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.

Tucker said Friday that he will exercise his $11.54 million player option to remain with the Clippers for the 2024-25 season, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Acquired from Philadelphia in October as part of the deal that sent James Harden to Los Angeles, Tucker largely struggled to find a role with the Clippers. He made 28 appearances (seven starts) for Los Angeles, averaging 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. He had re-emerged as a rotation player at the tail end of the Clippers' first-round playoff series loss to the Mavericks, though LA was without Kawhi Leonard (knee) for both of those contests. Now heading into his age-39 campaign in 2024-25, Tucker appears unlikely to see steady playing time in what will be his first full season with the Clippers.

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.

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.

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.
