Mason Plumlee (groin) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

The big man suffered a groin injury on Monday and was not able to return to the game. He will also be sidelined on Tuesday because of it, and the timetable for his recovery is unclear at this point. Look for Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Moussa Diabate to benefit from his absence.

Mason Plumlee exited Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with right groin soreness and will not return.

Fantasy Impact

Plumlee’s night ended with five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 FT) and five rebounds in 10 minutes. With the Charlotte Hornets thin at center, Moussa Diabate is set to see more playing time for the remainder of the game.

Plumlee was assigned to the G League’s Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. The veteran center has averaged just 3.8 minutes across three appearances this season and will join the Swarm for additional practice work.

Fantasy Impact

Plumlee’s stint with Greensboro is expected to be brief, as he’s likely just participating in practice alongside LaMelo Ball (ankle). He should be recalled shortly afterward and remains on the fringes of Charlotte’s rotation.

Mason Plumlee has agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets.

Mason Plumlee (quad) is without an injury designation for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

The big man was previously dealing with a quad injury, but he is over it now and is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him for the foreseeable future.
