As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the Toronto Raptors are on the move, acquiring Brandon Ingram from the New Orleans Pelicans. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Toronto is also trading defensive guard Davion Mitchell to the Miami Heat for veteran P.J. Tucker, a second-round pick, and cash. Tucker's experience will provide leadership as he returns to a familiar setting in Toronto, where he previously played.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers are sending James Wiseman to the Raptors. Unfortunately, Wiseman will not see action this season due to a torn Achilles. Mitchell has been pivotal for the Raptors' recent defensive success, averaging over 6 points and nearly 5 assists in 44 games this season, but the acquisition of Tucker signifies a shift in strategy as Toronto seeks to bolster its playoff contention.
