Indiana Pacers forward Jordan Nwora is heading to the Toronto Raptors as part of the three-team trade that is centered around All-Star forward Pascal Siakam moving to Indiana, with Toronto also netting Bruce Brown and three first-round picks in the deal. Nwora stepped up down the stretch of the 2022-23 campaign for the Pacers, tallying double figures in scoring in 19 of his final 21 games of the year. The momentum hasn't carried into 2023-24, however, as Nwora has been buried in a reserve role on Indiana's deep depth chart while averaging 5.2 points and 0.6 triples on a career-low 30.6% clip from long range in 10.2 minutes covering 18 appearances. The 25-year-old's defensive shortcomings might make it difficult for him to carve out a consistent role in Toronto's rotation, but he will have a far greater chance of doing so with the Raptors than he did in Indy. Keep an eye on him for fantasy purposes.
