He’s been known to wear some player exclusive pairs from opponents like Kevin Durant and LeBron James, along with having a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nike-kobe-8-protro-what-the-release-update">Nike Kobe collection</a> that few can rival. Most recently, he rocked his own PE of the Nike Book 1 against Devin Booker when the Phoenix Suns visited Madison Square Garden.</p><p><i><b>Check our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sneakers">Sneakers news</a> for more upcoming releases and breaking content!</b></i></p><p>Since its release, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/devin-booker-celebrates-70-point-game-with-nike-book-1-pe">Nike Book 1</a> has grown into a popular hooping shoe with their availability to the public. However, Devin Booker has constantly been teasing new PE’s (player exclusives) seemingly every time he steps out on the floor. His exclusive colorways often mimic <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/devin-booker-gifts-penny-hardaway-his-air-penny-inspired-nike-book-1">sneakers he draws inspiration from</a>, as well as his college and high school <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nike-book-1-blue-blood-coming-april-2025">alma maters</a>.</p><p>PJ Tucker has always been known to get his hands on PE sneakers from some of his respected peers, but this time he broke out his own “What The PJ” colorway on the Nike Book 1. His friend and former Suns’ teammate Devin Booker showed the love back as he laced up the same pair for their meeting against one another.</p><h2>Devin Booker and PJ Tucker rock the “What The PJ” Nike Book 1</h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">PJ Tucker &amp; Devin Booker are both wearing the player-exclusive Nike Book 1 “What The PJ” tonight 🔥 <a href="https://t.co/Hm54iyv7Gp">pic.twitter.com/Hm54iyv7Gp</a></p><p>— The Strickland (@TheStrickland) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheStrickland/status/1909037517401178143?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Devin Booker and PJ Tucker both debuted PJ’s new “What the PJ” Nike Book 1 PE against each other at Madison Square Garden! 😲🔥 <a href="https://t.co/eit2VPKdMJ">https://t.co/eit2VPKdMJ</a> <a href="https://t.co/TZjqSVHbtn">pic.twitter.com/TZjqSVHbtn</a></p><p>— Nice Kicks (@nicekicks) <a href="https://twitter.com/nicekicks/status/1909034473112355192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>PJ Tucker’s Nike Book 1 takes similar cues from his previous <a href="https://stockx.com/nike-kobe-5-protro-pj-tucker">Nike Kobe 5 PE</a>. Featured on a white base, the shoe sports colorful panels throughout each taking a turn with a different color. No two panels are the same as the shoes are mismatched right and left, based on a white midsole and rubber outsoles. The shoes are done in glossy patent leather, complete with Tucker’s #17 on the back heel while “BOOK” graces the tongue tag in multi-color font.</p><p>Fans shouldn’t hold their breath for these to see a public release, but crazier things have happened in PJ Tucker’s long line of unpredictable sneaker moves. It’s great to see Devin Booker supporting the new colorway as he continues to promote his debut model. With the New York Knicks heading to the Playoffs and the Phoenix Suns fighting for the play-in, we should be in store for more exclusive sneakers debuted by either player.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Or would they allow him to leave for greener pastures, focusing on landing another guard to bolster their depth at the position?</p><p>Well, on Monday, fans got their answer, with Shams Charania of ESPN reporting that the Knicks were locking up the <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1906830549282623833" rel="noopener">veteran forward on a two-year contract</a>.</p><p>“Free agent PJ Tucker plans to sign with the New York Knicks on a 10-day contract, sources tell ESPN. The 14-year NBA veteran held discussions with multiple teams over the last week. Tucker, a 2021 NBA champion with the Bucks, gives the Knicks an enforcer and frontcourt depth,” Charania wrote.</p><p>“After two 10-day contracts, the New York Knicks are planning to sign veteran forward PJ Tucker to a two-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Tucker will return to the Knicks through the season and playoffs, with a team option for 2025-26.”</p><p>So far this season, Tucker really hasn’t been afforded a chance to show what he can do with the Knicks, as he’s played <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/tuckepj01.html" rel="noopener">exactly two minutes for the team</a> with no stats to his name. Because Thibodeau is notorious for his notoriously short benches and commitment to playing his starters into the ground, Tucker has been more of a depth piece, with the potential to slot in as a contributor at either of the forward spots and even at center if someone needs a break.</p><p>Will that happen? Will Thibs actually give a player like Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, or OG Anunoby a well-deserved break? Or will Tucker be more of a break-in-case-of-emergency player who only really sees action if the Knicks suffer a frontcourt injury? While only time will tell, having Tucker as a deep-bench reserve really has no downside this season, as in a pinch, the journeyman veteran can provide some much-needed defense as a do-it-all frontcourt reserve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He also earned a gold medal with Team USA at the 2000 Summer Olympics.</p><p>Despite making headlines for his sneaker choice, Tucker did not see any action in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celebrity/tracy-morgan-reveals-food-poisoning-as-culprit-behind-scary-msg-vomiting-incident">Knicks’ 116-95 win over the Heat</a>. The 39-year-old forward has yet to appear in an NBA game this season after being traded from the Los Angeles Clippers and later bought out by the Toronto Raptors. Tucker played 31 games last season, averaging 1.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game while shooting 37.1% from three.</p><p>Over his 13-year career, Tucker has established himself as a defensive specialist and veteran presence. In 883 career games, he holds averages of 6.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.1 steals over 28.2 minutes per contest. His ability to guard multiple positions and knock down corner threes has made him a valuable role player for contending teams, including a championship run with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021 and deep playoff pushes with the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers, Raptors, and Heat.</p><p>The Knicks (39-28) will begin a two-game road trip on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs (18-49) before heading to Charlotte for a matchup with the Hornets (17-50) on Thursday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
