Quotes from Pascal Siakam

“Shoutout Indy, man. It’s been such an amazing experience for me so far. Just unbelievable, man. First-class organization. I’m just so happy to be here. Whenever we’re down, we always find a way. And we did that tonight.”

Siakam’s journey with the Pacers started in the 2023-24 season after transitioning from the Toronto Raptors, and he has since maintained an average of over 20 points in consecutive seasons. This season marked his return to All-Star form after a challenging period.

The Pacers made a strong comeback from a Game 5 loss, wrapping up the series at 4-2 against the Knicks, aiming to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the finals—their first appearance since 2000. Siakam’s upcoming finals experience adds to his legacy, having won a championship with the Raptors in 2019.
