P.J. Tucker, the 39-year-old NBA player for the LA Clippers, has been married to his wife, Tracy Tucker, since 2010.

After being drafted as the 35th pick by the Toronto Raptors in the 2006 NBA Draft, P.J. Tucker’s rookie year was a struggle.

His time was divided between the Raptors and the NBA Development League, with limited playing time amounting to just 82 minutes.

After being waived by the Raptors in 2007, Tucker opted to play overseas, earning a lucrative living in international leagues.

However, his return to the NBA in 2012, signing with the Phoenix Suns, was heavily influenced by Tracy.

In a 2019 , P.J. credited his wife for encouraging him to make a comeback.

“My wife just had my son. She said just give it one more shot, my minimum (pay) was so low. I was going to get paid a couple million (in Russia). I gambled on myself, but I didn’t want to. Trust me… If it wasn’t for my wife and my agent, I wouldn’t have come back. It’s crazy.”

A Texas Longhorns alum, he also excelled overseas, earning MVP honors and winning championships in Germany.
