What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Looked like it may have been Herbert Jones’ left hand trying to swipe at the ball but inadvertently knocking Pascal Siakam in the face – 8:54 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Looked like Pascal Siakam got poked in the eye on that play by Brandon Ingram. No foul called but he immediately was holding his face and asked to get checked out. Walked straight to the back. – 8:53 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Herbert Jones defensive versatility: He opened the game guarding Pascal Siakam, who has been scorching the last couple weeks. Now Jones is on Fred VanVleet, who began the night slowly before sinking a three then a mid-range jumper – 8:23 PM

Pascal Siakam is still snubbed. His season stats:
22.1 PPG
8.7 RPG
5.2 APG
50.0 FG%
He’s averaging 25/10/6 on 57/42/75% shooting in his last 12 games. pic.twitter.com/RlRdvG5qiO – 4:41 PM

Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report
As expected, both the #Cavs and #Raptors are making pushes for Jarrett Allen and Pascal Siakam, respectively, to get the new spot vacated by James Harden. Seems it’s down to these two. – 3:54 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
A week after winning it, Pascal Siakam is a nominee for the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, won by old friend DeMar DeRozan. – 3:44 PM

Pascal Siakam since reserves were announced:

Allen has been good, very good even. Siakam absolutely SHOULD replace Harden at all-star. – 1:56 PM
NBA Math @NBA_Math
Top potential James Harden All-Star injury replacements, per our RPR MVP Predictor:
Jarrett Allen (No. 20 overall)
Pascal Siakam (No. 23)
Jrue Holiday (No. 24) – 12:56 PM
Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
The @Philadelphia 76ers make it official, James Harden is out of the All-Star Game (and the team’s games this week) to recover from his hamstring issue.
Jarrett Allen deserves to be the replacement. I wouldn’t be mad at Pascal Siakam, but it should be Allen. – 12:42 PM
