Head coach Nick Nurse does not allow misbehavior and Pascal Siakam found out on Thursday.
The latter was left out by his coach for the duel between the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks.
According to what reported The Athletic, the sanction would come in response to Siakam’s reaction after he was kicked out of his team’s last game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He had to leave due to the number of faults, but he would not have stayed with his teammates and he would have taken the direction of the locker room.
The Raptors are still chasing their first win after three games this season. During that streak, Siakam averaged 18.7 points and nine rebounds per game.
