Clippers' P.J. Tucker: Modest production continues
Rotowire
Tucker produced one rebound over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 win over San Antonio.
Tucker has appeared in nine straight games for the Clippers, averaging 15.2 minutes per game. However, he hasn't had any noteworthy performances and is clearly more valuable in real life than in fantasy at this point in his career.

Clippers' P.J. Tucker: Available to make team debut
Rotowire
Tucker (recently traded) is available to make his Clippers debut Wednesday against the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
While James Harden (conditioning) remains out, Tucker will suit up for the first time as a Clipper on Wednesday after being part of a blockbuster trade late Monday night. Given Los Angeles gave up multiple frontcourt depth options to acquire Harden, Tucker figures to have a prominent role eventually. However, the defensive-minded forward hasn't been a fantasy asset in years despite playing 25-plus minutes per game, and it may take a while for his role with the Clippers to solidify.

Clippers' P.J. Tucker: Dealt to Clippers
Rotowire
The Clippers acquired Tucker, James Harden and Filip Petrusev from the 76ers on Tuesday in a three-team deal that sent Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin to the Clippers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The 76ers also acquired first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2028, 2024 and 2029 second-round draft picks and the right to a first-round pick swap with the Clippers in 2029, while the Thunder acquired the right to swap first-round picks with the Clippers in 2027.
Tucker has gotten off to a slow start during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 2.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game over his first three appearances of the season. He'll be on the move as part of an early-season blockbuster trade, but his role with the Clippers isn't yet clear. The 38-year-old has served exclusively as a starter in Philadelphia but could have to settle for a bench role with his new team once Terance Mann (ankle) is able to return to action. The Clippers square off against the Magic at home Tuesday, but the team's three new acquisitions seem unlikely to be available for the matchup.
