Indiana acquired Siyakom midway through the 2023-24 season when he was traded from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for winger Bruce Brown, forward Jordan Vora and three first-round draft picks.

‘Spicy P’ averaged 21.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 41 games for the Pacers. His accuracy improved to 39% in the new shirt.

In the post-season, the 30-year-old averaged 21.6 points, leading the team to the Eastern Championship, with his 367 total points being the most since Paul George in 2014.  

The two-time All-Star’s salary is second on the team behind guard Tyrese Haliburton, who just signed a five-year, $245 million contract in 2023.
