‘Larger than life’ Mutombo, 58, dies of brain cancer

If the Toronto Raptors decide to trade Pascal Siakam before the deadline, the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons are considered the three most probable landing spots.

The Pistons continue to signal to opposing executives that they have interest in adding to their team immediately despite their pronounced struggles this season.

The Atlanta Hawks, who had long been connected to Siakam, have essentially bowed out of the running as they look to reset their roster in other ways.

The Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers have been mentioned as possible teams for Siakam, but lack the requisite pieces to trade to the Raptors.

Similar to their return of Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett from the New York Knicks for OG Anunoby, the Raptors are continuing to prioritize young, established players with upside over future draft capital.
