Tucker Excited To Be Back In Toronto

After a whirlwind 36 hours, P.J. Tucker was still smiling, but very much ready to sleep. The newest Raptors player, instrumental in a 107-97 victory against the Boston Celtics, arrived in Toronto on zero sleep following the news that he had been traded. He played 29 minutes, including the entire fourth quarter in a comeback win. The victory helped to push back to fatigue a while longer.

A week after acquiring Serge Ibaka from the Orlando Magic in exchange for Terrence Ross and a future first-round pick, the Raptors made another move to close out the trade deadline, bringing Tucker back to Toronto 10 years after the team had drafted him.
