P.J. Tucker began the 2024-25 NBA season in exile from the Los Angeles Clippers. He and the team mutually decided to keep him away “for the time being,” according to longtime NBA insider Marc Stein, as the Clippers look “to find the best situation for him moving forward.”
Could that be a reunion with the Sixers? On Thursday, Kelly Iko and Law Murray of The Athletic reported that a number of contenders—”including the 76ers, Heat, Bucks and Suns”—had “held trade conversations” with Tucker’s agent.
While the Sixers very well might be interested in bringing Tucker back, it would likely be via buyout, not trade.
