P.J. Tucker Latest News
Not with team
The Clippers announced Sunday that Tucker will not be with the team moving forward, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. The Clippers are expected to officially part ways with Tucker soon, potentially by finding a club to buy out his contract. The 39-year-old made 28 regular-season appearances (seven starts) for the Clippers last season, during which he averaged 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds across 15.0 minutes. While Tucker may not be able to contribute much on the floor at this point in his career, his veteran presence and playoff leadership could potentially make him a viable target for a contending team.
Staying with Clippers for 2024-25
Tucker announced Friday that he is exercising his $11.54 million player option for the 2024-25 season, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Tucker was traded from the 76ers to the Clippers during the 2023-24 campaign. With Los Angeles, Tucker made 28 appearances, including seven starts, and averaged 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. While the veteran forward is unlikely to receive a large role for the Clippers next season, he is set to stick around for at least one more year.
Moves into starting five
Tucker will move into the starting lineup for Friday's Game 6 versus Dallas, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports. The Clippers are opting for more of a defensive presence as they are facing an elimination game. Amir Coffey will head to the bench with this move.
Back to bench
Tucker won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Mavericks on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Tucker started six straight games to end the regular season, averaging only 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds during that stretch. Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains sidelined, but Amir Coffey will take Leonard's place and be joined by Paul George, James Harden, Terance Mann and Ivica Zubac.
Starting against Phoenix
Tucker will start Wednesday's game against the Suns, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Tucker will enter the first unit with the Clippers down three of their usual starters. In seven starts this season, Tucker is averaging 2.3 points and 3.4 rebounds.
Retreats to bench
Tucker isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Suns, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Tucker will be replaced by Normal Powell in the starting lineup Tuesday. Tucker is averaging 1.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.
Puts up donut Sunday
Tucker contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Sunday's 120-118 win over the Cavaliers. Tucker has been in the Clippers' starting lineup for the last three games due to Kawhi Leonard (knee) being sidelined. Tucker has failed to score in two of those three starts and has played sub-20 minutes in all three outings. He is a non-factor on offense outside of the occasional three-point attempt, and his main contributions come on the defensive end of the floor.
Enters starting lineup
Tucker will start Thursday's game against Denver, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports. Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out for a second straight game, but Tucker will replace Norman Powell with the Clippers looking to deploy more defense and rebounding.
Considered questionable
Tucker (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Tucker is dealing with calf soreness and was sidelined for Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. If he misses a second straight contest, Brandon Boston and Mason Plumlee could see a few extra minutes.
