Marshall Plumlee

On January 15, 2018, Plumlee signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. Throughout the season, he split his playing time between the Bucks and their NBA G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd.

On September 27, 2017, Plumlee signed with the Los Angeles Clippers. He was waived by the Clippers on October 14, 2017 after appearing in four preseason games. A week later, he was named in the inaugural Agua Caliente Clippers training camp roster. He went on to earn a spot in the team's opening-night roster.

Plumlee played with the senior United States national team at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup, where he won a gold medal.

After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Plumlee joined the New York Knicks for the 2016 NBA Summer League. On July 8, 2016, he signed with the Knicks. During his rookie season, he had multiple assignments to the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League. Plumlee made his NBA debut on November 20, 2016 against the Atlanta Hawks. He was rushed into the city from his D-League assignment when starting center Joakim Noah was sent home due to illness. He gathered a rebound and committed a foul in five minutes of action in a win over the Hawks. On July 7, 2017, he was waived by the Knicks.

Plumlee earned a commission into the United States Army as an Infantry Officer through Duke University's Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. He participated in a ROTC contracting ceremony on January 23, 2015 on the court of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Upon graduating from Duke, Plumlee commissioned into the New York National Guard in 2017, while playing for the New York Knicks. In 2019, Lieutenant Plumlee graduated from Ranger School, with his mother affixing the Ranger Tab, and transitioned to an active duty military status. According to Plumlee, his inspiration to serve in the military stemmed from his childhood just as his desire to play professional basketball. General Robert Brooks Brown, the current Commanding General of United States Army Pacific, became a mentor of Plumlee's in high school. Both men played collegiate basketball under coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Plumlee was ranked highly by every major recruiting website. ESPN ranked him as the #36 player in the country, author Art Chansky called him a borderline top 50 prospect in Duke – Carolina – the Blue Blood Rivalry, the Master Collection, while Scout.com ranked him as the #68 player in the country, and Rivals.com ranked him as the #79 player in the country.

In Plumlee's freshman year at Duke, both of his brothers were on the team and Marshall redshirted. He made his debut in 2012–13, but was limited by a stress fracture in his foot. In Plumlee's junior year he saw limited action, playing 8.5 minutes per game in 30 contests. By his senior year, Plumlee had developed into a steady inside defender, used to spell freshman phenom Jahlil Okafor and contributing to Duke's national championship victory over Wisconsin. During his final season at Duke, Plumlee served as a team captain along with Amile Jefferson and Matt Jones.

Plumlee was a part of a five-player recruiting class for Duke in 2011, which also included Austin Rivers, Alex Murphy, Quinn Cook, and Michael Gbinije. Duke's class was the second-best recruiting class in 2011, according to ESPNU.

Plumlee grew up with brothers Miles and Mason, and they reunited during the 2011–12 basketball season at Duke University; they also have a sister named Madeleine, who plays volleyball at the University of Notre Dame. They were only the third trio of brothers to play on the same college basketball team at the same time.

Plumlee decided to follow in his brothers' footsteps and committed to play basketball at Duke University on July 11, 2010. He chose Duke over Florida, Michigan, Indiana, and Notre Dame.
