Pascal Siakam Traded to Pacers, Scores 21 Points in Debut

Despite Loss to Trail Blazers, Pacers Confident in Siakam's Future with Team

Pascal Siakam, the 29-year-old two-time All-Star, has been traded from the Raptors to the Pacers, scoring 21 points in his first game with the new team.
The Pacers lost Siakam's debut game to the Portland Trail Blazers 118-115.
Siakam's last contract, a four-year deal worth $136.9 million, expires at the end of this year.
The Pacers are reportedly confident that they can sign him to an extension with the benefit of holding his Bird rights.
The Philadelphia 76ers had minimal interest in Siakam due to the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement.
