Even after finishing bottom of the Eastern Conference a year after the Indiana Pacers reached the NBA Finals, Pascal Siakam received so much love from NBA coaches that he still got the nod to the All-Star Game. Siakam has been a soldier all season for a Pacers team that is simply biding its time, and he got justly rewarded for it.
As the festivities ended, Siakam posted photos and videos on Instagram documenting his experience of making it to the All-Star Game for the fourth time. And the Pacers star certainly enjoyed his experience with Team World, even though they lost both of their games in extremely close fashion.
Siakam got plenty of support in his latest post, including from his Pacers co-star Tyrese Haliburton, whose eventual comeback from a heartbreaking torn Achilles in Game 7 of the NBA Finals is expected to get Indiana back into the title picture.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,” Haliburton wrote in the comments section, highlighting Siakam’s four All-Star appearances.
Haliburton and Siakam have proven that they can step up their games when it matters most for the Pacers, making them ideal players for Indiana to build a competitive team.
Pascal Siakam, Pacers face tough gap
Haliburton’s absence may grab most of the headlines, but the Pacers have been so hurt on almost every front that they’ve never had a chance to remain semi-competitive. Obi Toppin has missed a lot of time. So are Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard. Indiana began the season without TJ McConnell. Luck did not favor him this season.
Siakam’s All-Star nod at least helps cover some of the sting of the tough hiatus he’s experiencing. But next season, the Pacers will mean business, especially with the return of Haliburton and Ivica Zubac.
