Forward Pascal Siakam, who contributed to the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) advancing to
the Eastern Conference finals, will stay with them for four more years.
Sports media ESPN reported on the 19th (Korean time) that Siakam and Indiana had agreed to a contract extension, citing
sources.
The total annual salary that Siakam will receive over four years is $189.5 million (about 260 billion won).
Siakam is expected to sign the contract as soon as the free agency grace period, during which various administrative
procedures, including overall salary cap adjustment, ends, ends.
ESPN predicted the official contract date to be the 6th of next month.
According to the Associated Press, Siakam's contract is the second largest in Indiana team history.
In July of last year, Indiana signed a five-year contract with ace Tyrese Haliburton with a total value of $245 million
(approximately 340 billion won) including various incentives.
Siakam, who joined through a trade from the Toronto Raptors during the 2023-2024 season, played in 80 regular league
games and averaged 21.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.
The field goal success rate was also respectable at 53.6%.
In the playoffs (PO), he recorded a similar record to the regular season with an average of 21.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and
3.8 assists.
Indiana, whose strength was strengthened by the addition of Siakam, finished the regular season with 47 wins and 35
losses, placing 6th in the Eastern 추천 Conference.
Indiana, who defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (3rd place, 49-33), led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damien Lillard, in the
first round of the PO, also defeated the New York Knicks (2nd place, 50-32) and advanced to the Eastern Conference
finals.
It has been 10 years since the 2013-2014 season that Indiana advanced to the conference finals.
However, they failed to advance to the championship series after being blocked by the Boston Celtics, the defending
champion this season.
