TORONTO — Pascal Siakam is back in Toronto, for one game only.

Siakam and his Indiana Pacers play the Raptors tonight.

He played the first eight years of his NBA career in Toronto and was instrumental in the Raptors championship victory in 2019.

Siakam was traded to Indiana in a blockbuster deal on Jan. 17.

He told reporters at morning shootaround that it was “weird” walking into Scotiabank Arena as a visitor.
