P.J. Tucker to sign another 10-day deal with Knicks

P.J. Tucker is signing a second 10-day contract with the Knicks,  Stefan Bondy of the New York Post tweets.

Tucker made his season debut on Wednesday with a two-minute cameo in a loss to San Antonio. He signed the first 10-day with the anticipation that the Knicks would retain him for the remainder of the season. Another 10-day deal doesn’t guarantee that and he’ll have to be signed to a standard contract after this 10-day deal expires to attain that goal.

Tucker started off with the Clippers after picking up his $11.54MM player option over the summer. An agreement was reached in early October that he would remain away from the team while his agent worked with the front office to find a trade.

Nothing materialized until February 1 when the 39-year-old forward was sent to Utah as part of a four-player deal. He was traded again five days later, being shipped to Toronto as part of the five-team Jimmy Butler deal. He remained inactive with the Raptors until he was waived February 28.
