Why Pascal Siakam Isn't Playing Tonight vs. Warriors

The Indiana Pacers are resting several players on Sunday as they face the Golden State Warriors. Among those sitting out is Pascal Siakam, who appears on a crowded injury report.

"The Pacers have listed his absence as 'rest.'"

Given the long season, allowing Siakam to take a break seems sensible. He has carried a heavy load in games without Tyrese Haliburton, and the team gains little by exhausting him further, particularly as they continue to face challenges this season.
