After undergoing shoulder surgery in June and then missing training camp and the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam is still striving for consistency on both ends of the floor. But as Josh Lewenberg writes, consistency is hard to come by when your body is still playing catch up.

With key defenders OG Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr. and Khem Birch out of the lineup with injuries, the Raptors are desperate to find someone who can give them a spark and take some of the pressure off the starters. But the team’s supporting cast has underperformed this season as Toronto is last in the NBA in bench scoring, Josh Lewenberg writes.

Pascal Siakam underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder in early June. It’s been a long and emotional road to get back on the court, but after months of blood, sweat, and yes, even a few tears, he’s here. Josh Lewenberg has more on the 27-year-old's return in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

Friday’s loss to the Cavs snapped the Raptors’ five-game winning streak, and in coach Nick Nurse’s words, it was a “strange” defeat. But reinforcements could be on the way soon with Pascal Siakam nearing a return. Josh Lewenberg has more.

Centre Khem Birch and guard Gary Trent Jr. are playing the best basketball of their careers with the Toronto Raptors so far in 2021-22 and, as Josh Lewenberg writes, their fingerprints have been all over the team’s surprising early-season success.

Khem Birch is getting his conditioning back and is starting to look more like the player that turned heads in 19 games with the Raptors last year. He played all but five minutes of the second half against the Knicks Monday night and did the dirty work – the little things that impact winning, Josh Lewenberg writes.
