"Well, fast forward to September, and here we are with intriguing news courtesy of ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania. He reported that the NBA would once again be tweaking its All-Star Game format, as the new weekend showcase is " likely to feature a round-robin tournament consisting three eight-player squads of two USA teams and one World team," as Charania noted in an X post."
"The ex-Raptors franchise player, now-Pacers veteran star, has experienced his fair share of highs and lows during his 2020s peak. Be that as it may, when it comes to international talent who have maintained an impressive level of consistency, while also displaying a fair amount of growth - Pascal Siakam has to be among the top mentions. And drawing off of that, the window of opportunity for "Spicy P" ( or Dr. Siakam as he was recently christened) has swung wide open"
The NBA is reportedly planning a revamped All-Star format likely to feature a round-robin tournament with three eight-player squads: two USA teams and one World team. Pascal Siakam, now a veteran star with the Indiana Pacers and former Raptors franchise player, has shown sustained growth and international-caliber consistency throughout the 2020s. Siakam earned early career playoff success with a Raptors championship and later individual honors including All-NBA Second Team, All-NBA Third Team, Most Improved Player, and an Eastern Conference Finals MVP. Recent performance and a leading role in Indiana's 2025 Finals run position him well for World team selection.
