The Toronto Raptors have sent guard Davion Mitchell to the Miami Heat in exchange for veteran forward PJ Tucker, a 2026 second-round pick (from the Los Angeles Lakers) and cash considerations. The trade occurred just before the NBA's trade deadline on Thursday.

The 39-year-old Tucker, who had two previous stints with the Raptors, is averaging 1.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 31 games this season. Thursday’s trades came after multiple reports Wednesday that the Raptors acquired small forward Brandon Ingram from New Orleans for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, a 2026 first-round pick and a second-round pick from an undisclosed year.
Olynyk grew up in Toronto before moving to Kamloops, B.C., as a teenager and was traded to his boyhood team by the Utah Jazz on Feb. 8, 2024, ahead of last season’s trade deadline. He signed a two-year extension with the Raptors on March 4 worth a reported US$26.25 million.
