Raptors' All-NBA power forward Pascal Siakam will be re-evaluated on Nov. 18 after suffering a right groin adductor strain last Wednesday.
The 28-year-old's return is unlikely to come at the two-week mark, according to the Pro Basketball Docs, and he will likely miss at least three weeks of action.
The two week mark is a check-in benchmark, not a potential return date, and the Raptors will likely decide his official recovery timeline at that time.
Siakam suffered the groin strain when he slipped on the floor and his leg extended in the third quarter and he didn't return.
Siakam is averaging 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists on 47.9% shooting this season.
Rookie second-round pick Christian Koloko had 11 points, seven rebounds, and six blocks in 31 minutes on Sunday in place of Siakam and he will likely continue to start while he is out.
