Siakam confirmed to make his debut today!Haliburton is also officially back New Pacers revenge Trail Blazers?

On January 20, Beijing time, according to Woj, the Pacers' new signing Siakam will make his debut today, and Haliburton, the core of the team, will usher in a comeback in this game (note: he missed 4 games due to a hamstring injury). The new version of the Pacers is officially online, and their first opponent is the Trail Blazers. The last time they met, the Trail Blazers beat the Pacers 114-110, and for them, it was also a battle for revenge.

Siakam flew to Indianapolis yesterday for a medical check-up, and Pacers executives headed to the airport to greet the new signing. In a previous three-way trade, Siakam was traded from the Raptors to the Pacers, and the combination of him and Haliburton is exciting. As soon as Siakam got off the plane, he turned on his phone to greet the Pacers fans via video. He then started practice at the Pacers training gym and soon traveled to Portland to join the team.

Siakam will continue to wear the number 43 shirt in his new squad. So far this season, he has played in 39 games, averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. He was the No. 27 pick in the first round of the 2016 Draft, played for the Raptors since being drafted, and now he will open a new chapter with the Pacers.

Previously, referee Redick had been bullish on Sika's future with the Pacers. "The Pacers are the most efficient team in NBA history, and in my opinion, they've brought in a player who fits the system perfectly," he said. He's going to play very, really well with the Pacers. ”

The Lowe report that the Pacers were one of the teams that called the Jazz to inquire about Markkanen before trading Siakam. Sources said the Jazz had zero interest in sending Markkanen away during those brief conversations.
