Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been named a starter in his first NBA All-Star Game.

Pascal Siakam's selection on Thursday marked the sixth consecutive year the Raptors have an all-star starter. They're the only NBA team during that time span that can say that.

On Saturday, the Raptors were rewarded for their historic NBA championship run by winning the team of the year award from The Canadian Press for 2019 in a slam dunk.

Toronto hosts the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

The Toronto Raptors silenced the Utah Jazz 130-110 en route to their seventh straight win while remaining undefeated in nine home games this season.

A special ceremony took place before the game, as players and all those involved with the team received their rings and watched the franchise’s first championship banner raised.

The Toronto Raptors will get the opportunity to celebrate the team's first-ever championship before they tip off to open the season Tuesday against the Pelicans.

The Raptors and Siakam have agreed on a four-year, $130 million maximum extension, reports say.

Siakam who had a breakout season last year spoke to Global News on Thursday night at the Right to Play gala where he was honoured with the Athlete Hero Award.

The King of the North has abdicated his throne and now the Toronto Raptors are left contemplating how they move on without Kawhi Leonard.
