CHICAGO—From his media day podium Saturday morning, Kyle Lowry looked to his right and tried to get the attention of his Raptors teammate.
“P? P? Pascal?” Lowry yelled at Pascal Siakam, who was seated one podium over and doing his own session at the same time. “You’re supposed to win the skills challenge … I just bet a lot of money on you.”
Lowry was joking, of course, and it’s a good thing after Siakam failed to get out of the second round of the skills event on Saturday night.
“Oh my god, I have to find a way to pay him back,” Siakam joked after the competition that involves dribbling, passing and making a layup and a three-point shot.
