The adductor muscles connect the hips to the thighs and help support leg movement.
Siakam underwent further imaging on Saturday following his early exit from Friday’s game against Dallas. The 6-foot-9 forward fell awkwardly when attempting to drive past Mavericks’ defenders. Siakam did not return and the Raptors fell short, losing 111-110.
The 28-year-old Cameroonian star is averaging 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists in 9 games for the Raptors this season. He’s recorded five double-doubles to help the Raptors to a 5-4 start in the 2022-23 season.
