Tucker (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Tucker is back after a two-game absence, and he'll join De'Anthony Melton, Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid in the first unit with Danuel House shifting back to the bench. As for fantasy hoops, Tucker isn't much more than a low-end steals streamer in deep leagues.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Tucker (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Tucker sat out Saturday's game due to the ankle issue, which resulted in Danuel House getting the start and both Georges Niang and Jalen McDaniels receiving a bump in minutes. It'll be more of the same if Tucker can't give it a go Monday evening, with Niang being the preferable target in fantasy hoops.

76ers' P.J. Tucker: Scoops up three steals Wednesday
Rotowire
Tucker compiled five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 118-109 win over the Cavaliers.
Tucker was a team-best plus-22 during his time on the floor Wednesday, but aside from his season-high-tying steals total, the veteran forward delivered yet another barren fantasy line. Despite his reputation as a rugged defender, Tucker can't be counted on to regularly make an impact in terms of defensive stats, as his season-long averages of 0.5 steals and 0.2 blocks per game attest. The lack of useful numbers on both sides of the ball is enough to keep Tucker off the fantasy radar even in most deeper leagues, even though he continues to see 20-plus minutes in most games.

Tucker will officially miss his third game of the season as he tends to a back injury sustained during Saturday's win against the Bucks.

76ers' P.J. Tucker: Sits out morning shootaround
Rotowire
Tucker (back) was held out of the 76ers' morning shootaround and remains questionable for Monday's game in Indiana, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Tobias Harris (calf) also missed the shootaround, but both Harris and Tucker were at least in attendance and could still be cleared ahead of Monday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. If Harris and/or Tucker sit out Monday, supporting-cast players such as De'Anthony Melton, Jalen McDaniels and Georges Niang could be in store for expanded roles.

Rotowire
Tucker won't return to Saturday's game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Tucker experienced back spasms in the second half and headed to the locker room, and it seems the team will be extremely cautious with him. This is a huge blow for a 76ers team that already lost Tobias Harris (calf) due to injury in this game as well. Tucker ends his night with two points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 19 minutes. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Pacers.

Rotowire
Tucker won't return to Monday's game against the Rockets due to left calf tightness, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Tucker only managed to make it through seven minutes of Monday's game, and he'll end his evening with just one turnover and no other statistics.

76ers' P.J. Tucker: No offensive contribution in loss
Rotowire
Tucker logged zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.
The 37-year-old remains a throwback, as there aren't many players in the modern NBA who can hang onto a starting role without supplying any offense. Tucker has incredibly scored zero points in three of his last five games and hasn't reached double digits since Halloween, a stretch of 39 straight games. His lack of an impact in the box score hasn't exactly hurt the Sixers, however -- they have the fourth-best record in the league and sit three games back of the Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference -- so the team may not feel much urgency at the trade deadline to find an upgrade.

76ers' P.J. Tucker: Inconsequential in starting role
Rotowire
Tucker notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 24 minutes during Sunday's 113-112 victory over the Lakers.
Although Tucker took the floor with the starters, he couldn't get anything going Sunday. It's a familiar script for Tucker, who has only scored in double digits once this season. Although he's an apt defender and can make a difference, he failed to grab a rebound for the first time this season and was generally ineffective.
