The Raptors have been back in action for 19 days now. Promising signs have already been delivered over the course of a 6-5 start, and whether it be Scottie Barnes making a highlight reel play, the trio of Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and Gary Trent Jr. executing in-game on the work they put in during the off-season, or hometown favourite Dalano Banton stepping in and making a positive contribution, Pascal Siakam has been there every step of the way to cheer his teammates on from the sidelines.
On Sunday afternoon against the Brooklyn Nets, it was time to leave the cheerleading to someone else.
