Much like his former teammate James Harden<\/a><\/strong>, it appears that P.J. Tucker<\/a><\/strong> will not finish the season with the Houston Rockets<\/a>. On Thursday night, ESPN’s<\/em> Adrian Wojnarowski reported PJ Tucker “remains frustrated that he hasn’t been moved to a contender”. He sat out the Rockets’ game against the Sacramento Kings<\/a>, and it’s “unclear when Tucker will return to the lineup”.<\/p>\n

Rockets coach Stephen Silas directly addressed the rumors after the team’s loss to the Kings, stating that “We\u2019re going to try to figure out something that works for him and works for us as far as him not being on the team anymore.” Given that the Rockets have discussed Tucker trades in recent weeks with other teams, ESPN<\/em> reported that talks are expected to result in a deal for Tucker prior to the March 25th trade deadline.<\/p>\n

With the NBA Trade Deadline inside of two weeks now — and Houston losers of 14 straight games — PJ Tucker has likely played his final game with the Rockets. https:\/\/t.co\/k9vp3z4WX6<\/a><\/p>\n
