Raptors Trade Davion Mitchell to Heat for P.J. Tucker and Draft Pick

The deal, finalized just before the NBA trade deadline, sees Toronto acquire the veteran forward in a move tied to a larger multi-team trade involving Jimmy Butler.

The Toronto Raptors traded guard Davion Mitchell to the Miami Heat in exchange for P.J. Tucker, a second-round draft pick, and cash considerations.
This marks P.J. Tucker's third trade in five days, as he was previously moved from the Clippers to the Jazz and then to the Heat as part of the Jimmy Butler trade to the Warriors.
Davion Mitchell, a 26-year-old defensive specialist, averaged 6.3 points and 4.6 assists in 44 games with Toronto this season and will provide backcourt depth for the Heat.
The Raptors, who are in a rebuilding phase, are expected to buy out Tucker's contract rather than integrate him into their roster.
The Heat's move to acquire Mitchell helps them reduce their salary obligations, providing flexibility under the NBA's tax apron following the Butler trade.
