P.J. Tucker all but confirmed a recent report that he's unhappy with his role, or lack thereof, with the LA Clippers. Tucker said it's hard to be okay with his role in LA when he doesn't have one.

“I don't have a role on this team right now. I'm not playing. I'm out of the lineup. It was a decision that was made, and I'm living with it right now," Tucker said. "But obviously, I feel like I still got a lot to contribute to a team to be able to win, whether that's here or somewhere else. And here, it's just not there right now. So I want to do what I can do.”

Tucker reaffirmed he believes he can help a contender on the floor. He said a balance of contributing and winning is what he's looking for. While he's out of the rotation, Tucker said he'll continue to mentor rookie Kobe Brown. However, despite talking to Clippers head coach Ty Lue, Tucker said he doesn't expect things to change as far as lack of his playing time.

“We've had little talks, and, you know, we understand the situation. It is what it is. There aren’t minutes to be had for me right now and it kind of just is what it is," Tucker said.
