The News
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.
Our View
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.
