Way back on media day, 37-year-old P.J. Tucker was asked about resting during the regular season to preserve his body for the playoffs.
His response was very P.J. Tucker.
“I don’t know what that is,” he said back in September. “I just play. It’s not a process or thought of, ‘I may not need to play.’ You know what I’m saying? Players play.”
Tucker said this while addressing the Philly media for the first time and after we were informed earlier that morning that the veteran had a knee procedure done six weeks ago. With that information, it was not surprising to see Tucker get off to a slow start.
