Pascal Siakam’s absence from the Raptors’ Summer League game has fueled trade rumors surrounding the star forward. According to a report by Michael Grange of sportsnet.ca, Siakam’s decision to stay away suggests his reluctance to be present amid ongoing contract extension discussions and trade talks.

Siakam’s impressive season, averaging 24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists, has garnered significant interest from other teams. The Raptors are reportedly open to exploring trade options for Siakam, with the Hawks and Pacers among the potential suitors.

While the Raptors are not rushing to make a decision, they remain committed to avoiding a full rebuild and are unlikely to entertain offers for O.G. Anunoby, their standout defender.
