PHILADELPHIA – Toronto Raptors striker Pascal Siakam, who is battling a right-leg contusion, plays in the fourth game of the conference semifinal between the Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

Raptors coach Nick Nurse said Siakam was a game decision. He tested the injury during pre-game warm-ups.

"Obviously, we had a team meeting this morning," said the nurse. "He said it was not worse than that – it's a good start."

Siakam injured the calf in the Philadelphia Raptors' 116-95 loss in Game 3 on Thursday. He did not dress for raptor training on Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center.

In eight games in Toronto this season, Siakam averaged 22.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists, with a winning percentage of 56.9.

Toronto follows the series 2-1.
