Pascal Siakam makes history for the Pacers

In the backdrop of the Pacers’ arena, Pascal Siakam’s acquisition by the Indiana Pacers was a significant pre-NBA Trade Deadline move. Despite Siakam heading towards unrestricted free agency after the season concludes, the Pacers express confidence in their ability to secure his re-signing. Siakam faced an adjustment period in the lineup, but he has now found his rhythm, showcasing an impressive performance in a victory against the Hornets on Sunday. In that game, Siakam achieved a statistical feat matched by only two other players in franchise history, according to StatMuse.

During the Pacers’ triumph over the Hornets, Pascal Siakam delivered an outstanding performance with 25 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, and notably, zero turnovers. This accomplishment makes him only the third player in Pacers franchise history to achieve such numbers without committing a turnover.

Siakam’s addition to the Pacers, alongside star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, holds the potential to elevate the team’s standing in the Eastern Conference. Since the trade, Siakam has participated in nine games, averaging slightly over 33 minutes per game. His impressive stats include an average of 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists, with shooting splits of 56.3 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three-point line, and 65.7 percent from the free-throw line.

The Pacers’ performance since acquiring Siakam has seen ups and downs, with a 4-6 record. They experienced a three-game losing streak, followed by a three-game winning streak, another three-game losing streak, before securing a victory against the Hornets. Currently, the Pacers hold a 28-23 record, placing them in sixth position in the Eastern Conference standings, a position that would exempt them from the play-in bracket.
