Free agent P.J. Tucker has agreed to sign with the New York Knicks on a 10-day contract, sources told ESPN on Saturday night.

Tucker, a 2021 NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks, gives the Knicks an enforcer and frontcourt depth.

Tucker, 39, last played in May 2024 for the LA Clippers in their first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks. The 14-year NBA veteran stepped away from the team in October with the two sides in agreement to find him a different situation. 

The Clippers eventually moved Tucker in a deal with the Utah Jazz last month. The Jazz then traded him to the Toronto Raptors, where he was waived ahead of the March 1 deadline for released players to be playoff-eligible.

Tucker held discussions with multiple teams since being waived before agreeing to a deal with the Knicks. 

According to Second Spectrum, Tucker has made 704 corner 3-pointers over the past 12 seasons, the most in the NBA during that span. A proven playoff performer on both ends of the floor, Tucker has played 104 postseason games in his career.

The Knicks rank in the top 10 in corner 3-pointers and are last in bench scoring, per ESPN Research, making a depth signing in Tucker beneficial for both sides. Tucker is expected to be an option for Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau across all frontcourt positions while providing support for Karl-Anthony Towns, Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa at center.

Tucker has averaged 6.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals over his career and has shot 36.6% from 3-point range.
