PJ Tucker talks his lack of scoring, Joel Embiid, Sixers fans, legacy

PJ: I get it every day! Walking the streets, people be like ‘Hey Tuck! You think you can score more and this, that, and the third’, but for me, man, if you look, I take maybe one or two shots per game. I don’t even shoot the ball a lot. So I don’t know how they want me to score a bunch of points if I don’t get the chance to shoot the ball, but to me, it’s definitely not about that.

The way we play, our style, some nights, you might get a few, some nights, you might not, but we based our group around Joel, around our defense. Everybody else is filling their spots and doing their job so it’s all about winning, man. Bringing that effort and energy every night and doing everything to get a win. I went through a lot of stuff this summer with my knee surgery so I actually didn’t get to work out like one time the entire summer. Training camp was the first time touching a basketball in over four months. So for me, it was a big difference in kind of a start-up to the season, but it’s been really good just been able to build off of that and get to where we’re at now and keep building so hopefully we get this strong finish going into the All-Star break.
