Clippers' P.J. Tucker: Not with team
The Los Angeles Clippers announced Sunday that P.J. 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.

Clippers' P.J. Tucker: Staying with LA in 2024-25
P.J. Tucker said Friday that he will exercise his $11.54 million player option to remain with the Los Angeles 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.
