Why Pascal Siakam Isn't Playing Tonight vs. Warriors
The Indiana Pacers decided to rest several players on Sunday as they face the Golden State Warriors. Pascal Siakam is among those listed on the team's extensive injury report.
According to the Pacers, Siakam’s absence has been officially marked as
"rest". The decision appears practical given the length of the NBA season.
Siakam has carried a heavy workload in the absence of Tyrese Haliburton. Allowing him time off helps prevent fatigue and potential injury, especially as the team continues to face its challenges this season.
