News about Mason Plumlee

In Los Angeles' vital road victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, a tense confrontation on the Clippers bench prompted one teammate to shove another. With a 119-114 victory, the Clippers secured their fifth seed in the forthcoming Western Conference playoffs, but all of that seemed unlikely as tension between Mason Plumee and Bones Hyland erupted before the fourth quarter. Following the third frame, Plumlee confronted Hyland, causing the 6-foot-2 guard to shove the 7-foot center. Terance Mann and Norman Powell, both basketball players, were aided by assistant coach and former NBA guard Dahntay Jones, who aided the two teams.
