LA Clippers forward P.J. Tucker repeatedly made it clear last season that he was unhappy with his role. Speaking with multiple reporters about his desire to contribute more than he was able to with the Clippers, Tucker was hopeful he would get dealt at last season’s trade deadline.

Because he had an 11.5M player option for this season, which he unsurprisingly exercised, Tucker was nearly impossible to trade last season. With his contract now expiring after this season, that may change a bit.

The Clippers announced prior to the 2024-25 season beginning that Tucker would be away from the team as both sides work towards finding him a new situation.
