P.J. Tucker Joins Knicks on 10-Day Contract

The New York Knicks have signed veteran forward P.J. Tucker to a 10-day contract, aiming to enhance their leadership and experience as they navigate the season. Tucker, 39, brings a wealth of NBA experience, including a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks, and is focused on mentoring younger teammates while contributing defensively and in three-point shooting. Despite not having played this season, Tucker has expressed enthusiasm for his new role, emphasizing the importance of providing support and positivity to his teammates. His connection to Knicks president Leon Rose helped facilitate his desired move to New York, where he believes he can make a significant impact. As the Knicks continue their West Coast road trip, Tucker's presence on the bench is expected to bolster the team's morale and cohesion. If successful, Tucker could extend his stay beyond the initial 10 days as the team aims for a playoff push.
