(Toronto) The Toronto Raptors have traded Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers, according to several media reports.
Published at 3:20 p.m.
ESPN reported Wednesday that the Raptors would receive Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks from the Pacers. Toronto also welcomes Kira Lewis from the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Athletic reported Tuesday night that the Raptors and Pacers were close to a deal for Siakam, who was a two-time All-Star and was the only remaining player from the 2019 championship team.
Siakam is in the final year of a four-year contract worth US$136.9 million. He pockets 37.8 million this season.
The Raptors are 15-25 this season. Siakam is having a good campaign on an individual level, maintaining per game averages of 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 39 games.
This is another major transaction for the Raptors, who are aiming for a changing of the guard after several difficult seasons.
The Toronto team recently traded OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn to the New York Knicks in exchange for Canadian RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley.
