Overview

  • PJ Tucker's second 10-day contract with the New York Knicks expired on March 30, leaving him a free agent.
  • The Knicks have yet to decide whether to sign Tucker to a standard contract, though he is considered a strong candidate for a playoff roster spot.
  • During his 20-day tenure, Tucker played only two minutes but was valued primarily for his leadership and mentorship of younger players.
  • The Knicks have an open roster spot and are also evaluating other free-agent options for potential 10-day contracts.
  • With eight regular-season games remaining, the Knicks must balance Tucker's off-court contributions with their immediate team needs and injury challenges.
