Won't play Tuesday
Plumlee (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.
Analysis
Plumlee, who signed a rest-of-season contract with San Antonio on Friday, won't make his team debut Tuesday as he continues to ramp up following right groin surgery in late December. The veteran center's next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against Detroit.

Out for Sunday
Plumlee (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
Plumlee signed a rest-of-season contract with San Antonio on Friday, but he will remain on the sidelines Sunday as he continues to work back into game shape following late-December surgery on his right groin. The veteran center has yet to make an appearance for the Spurs since originally joining the club on a 10-day contract Feb. 17. Even once Plumlee is cleared to suit up, he is expected to serve as an emergency depth option in a center group that already features Victor Wembanyama, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk.

Back with Spurs on one-year deal
Plumlee agreed to a rest-of-season contract with the Spurs on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Plumlee's 10-day deal with San Antonio expired Friday without him having made an appearance for the club while he worked to get reconditioned following a lengthy absence due to groin surgery. The Spurs had the option of re-signing Plumlee to a second 10-day deal, but they instead elected to bring him aboard for the remainder of the season to provide emergency depth in the frontcourt. The veteran center is unlikely to be a regular member of head coach Mitch Johnson's rotation.
