Comes close to double-double
Siakam accumulated 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 137-130 loss to the Lakers.
Analyse
Siakam was the Pacers' go-to scoring weapon until he was ejected, and despite the collective struggles, the star forward continues to find ways to produce. Siakam has been limited to just six games in March due to wrist and knee injuries, but he's been productive when needed. He's averaging 24.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in six March appearances, so while his availability is something that needs to be monitored closely in the final weeks of the season, he's a player you should start with confidence if he gets the green light to suit up.

Cleared to face Lakers
Siakam (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
Siakam was initially tabbed probable due to a sprained right knee, but he's officially been given the green light to play. Siakam is averaging 24.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game this season.

Listed probable for Wednesday
Siakam is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a right knee sprain.
Analyse
This appears to be a precautionary listing for Siakam, who erupted for 37 points in Monday's victory over the Magic. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks leading up to Wednesday, he should get the green light to suit up.

Drops 37 points in win
Siakam supplied 37 points (13-26 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist across 34 minutes in Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.
Analyse
Appearing in his second consecutive contest following a six-game absence due to a right knee sprain, Siakam erupted for 37 points and helped snap the Pacers' 16-game losing streak. The star forward has reached the 30-point threshold in three of his nine outings since the beginning of February. He also chipped in multiple steals and multiple blocks for the first time since Dec. 18. With Indiana holding a league-worst record of 16-56, he may continue to receive maintenance days on a regular basis.

Good to go Monday
Siakam (knee) will play Monday against Orlando.
Analyse
Siakam carried a questionable tag throughout the day due to a right knee sprain, and the team has since cleared him to take the court Monday evening. He totaled 14 points, two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes Saturday in his first action since March 8, and he'll presumably be in line for a similar workload against the Magic.

Iffy for Monday
Siakam (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
Siakam returned from a six-game absence due to a right knee sprain in Saturday's loss to the Spurs, during which he tallied 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes. However, the star forward may be held out of Monday's contest. If Siakam is ultimately ruled out, Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Logs 29 minutes in return
Siakam supplied 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 134-119 loss to San Antonio.
Analyse
Siakam returned from a six-game absence, a somewhat unexpected turn of events. With Indiana striving for as many losses as possible, the chance of Siakam being shut down for the season seemed like a viable possibility. Though he got back on the floor, it would be surprising to see him play every game down the stretch, making him a tough player to roster with any amount of confidence.
21. März 2026
Officially cleared Saturday
Siakam (knee) will play in Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analyse
Siakam will return from a six-game absence after missing time because of a sprained right knee. His return can't come at a better time, considering the Pacers won't have Ivica Zubac (rib) for the remainder of the campaign. Siakam will also have the luxury of facing a Spurs squad that may be without Victor Wembanyama (ankle).
20. März 2026
Questionable for Saturday
Siakam is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs with a right knee sprain.
Analyse
Siakam is trying to end a six-game absence Saturday. If the star forward returns versus San Antonio, fewer minutes would be available to Jarace Walker in the frontcourt.
