In the current NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers have emerged as a top-tier team after struggling with injuries to their star players, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, for years.
The credit for this success primarily goes to Leonard and George, but James Harden and Russell Westbrook also deserve recognition for their contributions.
However, PJ Tucker, who was expected to play a crucial veteran role for the Clippers, has not been given many opportunities by head coach Tyronn Lue since joining the team.
Even in the games Tucker has played, he has not performed at a high level.
As a result, the veteran player is feeling frustrated, and according to NBA insider Shams Charania, Tucker will take a break from the team during the NBA All-Star break to regain focus.
PJ Tucker, one of the oldest players in the league at 38 years old, seems to be struggling with his age this season.
In the 15 games he has played, Tucker has only averaged 1.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game.
His shooting percentages from the field and three-point line, 31.6% and 31.3% respectively, are among the lowest in the league.
Will this time away from the team help Tucker regain his form? Only time will tell.
