Anthony Leon "P.J." Tucker, Jr. (born May 5, 1985, in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American professional basketball player who formerly played in the European Leagues. He is currently playing for the Phoenix Suns in the NBA.
College
A former college basketball player for the University of Texas, Tucker attended Enloe High School in Raleigh. In his three seasons at Texas, he scored 1,169 points, including a career-high 594 in the 2005-06 season. He also collected 714 rebounds and dished out 170 assists, including 107 in 2005-06. He posted 116 steals throughout his career. In that season, he was a Second Team All-American and the Big 12 Player of the Year.
Professional career
He was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 35th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft and signed a two-year deal with them on July 26, 2006.
On January 5, 2007, the Raptors announced that Tucker had been sent to the Colorado 14ers of the NBA Development League. Colorado, led by head coach Joe Wolf, has been designated as Toronto's D-League affiliate for the 2006-07 season. On February 6, 2007, the Raptors recalled Tucker to the NBA. On March 6, 2007, Tucker was sent back to the 14ers.
On March 24, 2007, Tucker was waived by the Toronto Raptors in order to free up a roster spot for Luke Jackson.[1] Tucker was on the 2007 summer league roster for the Cleveland Cavaliers.[2]
At the 2007-08 season with Hapoel Holon from Ligat Winner, Tucker won the MVP trophy and led his team to the league title. Holon broke Maccabi Tel Aviv's fourteen year streak as Israeli champions.
For the 2008-2009 season he signed with the BC Donetsk team[3] that was just promoted to the Ukrainian Basketball Super League.[4][5] He led the team to a current third place in the league at its first appearance there. A season ending knee injury didn't prevent Tucker from finishing the season with the highest average of points per game in the league.[6] On October 7, 2009 Tucker renewed his contract with Donetsk for the 2009-10 season.[7] After the team bankrupted he returned to Israel in March 2010 and signed for his current team until the end of the season.[8] In August 2010 he signed with Aris BC for the 2010-11 season,[9] but he was released in March 2011.[10] In April 2011 he signed with Sutor Basket Montegranaro in Italy.[11] In July 2011 he signed a one-year deal with the German Euroleague participant Brose Baskets Bamberg.[12] In June 2012 he signed for one season with an option for a second year with BC Spartak Saint Petersburg.[13]
Tucker is now signing a two-year contract with partial guarantees for the Phoenix Suns.[14]
