Star Player Unexpectedly Downgraded for Clippers vs. Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have added Pascal Siakam to their injury report

The Toronto Raptors are in Los Angeles on Wednesday night to face the LA Clippers, and star forward Pascal Siakam has unexpectedly been downgraded to questionable with back spasms. Siakam was not initially on the injury report, but with this being the second night of a back-to-back, it seems some discomfort has emerged for the Raptors star.

Toronto fell to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night in what was a very controversial game. There were a lot of foul calls that Toronto did not agree with, particularly in the fourth quarter. Looking to bounce back from that frustrating loss, the Raptors get to stay in Los Angeles to face the Clippers on Wednesday night.

If Siakam is unable to go, this significantly changes the outlook of this game. While Siakam is expected to be elsewhere after this season's trade deadline, he is still a very big part of Toronto's team. The Raptors are in a tough spot right now with all of the trade rumors, and having already traded away OG Anunoby, but they have proven to still be a tough opponent on any given night.

Siakam will likely go through his pregame warmup routine before making a final call on his status for this game. For now, the Raptors star has been downgraded from available to questionable for this game.
