Pascal Siakam was one of the few bright spots in the Toronto Raptors most recent loss against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Siakam finished with 31 points, 5 rebonds and 5 assists. He shot 10-16 from the field and 11-12 from the free throw line.
With the performance Siakam moved up the Raptors franchise history ladder.
Per Sportsnet’s Blake Murphy, Siakam is now top-five in Raptors franchise history in points, rebounds, and assists.
This is an impressive feat for Siakam who is slowly building up a great resume with the Raptors. Whether or not he gets traded remains to be seen, but for now he is still putting up some nice numbers in a Raptors uniform.
Siakam’s 30-point performance against the 76ers made some more Raptors franchise history:

Siakam passing Raptors legend Chris Bosh is remarkable. Many Raptors fans consider Siakam a top-5 Raptor of all-time and it’s hard to deny that.
He’s a two-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA, NBA Champion and he keeps piling up the numbers.
There’s been a lot of talk about Siakam’s future in Toronto. He’s on the final year of his current deal. Siakam is set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer and he is in line for a max contract.
There was chatter about a potential Siakam trade this past offseason but nothing came up from it. But now Toronto is 11-17 to start the season and Siakam trade rumors have popped up again.
Contending teams will be interested in Siakam as he is an All-Star who can help put a team over the top.
Regardless of how Siakam’s tenure ends in Toronto, there’s no doubt that he will be remembered as one of the greatest Raptors of all-time.
