According to Keith Pompey from The Philadelphia Inquirer, Tucker is about to sign a three-year $30 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The team reportedly considers Tucker an important piece for a championship push.

Still a capable defender and a reliable three-point shooter, who shot a career-high 41.5% from beyond the arc last season, Tucker would turn 40 at the end of the deal.

In the 2021-22 season, the forward averaged 7.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the Heat. A year prior, Tucker became an NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Before coming to the NBA in 2012, he played for Brose Bamberg, where he became the German League (BBL) champion.
