Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been ruled out of the team’s game on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers due to “injury management.”

The Raptors will play the second of a back-to-back on Thursday night, with Siakam recently returning to the team following off-season shoulder surgery.

Siakam, 27, has played two games since his return – on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, both losses for the Raptors.

The 76ers will likely be missing a star of their own in Joel Embiid, who is currently in the NBA’s health and safety protocol.
