Multi-Time All-NBA Player Locks Down Max Contract

Pascal Siakam has agreed to a contract back with the Indiana Pacers for four years 189.5 million dollars. Coming off a blockbuster trade from Toronto to Indiana before the deadline, Siakam played a crucial role in the Pacers playoff run. With 41 games as a Pacer, Siakam had his most efficient shooting splits of his career. Being the dominant wing scorer that the Pacers need, the two sides were a perfect fit to extend a contract.

Although Siakam did not make the list this year, he brings star talent as a former All-Star and All-NBA caliber player. He plays a crucial role for the Pacers to take the next leap, aiming to reach the NBA finals that they fell short of this past postseason. Partnered with Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers’ high-paced offense, Siakam gives the Pacers the one-two punch that could develop for years to come in Indiana. As one of the veterans on a young roster, the Pacers will heavily lean on Siakam to guide the team and reach their full potential.

Entering next season at age 29, Siakam is at the height of his career. After building a solid resume in Toronto, Siakam has the chance to catapult a newly rebuilt Pacers team. The 2019 NBA Champion now carries much more weight being a focal point of the offense. As a 20+ ppg scorer in each of the last five seasons, Siakam looks to repeat his past success in the role of a primary scorer in Indiana.
