An hour after the report from Charania, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the deal will also include the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans will send Kira Lewis to the Raptors and a second-rounder to the Pacers, allowing the Pelicans to fall below the luxury tax threshold.

The Raptors had reportedly been looking at trade options for Siakam before the Feb. 8 trade deadline after already trading OG Anunoby to the Knicks. Siakam had previously said he wanted to stay in Toronto.

The two-time NBA all-star is currently averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game for the Raptors this season.

On Tuesday, FanDuel released odds for Siakam's next team. Although the favorite was for Siakam to stay in Toronto, the Pacers were the next likely destination at +500 odds.

The Pacers currently sit in the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a 23-17 record. They are just one game back of the fourth seed.
