BREAKING NEWS: Pascal Siakam Shocks NBA & MLB Worlds With Selfless Act After Historic Contract Move
In an unprecedented turn of events that has stunned both the NBA and MLB communities, Indiana Pacers All-Star forward Pascal Siakam has officially signed a groundbreaking multi-sport contract — but it’s what happened afterthe signing that’s stealing headlines.
Just hours after finalizing a surprising deal that will see him make his professional debut in Major League Baseball next season, Siakam’s bold crossover from basketball to baseball was already making waves. However, it was Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle who delivered the most shocking twist yet.
In a heartfelt press conference early this morning, Carlisle revealed that Siakam’s $43.7 million signing bonus — secured as part of his historic MLB contract — would not be going to the star athlete himself.
“Pascal came to me with this idea, and I was floored,” Carlisle told reporters. “He wanted to use this moment, this contract, to do something bigger than himself. After several conversations, we made the decision together — the entire bonus will be donated.”
