The Toronto get set to host the Indiana Pacers and Pascal Siakam at Scotiabank Arena.
This will mark Siakam’s official return to Toronto. Siakam was traded by the Raptors to the Pacers on Jan. 17, signally the end of an era.
The Raptors are encouraging fans at Scotiabank Arena to be in their seats at 7:30 p.m. for the tribute for Siakam that will be done before the opening tip.
The team will also do Scottie Barnes’ all-star presentation right before the anthems. It will truly be a spectacle for the Raptors final game before they head into the all-star break.
The Raptors are coming off back-to-back embarrassing loses to the Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs.
Their latest loss was a new low. They got trounced by the 11-win Spurs. The Raptors hope to have a better showing for their fans in this game.
A key matchup and one that everyone will be watching is Scottie Barnes vs. Pascal Siakam.
Raptors fans will get to see their former all-star take on their current all-star and face of the franchise. This will be an exciting battle to watch.
The Pacers have listed Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring injury management) and Canadian Bennedict Mathurin (right knee bruise) as questionable. Jarace Walker (G League assignment) is also questionable.
For the Raptors they listed Markquis Nowell as out and RJ Barrett is questionable.
This will be the Raptors last game before heading into the break. After this they will have a full week off as their next game is set for Feb. 22 against the Brooklyn Nets.
