Pascal Siakam is listed as doubtful with a calf contusion for the Toronto Raptors' Game 4 of their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam fouls Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler during second half, second round NBA basketball playoff action in Toronto, on Monday, April 29, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenettePHILADELPHIA -- It might have happened when he thrust out his right leg and tripped Joel Embiid in frustration. It might have been when he crashed hard to the floor after Embiid blocked his shot.
But even more than his minutes, Siakam hasn't shrivelled in this series like the majority of his teammates. He's been Toronto's second option behind Kawhi Leonard, averaging 22.9 points per game in the post-season.Siakam had 20 points in 30 minutes on Thursday before he was called for a flagrant foul when he stuck his right leg in the path of fellow Cameroonian Embiid during the fourth quarter. Embiid's knee appeared to strike Siakam's calf.
The Raptors are already missing a small forward in OG Anunoby, who had an emergency appendectomy two days before the playoffs tipped off.If there's any positive to fall back on it's the fact that the team played through a string of injuries plus Leonard's load management during the regular-season. Lowry, in particular, struggled in Game 3, shooting 2-for-10, including 0-for-4 from three-point range. Looking unsure with the ball in his hands, he passed up several more wide-open looks.
