Pascal Siakam has been a lifelong member of the Toronto Raptors. That was until Jan. 17, when the team traded him to the Indiana Pacers. Having already moved O.G. Anunoby, Toronto seemed destined for a rebuild, and this trade confirms that. Siakam netted the Raptors Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora, Kira Lewis, and three first-round picks. It is quite the haul, but the Raptors will now be without their two-time All-Star. Siakam has one of the largest contracts in the NBA, and his net worth is $30 million, so in this article, we are going to look at how he came to his wealth.

Pascal Siakam’s net worth in 2024 (estimate): $30 million

Pascal Siakam is worth about $30 million in 2024. This is according to sources like celebritynetworth.com and wealthygorilla.com. Considering Siakam came from little and was born in Cameroon, the power forward has done quite well for himself.

Of course, the majority of Siakam’s wealth comes from his NBA contracts. Siakam was the 27th overall pick in 2016, and his rookie scale contract as a first-rounder paid him $6.41 million on a four-year deal. Siakam didn’t do much in his first two seasons, but he burst onto the scene in year three. His emergence forced the Raptors to pick up the third and fourth-year options on their youngster, and it also allowed Siakam to get a hefty pay raise in his next contract.

Siakam’s second deal was a four-year, $136.9 million deal that he signed in 2019. That is currently the deal he is on, and this year is also the last year of his contract. While the Pacers have been praised for acquiring an All-Star caliber player, their trade with the Raptors is somewhat risky as Siakam can walk away to a new team in free agency this offseason.

Siakam’s deal is not only warranted for his play on the hardwood but it is also a necessity, as the former Raptor is often fined. In fact, he has been fined 26 times because he frequently gets technical fouls.

In addition to his NBA money, Siakam has also done well when it comes to getting endorsements and sponsorship deals. Siakam has deals with Red Bull, Jif, and Nando’s Canada. The latter deal was unique as Siakam played on the only NBA team in Canada, and Nando’s is a Canadian restaurant.

Pascal Siakam’s career

Growing up in Cameroon, Pascal Siakam initially had little interest in basketball. He was originally discovered by Luc Mbah a Moute, and he eventually started playing in the then NBA player’s camps. Siakam was raw, but his work ethic and God-given traits were always prevalent. Eventually, he worked his way up the total pole until he earned a spot with New Mexico State. Siakam quickly became one of the best players in the WAC, and he declared for the draft in 2016.

The Raptors selected Siakam 27th overall in 2016. Siakam’s first NBA game was also his first start and the first NBA game he ever had seen in person. He started 38 games during his rookie season, but his statistics were not jaw-dropping. Siakam even spent time in the G-League, and there, teams saw the potential he truly had. Siakam led the Raptors 905 G-League team to the Finals, and he was named G-League Finals MVP.

Year three saw a massive leap in Siakam’s development. He scored 16.9 points per game, up from 7.3. Additionally, he helped Toronto win the NBA Finals with the help of their new megastar, Kawhi Leonard. Siakam even won the Most Improved Player of the Year Award this season.

Leonard left for the Los Angeles Clippers after the championship, though, and it allowed Siakam to become a true number-one option. Siakam became an All-Star in 2020 and 2023, an All-NBA Second Team member in 2020, and an All-NBA Third Team member in 2022. Last season, Siakam averaged a career-high 24.2 points per game. He is at 22.2 points per game this season and 17.4 points per game for his career.

The Pacers have one of the best offenses in the NBA, but they needed another star to pair with Tyrese Haliburton. That is why the team was willing to trade a pretty penny to acquire Siakam. Now, the power forward will be paired with the best playmaker he has ever played with, and the hope is he will reach new heights on his new team. With that said, were you surprised by Pascal Siakam’s net worth in 2024? His net worth is surely to increase next year, as he is expected to sign a massive deal this offseason. Only time will tell if that deal comes with the Pacers or elsewhere.
