Won't return Saturday Tucker won't return to Saturday's game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tucker experienced back spasms in the second half and headed to the locker room, and it seems the team will be extremely cautious with him. This is a huge blow for a 76ers team that already lost Tobias Harris (calf) due to injury in this game as well. Tucker ends his night with two points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 19 minutes. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Pacers.

Impact Tucker established his presence on the glass early by racking up 11 first-half rebounds, four of which came on the offensive end, to go along with seven points on 2-of-4 shooting from the field. He failed to record any points in the second half but did add another five boards to notch a game- and season-high 16 rebounds. The power forward also knocked down two threes for a third straight game and is shooting 66.6 percent from beyond the arc over that span.

Exits with tight calf Tucker won't return to Monday's game against the Rockets due to left calf tightness, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Tucker only managed to make it through seven minutes of Monday's game, and he'll end his evening with just one turnover and no other statistics. For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. Georges Niang and/or Jalen McDaniels could see bumps in playing time if Tucker can't play Wednesday.

No offensive contribution in loss Tucker logged zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.

Impact The 37-year-old remains a throwback, as there aren't many players in the modern NBA who can hang onto a starting role without supplying any offense. Tucker has incredibly scored zero points in three of his last five games and hasn't reached double digits since Halloween, a stretch of 39 straight games. His lack of an impact in the box score hasn't exactly hurt the Sixers, however -- they have the fourth-best record in the league and sit three games back of the Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference -- so the team may not feel much urgency at the trade deadline to find an upgrade.

Inconsequential in starting role Tucker notched three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 24 minutes during Sunday's 113-112 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Although Tucker took the floor with the starters, he couldn't get anything going Sunday. It's a familiar script for Tucker, who has only scored in double digits once this season. Although he's an apt defender and can make a difference, he failed to grab a rebound for the first time this season and was generally ineffective.

Impact Tucker was unavailable Sunday against Detroit due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll likely be back in action for Tuesday's rematch. Assuming he's available, his workload will likely depend on whether Joel Embiid (foot) is able to suit up.
