P.J. Tucker: Breaking News

Retiring from basketball

Tucker announced his retirement from basketball Thursday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. Tucker hadn't played in an NBA game since the 2024-25 campaign, when he logged three appearances for the Knicks. The Texas product was known throughout his career as a hard-nosed defender, and his presence on the defensive end played a key role in helping Milwaukee bring home an NBA Championship during the 2020-21 season. Tucker averaged 6.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals over 886 career regular-season games.

Headed to free agency

The Knicks will decline Tucker's $3.4 million team option for 2025-26 on Sunday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. The veteran signed two 10-day contracts with New York in March before landing a one-year deal with the club in April. However, he totaled only four appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, including a four-minute cameo in the playoffs.

Limited playing time in 2024-25

Tucker finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds across 19.3 minutes per game in three regular-season outings (one start). Tucker signed two 10-day contracts with New York in March before landing a one-year deal with the club in April. The veteran forward made only one postseason appearance, and the Knicks hold a team option on his contract for next season. Should the 40-year-old choose to continue playing, he'll likely serve as sparsely deployed veteran depth considering his age.
