It has been a hard year for Pascal Siakam, the hardest of his professional career by far, and the still-young Raptor is still trying to figure it all out.
He’s wrestled with a yearlong disruption to his life — having to live in Toronto first, then a bubble in Orlando and now Tampa — which has altered his existence at every level.
He’s dealt with the harsh realities of COVID-19 personally, taken away from his familiar surroundings and his life for nearly three weeks this past month.
He’s on a basketball team that’s struggled more than any he’s been on before in Toronto, unable to gain any traction on the season so far.
