Siakam recorded 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 22 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Siakam had a relatively quiet shooting performance but compensated by posting solid numbers in other areas -- he dished out four assists without committing a turnover and recorded two blocks, showcasing his ability to provide value beyond scoring. Siakam played 22 minutes as Indiana distributed playing time across its roster, but the limited playing time is only a way to manage the workload with the start of the regular season right around the corner. Expect Siakam to be a key player for the Pacers thanks to his combination of playmaking, scoring and defensive production, making him a reliable two-way threat for Indiana.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Eligible for big extension
Rotowire
Siakam has been eligible since July 6 to sign a three-year extension worth up to $207 million with Indiana, according to Zion Brown of the Indianapolis Star.
Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan declined to discuss the team's extension plans, saying he prefers to keep contract matters confidential out of respect for players and their agents. Siakam's current contract runs through the 2027-28 season, so there doesn't appear to be immediate pressure for the two sides to reach a new agreement.
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Bright spot in tough season
Rotowire
Siakam remained one of Indiana's most productive players in 2025-26, providing consistent scoring, rebounding and veteran leadership during a rebuilding campaign.
The four-time All-Star can now look forward to complementing a returning Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) as the Pacers' top frontcourt option and should remain heavily involved offensively. Indiana made no significant offseason additions that would impact Siakam's workload heading into 2026-27, and the fact that Indiana is projected to be competitive is great news for his outlook.
Siakam (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Siakam will miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday, and it'll be Micah Potter, Obi Toppin and Jalen Slawson helping pick up the slack in his absence. Siakam made it through 62 games in his age-31 season, posting averages of 24.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.1 steals per contest.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Siakam (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Nets.
The Pacers have been out of playoff contention for a while now, so it doesn't make any sense to play Siakam if he's dealing with an injury, as minor as it might be. Obi Toppin is expected to see a bigger role in the frontcourt with Siakam out.

Rotowire
Siakam (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
The star forward is unable to play through a sprained left ankle Tuesday. With Siakam sidelined, Kobe Brown and Obi Toppin (foot), who's expected to play Tuesday, should each see more minutes at power forward.
