Toronto Raptors Waive Veteran PJ Tucker Ahead of Buyout Deadline

News summary

The Toronto Raptors have waived veteran forward P.J. Tucker, allowing him to pursue opportunities with other teams ahead of the postseason. Acquired from the Miami Heat in a multi-team trade, Tucker did not play a single game during his brief stint with Toronto, remaining inactive for 59 contests. This decision opens a roster spot for the Raptors as they consider potential moves, including extending contracts for other players. At nearly 40 years old, Tucker's experience and toughness may appeal to contenders looking for depth, despite his declining offensive contributions. The Raptors' action follows a series of trades that left Tucker seeking a new team after a diminished role with the Los Angeles Clippers last season. While it's uncertain how much interest Tucker will attract on the open market, he is now eligible to join a playoff-bound team if a match is found.
