And it appears that four days before his court appearance the US-born player left the country to play in Australia.
An arrest warrant for Tucker, 34, was issued yesterday after he didn't turn up in the Hamilton District Court on a charge following an incident in Hamilton last month. Community Magistrate Kathryn Wilson issued the warrant for Tucker's arrest after the matter was initially stood down by a court registrar.
Waikato Basketball chief executive John Davey said Tucker hadn't informed him of the charge before leaving to pursue a second-tier basketball contract in Adelaide on Saturday.
