PJ Tucker is as tough as they come.
The Rockets versatile forward apparently played Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals after getting three root canals, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle:
P.J. Tucker played Game 7 after three root canals. Didn’t even tell teammates. Was unreal.

Tucker, by the way, has played in 483 games since he returned to the NBA in 2012, the most in the league in that stretch. https://t.co/JN2AM93LA5

Despite playing hurt, Tucker had 14 points and 12 rebounds in Houston’s 101-92 loss to the Warriors.
