The Los Angeles Clippers and P.J. Tucker have decided that he will not be with the team for now as they look for a new opportunity for him.
Tucker joined the Clippers last season from the Philadelphia 76ers as part of the trade for James Harden. He played in 28 games, averaging 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds.
The 39-year-old exercised his $11.5 million player option for the upcoming season. This is the last year of a $33 million, three-year contract he signed with the 76ers in 2022.
In February, Tucker mentioned that he was actively seeking a trade after not playing in any games for nearly three months, which led to him being fined $75,000 by the NBA.
“P.J. is a pro who has achieved a lot in his career and there’s more he wants to accomplish,” the Clippers said Sunday in a statement. “We will continue working with P.J. and his representative to find the best situation for him moving forward.”
