Pascal Siakam Articles - Page 10

Since the Raptors are no longer in the play-in picture, this season is getting out of control. They could shut it all down and strive for a high lottery pick if they can’t improve matters in the next weeks. There’s a chance they’ll be big sellers or actually be idle at the trade deadline. Recall […]

This has been a disastrous season for the Toronto Raptors. Pegged as a would-be playoff contender this season, the team has fallen apart from the get-go. Pascal Siakam is having one hell of a season, and that hasn’t mattered at all. They sit 1.5 games behind a Play-In spot, and that frankly seems meaningless now. […]

The Toronto Raptors may be one of the most promising teams in the NBA, with an intriguing cast of characters that pride themselves on their length and defensive ability. Nonetheless, the 11th-seed Raptors do have kinks to work out in their rotation. Namely, a number of promising players who desire a larger offensive role and […]

The Toronto Raptors’ wacky roster construction appears to be catching up to them. With a lack of a true center and an obvious lack of backcourt depth, the Raptors have struggled this season despite having All-Star caliber talents in Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby. Through 41 games, the Raptors have won just 18 […]

Pascal Siakam is always a threat to come up with a big performance for the Toronto Raptors, and he had one Tuesday night when he led his team to a 132-120 home win over the visiting Charlotte Hornets. In fact, Siakam played so well that he finally surpassed Kyle Lowry for the most number of […]

It’s no secret that rookies go through all sorts of initiations from veteran teammates. The Toronto Raptors are no exception to this right of passage. Just ask rookie Christian Koloko, who was recently on the receiving end of some absolute savagery from star teammate Pascal Siakam. Koloko was talking to the press after a recent […]

The Toronto Raptors aren’t a very good team right now. They aren’t exactly out of the playoff race out in the East, but there’s no denying that this team has failed to live up to the expectations most folks had on them entering the season — at least not yet. It seems that there is […]

The Toronto Raptors are not in a very good spot right now. They presently sit outside the top ten teams in the Eastern Conference. They are, in fact, dead last in the Atlantic Division with a disappointing 16-22 win-loss slate. There’s just really no reason why this squad should be performing as badly as they […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks appear to have taken care of business against the Toronto Raptors on the road, having led by 21, 90-69, with just a little over three minutes left in the game. But the Raptors, against all odds, stormed all the way back to force overtime following an incredible game-tying triple […]

Nearly halfway through the 2022-23 campaign, the Toronto Raptors find themselves in basketball purgatory. The team currently owns a 16-21 record, good enough for the 12th-best in the Eastern Conference. In layman’s terms, Toronto isn’t good enough to compete for a playoff spot but isn’t bad enough to have a legit shot at landing Victor […]

The Toronto Raptors haven’t been a very good team this season. They are currently 16-21 and are sitting at the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference. At the moment, Pascal Siakam and Co. are 4.5 games outside a guaranteed playoff spot, and things aren’t looking very good for this side right now. Siakam himself has […]

For weeks, the Toronto Raptors were in a state of confusion, unable to remedy what ailed them as they scuffled to a six-game losing streak. Fred VanVleet tried his best with a few 39-point explosions, but nothing seemed to be enough. But finally, it was Pascal Siakam who took matters into his own hands. On […]

Toronto Raptors star Pascal Siakam joined an elite club of NBA stars after exploding for 52 points in their win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. New York has always been considered the mecca of basketball, thanks to its passionate fanbase. With that said, it’s always hard for opposing teams to score […]

The Toronto Raptors have been mired in a bit of a slump as of late. They entered their Wednesday night clash against the New York Knicks as owners of the league’s current longest losing streak. In contrast, the Knicks had won eight in a row to that point. But Pascal Siakam doesn’t care about what’s […]

What is going on with this Toronto Raptors team? Heading into the 2022 season, many expected the Raptors to be somewhat active in the trade market to try and make a playoff push. The core of Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and Scottie Barnes looked like a solid blueprint. They were supposed to build off of […]

The Toronto Raptors are one of the deepest teams in the NBA. Yet despite that, they also appear to be a team with a clear ceiling short of an Eastern Conference Finals berth. Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam are bona fide All-Stars and OG Anunoby is having his best season yet, but unless they soar […]

The Toronto Raptors welcomed Pascal Siakam back on the court in an exciting matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers after the 6’9 forward missed 10 games due to an oblique injury. Before his injury, Siakam was putting up career-best numbers in points, rebounds, assists, cementing himself as one of the best do-it-all forwards in the entire […]

Pascal Siakam has missed the last 10 games for the Toronto Raptors due to a lingering groin injury. Well, that’s going to be the extent of his hiatus after it was confirmed that the All-Star forward will be available to play on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. NBA insider Eric Koreen of The Athletic reported […]

Pascal Siakam’s return seems imminent. The Toronto Raptors star posted a video on Twitter Sunday morning of his recent rehabilitation from a strain in his right adductor muscle, hinting that he’ll be back in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. His plan is always better than mine ❤️🙏🏾#doingitforyou🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/02mIw8g3lo — pascal siakam […]

