The blockbuster deal played a significant role in the franchise's run to the Eastern Conference finals for the time in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>The Pacers pursued Siakam in the final year of his Raptors contract, pairing him with All-NBA guard Tyrese Haliburton. Indiana will now have Haliburton and Siakam under contract through 2028 and 2029, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2>Siakam became the third player to average 35 points, 10 rebounds in each of his first two playoff games<\/h2>\n<p>Siakam averaged 21.3 points on 55% shooting and 39% 3-point shooting in 41 regular-season games upon arriving in Indiana.
