Pascal Siakam Hasn’t Talked Extension With Raptors

While the Toronto Raptors can pay Pascal Siakam up to $197 million, Siakam has no interest in signing an extension as of right now.

This is a very unique situation because Siakam has never requested a trade, according to Shams Charania. He’s being patient and taking his time on his future in the NBA.

The 29-year-old is in the final year of his deal, which means he will be an unrestricted free agent come next offseason.

Teams like the Hawks have been interested in trading for the forward, but he has expressed he won’t sign an extension with the team that trades for him. This, in turn, has caused his trade stock to be slow and a little more on the low side.

Per Charania, Atlanta has offered Toronto a package consisting of De’Andre Hunter, AJ Griffin, and draft picks for Siakam.

Trade talks between the two teams have been paused, it is unclear what the future of Siakam is as all options are still on the table.

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.
