NBL EXPERIENCE
Miles Plumlee made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 31 years of age. He scored six points in his first game.
The Wildcats’ first move of the 2019 off-season was re-signing four-time championship-winning coach Trevor Gleeson (three-year deal) as well as five-time championship-winning duo Damian Martin and Jesse Wagstaff and import Terrico White. In total, six members of the championship-winning squad would return, with Wani Swaka Lo Buluk being elevated from development player to the full roster and replace the retiring Greg Hire. The team also added Dario Hunt and Majok Majok to replace exiting big men Tom Jervis and Angus Brandt (to Europe).
Perth started the season in dominant fashion (5–1), but by round 10, had taken a step backwards (8-5) following back-to-back losses. The Wildcats regrouped behind four straight wins and closed out December with a 13–6 record. In December, Damian Martin played his 300th game for the Wildcats, then suffered a left heel injury, which saw him miss the entire month of January. After losing back-to-back games to start 2020, Gleeson and the Wildcat’s decided to release Dario Hunt (8.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists) and replace him with seven-year NBA Plumlee (9.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks).
The addition of Plumlee gave Perth the inside presence they needed, showcased in a Perth win over New Zealand (80–79), when he recorded 23 points and 18 rebounds, becoming the first Wildcat to record 20+ points and 15+ rebounds in a game since 2007.
With seven games remaining and Plumlee required to play all seven to qualify for the postseason, the Wildcat’s won six of seven games to secure a 34th consecutive finals appearance with a second-place finish (19–9). Fresh off his World Cup experience playing for the Australian Boomers, Nick Kay (15 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.1 steals) delivered a breakout season alongside Bryce Cotton (22.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists) who etched himself into the history books, becoming the first import to lead the league in scoring three years in a row.
In the semifinals, Perth defeated Cairns (2–1) to advance to their 15th NBL Grand Final where thanks to a big games from Cotton (32 points) and Kay (14 points and 6 rebounds) they claimed game one (88–86) in front of 11,647 rabid Kings fans.
As the team’s prepared for game two in Perth, it was decided that the remaining games would all take place with no fans in the building. Without a single fan in the building, the Kings evened the series (1-1) thanks to Jae’Sean Tate (21 points) nailing seven of his nine shots and Andrew Bogut (24 points and 14 rebounds) having one of his best games of the season.
In game three of the grand final series against the Sydney Kings, Kay (30 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists) delivered a career high scoring effort, including seven three-pointers alongside Cotton (31 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists) to propel Perth to a game three victory (111–96).
Prior to game four, the Sydney Kings chose to withdraw from the series due to uncertainties of the coronavirus and travel restrictions. With multiple Kings players based overseas, many were concerned the restrictions would prevent any return home. After a week spent deliberating, it was decided Perth would be awarded the championship due to holding a 2-1 lead at the time, securing their tenth title. After averaging 30.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists over the three games, Cotton was named Grand Final MVP for the second time in four years, becoming the first player in Wildcats history to be named league MVP, Grand Final MVP and win a championship all in the same season.
Miles Plumlee played one season in the NBL. He averaged 8.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1 assists in 12 NBL games.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
- China - Zhejiang Guangsha Lions (2019–2020)
Plumlee joined Zhejiang Guangsha Lions for the 2019–20 Chinese Basketball Association season in China after signing on December 13, 2019, and he averaged 11.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.6 blocks in seven games before being released on January 2, 2020.
Plumlee recorded two double-doubles with Zhejiang Guangsha Lions during the 2019–20 Chinese Basketball Association season, with a season-high 19 points and a team record of 3–4 in his seven appearances.
COLLEGE
Miles Plumlee arrived at Duke University in 2008 and spent four seasons with the Duke Blue Devils from 2008–09 through 2011–12, finishing his college career as a member of the program’s 2010 national championship team.
Before he ever suited up in Durham, Plumlee’s recruiting path had a twist, as he originally committed to Stanford University before changing course after coach Trent Johnson left for LSU Tigers and with brother Mason Plumlee also headed to Duke, setting up the Plumlee family run with the Blue Devils.
As a freshman in 2008–09, Plumlee worked in a limited rotation role, appearing in 24 games with two starts and averaging 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.9 minutes per game as Duke went 30–6 overall and 11–5 in ACC play.
Plumlee’s role jumped in 2009–10, when he played 40 games with 24 starts, averaged 5.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per night, and was part of Duke’s run to the 2010 NCAA championship, giving them a title-season frontcourt that also featured veteran big man Brian Zoubek in the mix.
He stayed a regular piece of Duke’s big-man rotation over his final two seasons, then produced his best all-around year as a senior in 2011–12, when he played the majority of the season off the bench, averaged 6.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, led Duke in field-goal percentage at 61 percent, and ripped down 22 rebounds in a game against the Maryland Terrapins, a mark that ranks as the most rebounds by a player coached by Mike Krzyzewski and the ninth-most rebounds in Duke history, before closing his four-year career with 650 points and 654 rebounds across 135 games.
