Knicks Sign Veteran P.J. Tucker to 10-Day Contract

The 39-year-old NBA champion brings leadership, defense, and shooting depth to New York's playoff-bound roster.

P.J. Tucker, a 14-year NBA veteran and 2021 champion with the Milwaukee Bucks, has signed a 10-day contract with the New York Knicks.
Tucker's addition provides the Knicks with veteran leadership, defensive toughness, and floor-spacing ability, particularly from the corners.
The Knicks, who rank last in bench scoring, aim to bolster their frontcourt depth as they prepare for the playoffs.
Tucker has played 31 games this season across stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 1.7 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 37.1% from three-point range.
This move comes as the Knicks await updates on star guard Jalen Brunson, who is sidelined with a right ankle sprain but has avoided any fractures based on initial X-rays.
