TAMPA, Fla. - Three nights after Pascal Siakam’s verbal outburst, Raptors coach Nick Nurse says there’s no rift between the two.
The Raptors forward was enraged after sitting out the fourth quarter of Toronto’s 116-105 loss to Cleveland. And while the Raptors said a report that Siakam had been fined US$50,000 was incorrect, Nurse said “the discipline stuff is being worked out with the front office.”
When asked if he and Siakam had talked since, Nurse said the outburst was already all but forgotten.
“Yeah, of course I’ve connected with him,” he said ahead of Wednesday’s game against the visiting Denver Nuggets.
