Pascal Siakam: Injury, Trade, Contract, Stats, Espn
Injury:
Siakam has missed the Raptors’ first 10 games this season due to shoulder surgery in June.
While Siakam is arguably Toronto’s best player, the Raptors have played well in his absence, going 6-4. The 27-year-old Siakam has accomplished a great deal in five NBA seasons since Toronto selected him 27th in the 2016 draft.
It was the opposite of the moment Siakam got the news this past summer that he would require surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Trade:
Warriors saw Pascal Siakam tear them apart on the game’s biggest stage. The then-25-year-old put all his skills on display in dicing up the Warriors to the tune of 32 points on 14-for-17 shooting in the Toronto Raptors’ Game 1 win in the 2019 NBA Finals.
“It felt good, felt good, again, for the first time in a long time,” Siakam said after the game.
“I just think I have been through a lot. I remember when [Raptors vice president of health and performance Alex McKechnie] was telling me, ‘Oh, you have to get a surgery,’ and it was like my first surgery, obviously I was super scared. I remember crying.”
Contract:
The New Mexico State product signed a four-year, $136 million contract that pays him just over $30 million this year and will help him earn $37 million in 2023-24, the last year of the deal.
Pascal Siakam signed a 4 year / $136,905,216 contract with the Toronto Raptors, including $136,905,216 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $34,226,304.
