NBA Injuries: Pascal Siakam's Official Status For The Pacers-Raptors Game

Pascal Siakam will not play in Wednesday's game between the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors.

The Indiana Pacers are on the road to face the Toronto Raptors in Canada on Wednesday evening. 

The team is coming off of a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night and has a 1-3 record. 

Meanwhile, the Raptors are also 1-3. 

The Pacers are lucky they will not have to face NBA Champion and former All-Star Pascal Siakam, who is out due to a shoulder injury he sustained last year that he is recovering from. 

The status of Siakam for the game against the Pacers on Wednesday can be seen in a tweet that is embedded below from Tony East of Forbes. 

No Pascal Siakam for the Raptors tomorrow against the Pacers as he is still recovering from the left shoulder injury suffered last season.

Pacers injury report has yet to be submitted.

Siakam has yet to play in a game this season. 

More on Siakam can be seen in a tweet that is embedded below from Michael Grange of Sportsnet.

Pascal Siakam (shoulder) went live at practice today, no restrictions, as did Yuta Watanabe. Both will practice with Raptors 905 on Wednesday. Watanabe is considered 'close', but it would seem Siakam *might* be ahead of schedule, based on previous target of mid-to-late Nov.
