Latest NBA experiment all but guarantees Pascal Siakam another legacy-defining honor

It's looking like the NBA All-Star Game is going to undergo another big change, and that bodes incredibly well for Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam.

According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the NBA is expected to shift to a USA vs. World All-Star Game format for 2026. Given that Siakam, who was already an All-Star last season, is expected to have his biggest role with the Pacers so far next season, this should only make it even more likely that he earns the honor once again next season.

"Never seen before: USA-World concept. Three teams, two USA squads, one World team, it's gonna be eight players per squad," Charania said about the new NBA All-Star Game format.