The injuries just keep rolling for the Toronto Raptors. Reigning Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes is the latest addition to the team’s growing list of injury casualties with the 21-year-old currently dealing with a left knee sprain. Barnes has already been ruled out for Saturday’s clash against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, where […]

Pascal Siakam is nearing his return to the Toronto Raptors from his injury. The star forward was knocked out a few weeks ago after suffering a groin injury. Now, Nick Nurse has revealed that Siakam will be looking to return next week for the team, per Aaron Rose. The Raptors got off to a solid […]

The Toronto Raptors have been without Pascal Siakam for eight games now as the All-Star power forward continues to nurse a right adductor strain. When he initially sustained the injury in early November, the team announced that he would be re-evaluated in two weeks’ time. It’s now been almost three weeks and there hasn’t been […]

The Toronto Raptors just lost in overtime to the Atlanta Hawks. It was their third defeat in their last five games. Right now, the Raptors sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with nine wins and eight losses. They have been quite an inconsistent bunch, and much of it can be attributed to the […]

The Toronto Raptors have gotten off to a very solid start to the season. However, they were recently met with some news that should worry them despite their early success. As they shine on both sides of the ball, they will now have to look to keep that up without Pascal Siakam, who will be […]

The stars turned into spooks in the NBA as trick-or-treat season descended upon us. This is undoubtedly one of the more exciting periods in the basketball calendar, as many players channel the NBA Halloween spirit and dress up in costumes! Of course, given we’re talking about multi-millionaire NBA players here, their outfits are usually pretty […]

Even without the services of All-Star guard Fred VanVleet who missed the game due to back issues, the Toronto Raptors blew out a team with playoff aspirations in the Atlanta Hawks, thanks in no small part to Pascal Siakam’s 31 point, 12 rebound performance, as well as Scottie Barnes’ all-around contributions. However, it might be […]

Pascal Siakam has been insane to start the season thus far for the Toronto Raptors, powering them to a solid 3-2 start with two impressive wins over the Miami Heat and their latest triumph over the Philadelphia 76ers, a 119-109 win at home. In his latest effort against the Sixers, Siakam posted 20 points, five […]

The Toronto Raptors may have started the season at 1-2, but there’s plenty of optimistic takeaways from their first week. They have looked pretty good against the three teams they’ve faced, all contenders in the Eastern Conference. With Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Fred VanVleet leading the way, the team has looked pretty damn good. […]

Pascal Siakam has quietly been one of the most underrated players in the NBA. The Toronto Raptors forward made significant strides over the years, becoming a true number one option for the team. In the second game of the 2022-23 season, though, Siakam made a huge statement seen by many NBA fans. Against the Brooklyn […]

Pascal Siakam had one hell of a triple-double game for the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, but with the team losing to the Brooklyn Nets, he couldn’t help but focus on what he wasn’t able to do instead. The Cameroon native had a rather shocking reaction when he was made aware of his stat line […]

The Toronto Raptors find themselves in a bit of a weird spot in the 2022 – 23 season. They could easily be considered one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference. In fact, Toronto made the playoffs last season as the fifth seed. However, there are many who question whether this team has hit […]

The Toronto Raptors head into the 2022-23 NBA season with so much upside, but they also don’t (yet) have that true superstar to capture everyone’s imagination. Pascal Siakam earned Third Team All-NBA honors last season and reigning Rookie of the Yeart Scottie Barnes could be that guy, but for now, neither are quite there yet. Here […]

The Toronto Raptors are one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference this season. Under the leadership of Nick Nurse, the team has consistently been a a pain to deal with for other teams. The emergence of Scottie Barnes, and the emergence of Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam as the top options, have kept […]

Pascal Siakam isn’t exactly the most outspoken player out there. This is why renowned basketball trainer Rico Hines had to literally call out the Toronto Raptors star to deliver the closing message at the end of Hiners’ high-profile summer runs. With the players all gathered around to hear Hines’ final message, the Raptors development coach […]

Paul George, always deemed to be one of the friendliest guys in the NBA, has emerged as a real leader for the Los Angeles Clippers during his three-years in LA. Now his leadership is spilling over away from professional action. George, now 32 years of age, had his expectations for the Toronto Raptors skyrocket after […]

The NBA reached peak offseason. Free agents are on vacation after signing their deals, most of the Pro-Ams have come and gone, and the season is still two months away. Some guys, including LA Clippers talents, are still making sure to get their runs in. Paul George, Patrick Beverley, and Pascal Siakam are perfect examples […]

The Toronto Raptors are in a rather weird position today in the NBA. On one hand, the team found incredible success last season behind the heroics of Scottie Barnes, Fred VanVleet, and Pascal Siakam. On the other hand… they don’t quite have the talent level to compete with the big dogs of the Eastern Conference. […]
