Miami Heat Trade P.J. Tucker to Toronto Raptors in Exchange for Davion Mitchell
The Miami Heat have finalized a trade sending veteran forward P.J. Tucker to the Toronto Raptors. In this trade, the Heat will receive guard Davion Mitchell along with a 2026 second-round pick and cash considerations. This move comes as both teams look to realign their rosters ahead of the playoff push.
P.J. Tucker, a seasoned player known for his defensive prowess and experience, was part of the Miami Heat's roster following a recent trade acquisition from the Utah Jazz involving star Jimmy Butler. As of now, Tucker has not played this season, but his career averages include 6.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over 883 career games.
In exchange, the Toronto Raptors add Davion Mitchell, who is averaging 6.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 1.9 rebounds in 44 games (22 starts) this season. Mitchell, who has shown promise as a young point guard, is set to become a restricted free agent after the season. This trade allows the Raptors to bolster their backcourt depth while the Heat aim to inject new talent following the Butler deal.
