The Indiana Pacers took a risk when they acquired Pascal Siakam just before his free agency. They then re-signed him, and his All-Star berth proves it was all worth it.

Pascal Siakam led seven Pacers in double figures as Indiana blew an 18-point lead but held off the Hawks in the fourth quarter.

On Wednesday, after returning back home from Paris, the Indiana Pacers picked up where they left off, beating the Detroit Pistons 133-119. Pascal Siakam was unstoppable, scoring 37 points, which is the most he has traded since joining the team midway through last season.
