Commented by ESPN on June 2, the famous American sports media: Yesterday, the Pacers finally eliminated the Knicks 4-2 and won the Eastern Conference Championship and advanced to the finals, setting a team history record again. Pacers star Siakam deserved the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. His excellent performance on both offense and defense once again conquered everyone!

Pacers star Siakam played six games with the Knicks in this season's Eastern Conference Finals series, averaging 37.2 minutes per game, scoring 24.8 points + 5.0 rebounds + 3.5 assists + 1.3 steals + 0.7 blocks, shooting percentage 52.4%, three-point shooting percentage 50.0%, and free throw shooting percentage 67.4%. He performed well in this round of the series to lead the Pacers to the finals!

ESPN praised: How wise the Pacers' deal with the Raptors before the 2024 trading deadline is now. They got a surprise return in a short time to advance to the finals -

In January 2024, the Pacers and the Raptors made a deal: the Pacers sent out Bruce Brown + Worra + three first round picks, and the trade was given to Raptors forward star Siakam. The Pacers only took Siakam half a season to advance to the finals, and it can be said that they have become the real winner in this deal!
