The Los Angeles Clippers’ PJ Tucker might get traded to either the Milwaukee Bucks or the Miami Heat in the coming days. The two teams were recently involved in the battle to sign Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers, which the Milwaukee Bucks eventually won. We might see the two of them going head to head again for 38-year-old PJ Tucker. It would be interesting to see who approaches him first and offers a better package to land him on their roster.

He played his last game on November 27 against the Denver Nuggets. The player is frustrated with his current situation and is looking for a way out. He has averaged 6.7 points, 1.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 5.5 rebounds per game throughout his career. Where will the LA Clippers send him? Here is all the information you need about PJ Tucker of the Los Angeles Clippers and his future with Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks.
