From the time Pascal Siakam joined the team, the Pacers told him they were going to need something no other team had asked from him. They needed him to a speak up to a group that was desperate to hear what he had to say because he was an NBA champion and they were not. “It’s been challenging just because it’s not my personality naturally,” Siakam said. “It’s not who I am. I like to lead by example. But I’m just trying to use my voice a little bit more. It’s been great, though, because the reception has been good. It feels like when your voice is heard, it’s impactful.” -via Indianapolis Star / April 29, 2025
