The Miami Heat are supposedly interested in Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam, according to Eric Koreen of The Athletic. The Raptors lost to the New York Knicks last night, dropping them to 9-14 and currently sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. Koreen notes that the Raptors may decide to sell before this season’s trade deadline, with Siakam in the final year of his contract.
