.
