BASKETBALL

The Toronto Raptors say forward Pascal Siakam is doubtful for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers because of a right calf contusion.

Siakam has been Toronto’s second-leading scorer in the playoffs behind Kawhi Leonard, averaging 22.9 points per game. He played 34 minutes and scored 20 points Thursday in Toronto’s Game 3 loss.

Siakam was called for a flagrant foul when he stuck his right leg in the path of Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter of Game 3. Embiid’s knee appeared to strike Siakam’s calf, and Siakam left the game moments later.
