PJ Tucker\u2019s final 10-day contract expired without a new deal \u2014 at least not yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The veteran wing, who wasn\u2019t with the Knicks for Sunday\u2019s game against the Blazers, is a strong candidate to re-sign at a later date, an NBA source told The Post. <\/p>\n
The Knicks have eight games remaining after Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since he already used up two 10-day deals, Tucker now is eligible only for a standard contract that would keep him with the club through the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the meantime, the Knicks can sign other free agents to 10-day contracts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tucker, 39, only logged two minutes of garbage time in his 20 days with the Knicks. <\/p>\n
A source said Tucker understood upon signing that playing time wasn\u2019t guaranteed. <\/p>\n
But he was pitched as a positive locker room presence, specifically for his leadership and experience on a younger roster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of times when you become a vet and be in the league, like young guys and stuff on the bench, they\u2019re not going to [encourage and motivate teammates]. They\u2019re not going to have your back like that,\u201d Tucker said when he first signed on March 10. \u201cSo it\u2019s always good to have vets and like-minded guys that just have each other\u2019s back. And that\u2019s what really makes a team strong \u2014 just knowing that they have people there and I support you whether you\u2019re playing good or bad. We\u2019re in it together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hoping for a call-up from the G-League that didn\u2019t come, T.J. Warren left the Westchester Knicks earlier this month, NBA sources told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Warren was Westchester\u2019s top scorer, averaging nearly 23 points, but hasn\u2019t logged a game for the club since March 11, one day after Leon Rose filled an empty roster spot with Tucker on his first 10-day deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Warren was on the training camp and preseason Knicks roster in October, but didn\u2019t make the final cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Miles McBride is \u201cclose\u201d to returning after missing his fifth straight game Sunday with a groin contusion\/strain, according to Tom Thibodeau.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, the coach said he didn\u2019t know whether McBride started sprinting and continued to label the guard \u201cday to day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say he\u2019s sprinting,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cBut he\u2019s close. So we\u2019ll see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Cam Payne also a DNP \u2014 his second straight because of a sprained ankle \u2014 the Knicks again started Delon Wright at point guard against the Blazers.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
