Pacers Expected To Offer Pascal Siakam Max Contract This Summer

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Indiana Pacers are looking to extend their newest acquisition to a long-term deal after having tremendous success with him.

General Manager Chad Buchanan and Indiana are ready to offer the 30-year-old a max deal that goes up to five years; it’s been reported that both sides have a mutual interest in continuing their partnership.

“They understand it’s a maximum level contract commitment you’re going to have with Pascal Siakam,” said Shams Charania. “That’s what they’re preparing to offer him this summer. He wants to be there. There’s mutual interest in getting a deal done.”

An extension is very likely due to Siakam wanting an extension from a team, which will now be the Pacers, and never getting that from the Toronto Raptors.

The Pacers made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals before getting swept by the Boston Celtics.

Pelicans Fearful Zion Williamson (Hamstring) Will Miss More Time

According to the team, the New Orlean Pelicans are bracing for the reality of Zion Williamson being out for more than his scheduled timeline.

Originally, the 24-year-old was set to return in four to six weeks, however, multiple treatments have not allowed him to properly recover. This has caused him to be no where near playing shape.

Williamson has been out since November 6th, which has caused him to play in only six of the seventeen available games.

Zion appeared in a career-high 70 games last season. He’s only played in 190 career games since entering the league in 2019.

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has suffered swelling in his left knee and will require time off to heal.

Right now, Embiid is set to miss at least two games, as the 30-year-old was ruled out for Friday’s game and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Thirty minutes before tip off, Embiid was ruled out for the game on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The expectation was for him to test his knee out, but he never made it onto the court.

Embiid has only played in four of the fifteen possible games this season.
