It was reported one week ago that veteran forward P.J. Tucker would be opting out of contract with the Miami Heat and become a free agent. Since then, one of the teams that Tucker has been most commonly connected with in rumors has been the Philadelphia 76ers.

Evidently, there are a host of other teams who feel that the 37-year-old will end up signing with the Sixers.

Tucker had the choice to return to the Heat for the 2022-2023 season by exercising a $7.35 million player option, but declined.

The Texas product averaged 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds 2.1 assists and 27.9 minutes per game across 71 contests last season.
