Tucker was also traded three times in five days last season, after the Clippers sent the disgruntled forward to the Jazz, before immediately being re-routed to the Heat and then getting traded to the Raptors. After the trade, the Raptors waived Tucker and the Knicks swiftly signed him to a 10-day contract.

The Athletic's James L. Edwards III and Fred Katz reported that the Knicks added Tucker to the fold because the front office "believed the locker room needed more leadership, a presence to help with communication issues that had plagued the group both on and off the court all season."
