Siakam last played in the Raptors 122-113 loss to the Chicago Bulls Thursday, playing 38 minutes, scoring 27 points, eight rebounds and one assist. This season, he has started in 43 games, averaging 35 minutes, scoring 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists per game. He also leads the team in usage with a 25.3% usage rate.
