Toronto Raptors Acquire Small Forward P.J. Tucker


Minto Jain works as a real estate broker with Rex Realty, where he helps home buyers find their next home while also listing and selling properties. Outside of his work life Minto Jain is an avid follower of NBA basketball, with his favorite team being the Toronto Raptors. 

While the Raptors have shown interest in small forward P.J. Tucker for about a year, it was not until February that they finally pulled the trigger, signing the former Suns player. In exchange for Tucker the Raptors traded Jared Sullinger to the Suns, along with two second-round picks. 

If the name sounds familiar to Raptors fans, it is because this is not P.J. Tucker’s first time playing for Toronto. The forward was first drafted by the team in 2006, though his brief run with Toronto only lasted for 17 games, with Tucker playing only about five minutes the entire season.

Tucker then spent five years playing basketball abroad in Israel, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, and Greece. By 2012 he was ready to return to the States, starting his run with the Phoenix Suns. Over the six total seasons P.J. Tucker has played in the NBA, he has averaged 7.8 points per game with 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
