Pascal Siakam shot 5-of-17 from the field and 3-of-5 from the foul line in Friday’s loss to the Heat, scoring 13 points with five rebounds, four assists and two steals.
After a stellar showing on Wednesday in Indiana’s first game since losing Tyrese Haliburton to a hamstring strain, Siakam was held in check by the Timberwolves. He missed all five three-point attempts, which hurt his overall field-goal percentage. Haliburton doesn’t have a firm return timeline, but the Pacers will rely even more on Siakam in their point guard’s absence. Nights like Friday won’t become the norm for Siakam, but no Haliburton is a big deal.
