Pascal Siakam

Pascal Siakam, the All-Star forward, plans to sign a four-year maximum contract worth $189.5 million to remain with the Indiana Pacers according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Pacers’ management presented the offer to Siakam and his agents on Tuesday, and he intends to sign the deal on July 6, once the free agency moratorium ends.

Siakam was acquired by the Pacers in a blockbuster trade with the Toronto Raptors in January. He played a crucial role in the team’s success, helping them reach the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in a decade. 

The Pacers saw Siakam’s championship and All-NBA experience as a perfect complement to their All-NBA guard Tyrese Haliburton. With Siakam’s contract, the Pacers will have both him and Haliburton under contract through 2028 and 2029, respectively. Siakam’s deal will be the second-largest in Pacers history, behind Haliburton’s five-year, $245 million max extension signed last year.
