The Knicks will decline Tucker's $3.4 million team option for 2025-26 on Sunday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran signed two 10-day contracts with New York in March before landing a one-year deal with the club in April. However, he totaled only four appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, including a four-minute cameo in the playoffs.

Tucker finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds across 19.3 minutes per game in three regular-season outings (one start).
EDGE Analysis
Tucker signed two 10-day contracts with New York in March before landing a one-year deal with the club in April. The veteran forward made only one postseason appearance, and the Knicks hold a team option on his contract for next season. Should the 40-year-old choose to continue playing, he'll likely serve as sparsely deployed veteran depth considering his age.

Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 against the Pistons on Saturday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks will revert to their regular starting lineup in the series opener against Detroit, meaning Tucker returns to his bench role. The veteran forward isn't expected to have a sizable role in the postseason.

Tucker will start Sunday's game against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee), OG Anunoby (thumb) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) all sidelined, the Knicks will start Tucker, Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, Precious Achiuwa and Mikal Bridges, though Bridges figures to play only a few minutes to keep his consecutive games played streak going. This will be Tucker's first start of the season, and he posted three points and six rebounds in 27 minutes during Thursday's loss in Detroit.

Tucker provided three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and six rebounds in 27 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (thumb) both sat this game out, but could be back for the second leg of this back-to-back set. In his only other performance of the season, Tucker saw a total of two minutes back on March 19.

The Knicks signed Tucker to a two-year deal Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker will remain with the Knicks through the playoffs, and he could stay in New York next season if the club exercises its team option. The veteran forward played only two minutes during his two 10-day contracts with the Knicks in March, and he's unlikely to regularly crack the rotation.

Tucker and the Knicks agreed to a second 10-day contract Thursday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
During his first 10-day stint with the Knicks, Tucker made just one two-minute appearance. The 39-year-old forward doesn't look as though he'll be a regular part of the New York rotation.

Tucker plans to join the Knicks on a short-term contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors recently waived Tucker after he was shipped to Toronto ahead of the NBA trade deadline in February. Although his status was in doubt for the rest of the season, he'll have an ideal opportunity to prove he still has some basketball left in him in New York, with the Knicks needing some depth on the roster after Jalen Brunson's ankle injury.

The Raptors waived Tucker on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being shipped to Toronto ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 6, Tucker seemingly had no intention to join a team with no incentive to win for the rest of the season, which sparked speculation of a buyout. Now that the Raptors have waived the 39-year-old veteran, it'll be interesting to see if he lands with another team or calls it a career.

Tucker (not with team) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Suns, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker isn't expected to suit up for the Raptors and is reportedly waiting for his contract to get bought out. If Tucker and Toronto can't come to an agreement, the veteran forward will likely remain sidelined indefinitely.
