INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — It looks like All-NBA forward Pascal Siakam will stay in Indianapolis a little while longer.

Siakam, 30, intends to sign a four-year, $189.5-million contract to return to the Indiana Pacers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Wojnarowski says Siakam plans to sign the deal once free agency begins at 12:01 p.m. on Saturday, July 6.

Siakam played 39 games with the Toronto Raptors during the 2023-24 NBA season before joining the Pacers. He played 41 regular season games with Indiana and led the team in points per game (21.3) and rebounds per game (7.8).

Siakam played a key role in Indiana’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals, once again leading the Pacers in points (21.6) and rebounds (7.5) per game.

Re-signing Siakam was the Pacers top priority for the offseason since they lost Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals to the Boston Celtics.

Siakam was asked after the Game 4 loss about Indianapolis, and he had great things to say about the city and his time with the Pacers.

“The support from the first day has been incredible and I couldn’t really ask for anything better,” Siakam said.

The Pacers traded for Siakam in January, giving up Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, and three first-round picks.

After this deal becomes official, the Pacers will have their two standout players, Tyrese Haliburton and Siakam, locked in for the future. Haliburton is signed through 2028 and Siakam will be signed through 2029.

Siakam is a two time all-star and has made an All-NBA team twice in his career, earning second team in 2019-20 and third team in 2021-22 when he was with the Raptors. He also won Most Improved Player in the 2018-19 season.
