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

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

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

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

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
