Los Angeles Clippers forward PJ Tucker has been fined $75,000 for publicly asking to be traded to another team, the NBA press service reports.
Last week, journalist Eom Youngmisuk said on a podcast that Tucker told him he wanted to be traded.
Tucker joined the Clippers from Philadelphia last November as part of the trade for guard James Harden. In total, Tucker played 15 games this season, averaging 1.3 points and 2.9 rebounds. The 38-year-old basketball player played his last match at the end of November.
The Clippers are in third place in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 17 losses.
