Pascal Siakam is set to play for the Indiana Pacers tonight against the New York Knicks. It's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, with the series shifting from New York to Indiana. The Pacers are down 2-0 after two tight losses at Madison Square Garden and full of questionable calls.
Siakam has been very durable for the Pacers since getting traded by the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 17. He has not suffered any injuries and is one of the reasons why Indiana finished sixth in the East. He also torched the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, leading to their first series win in a decade.
What happened to Pascal Siakam?
As mentioned above, Pascal Siakam is not on the Indiana Pacers' injury report for tonight. He's perfectly healthy and will suit up for Game 3 against the Knicks. His last injury was a minor back issue in early January when he was with the Toronto Raptors.
The Pacers have two players on their injury report for Game 3 – Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin. Haliburton has been listed as questionable due to lower back spams. He's coming off his best game of the playoffs, while Mathurin is out with a right shoulder injury.
