On March 11, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas revealed the team and Tucker had mutually agreed to part ways with Houston working on a trade.
Sources: Houston is trading PJ Tucker, Rodions Kurucs and Bucks’ 2022 first-round pick back to Milwaukee for DJ Augustin, DJ Wilson and 2023 unprotected first-round pick. Houston also gets right to swap its 2021 second-round pick for Milwaukee's FRP pick unless it falls 1-9.

Tucker has played four seasons for the Houston Rockets, thriving as a top defender and corner three specialists.
This season, Tucker’s numbers have been down with him averaging 4.4 points per game and hitting 31% of his threes.
D.J. Augustin, a Hightower graduate, is a 13-year NBA vet and will help the Rockets at the point guard position.
D.J. Wilson was a 2017 first-round pick who never quite fit with the Bucks. The 6-foot-10 forward has played limited minutes throughout his career.
