**Pascal Siakam Nears Impressive Career Milestone With Indiana Pacers**
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam is inching closer to a major career achievement. The veteran star is approaching 10,000 career points, a mark few players in the NBA reach. As of Monday, he has 9,963 points, just 37 away from the milestone.
Siakam joined the Pacers in January 2024 after being traded from the Toronto Raptors. Since then, he has become a key piece of Indiana’s lineup. In his last game, he scored 20 points in a 116–111 win against the Orlando Magic. He also added 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
This kind of performance is nothing new for Siakam. Since arriving in the NBA in 2016, he has averaged over 17 points per game during his career. He even won the NBA’s Most Improved Player award in 2019 and earned two All-Star selections. Reaching 10,000 points now cements him as one of the league’s most consistent producers.
Head coach Rick Carlisle praised Siakam’s impact on and off the court. “Pascal brings experience, leadership, and energy,” Carlisle said. “He’s a winner.”
The Pacers are counting on Siakam as they push for playoff success. With the regular season winding down, every game matters. Siakam’s leadership will be critical during this stretch. Teammate Tyrese Haliburton said, “Pascal gives us a new level. He’s been in big games before.”
Currently, the Pacers are in a competitive spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The team hopes that with Siakam’s help, they can make a deep playoff run. The pairing of Siakam with Haliburton has already boosted the team’s offense.
Off the court, Siakam remains active in community programs. He recently launched a youth basketball project in Indiana. His foundation in Toronto also continues to support education for African youth.
As he nears the rare 10,000-point mark, fans and teammates are celebrating Siakam’s journey. It’s a story of hard work, growth, and resilience. The next Pacers game could be the one where he reaches this special number.
