Despite the losing record, Toronto Raptors’ All-Star Pascal Siakam just gave his best week of basketball in nearly a year.
It’s been a rough few months for Pascal Siakam (and the Toronto Raptors). Since his mid-season groin injury, last year his play and his approval rating on and off the court have been trending steadily downwards.
While it’s never fun to see your team’s star player disappoint, it was even weirder in Pascal’s case because he was so universally loved beforehand.
