Toronto Raptors fans are watching Indiana Pacers star Pascal Siakam dominate in the playoffs. In turn, Raptors fans are remembering Siakam's integral role during the team's NBA Finals run.
Siakam has played incredibly well in the Eastern Conference Finals. Here are his stats through the first four games against the New York Knicks:
- Game 1: 17 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds
- Game 2: 39 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists
- Game 3: 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists
- Game 4: 30 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists
Now, Siakam has moved up on the playoff all-time points list and passed two NBA Hall of Famers in the process. He passed Chris Webber and Sidney Moncrief to move up to 129th with 1,503 points and sits right behind Richard Jefferson.
Going into Game 5, Siakam has played 84 career postseason games and is averaging 17.9 points. During this run, he is averaging 20.8 points with 5.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
Siakam, who played college basketball at New Mexico State, was selected 17th overall by the Raptors in the 2016 NBA Draft. The Raptors traded him during the 2023-24 season to the Pacers for multiple players and draft picks, and Siakam has become an important part of the Pacers' rotation and team that is one win away from the NBA Finals.
Game 5 is on Thursday, and an Indiana win will send Siakam to the NBA Finals once again.
