It’s taken some time, most of which has come away from the court, but P.J. Tucker is starting to find his place within the Milwaukee Bucks.

After the Bucks completed their successful pursuit of Tucker last month after months of interest, Tucker was subsequently sidelined with a left calf strain that kept him out action for 11 games since coming to Milwaukee. Long been accustomed to play through pain and injury and been recognized as an iron man, Tucker even noted that being out of action for that long was out of character for him to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (subscription required).
