Even Nick Nurse admitted that the player hasn't bee the same since returning to the court.

"And then the pandemic hit, and the break has not treated him as well as maybe everybody else," he said, according to TSN.

"JUST BENCH SIAKAM ALREADY," wrote another. 

Multiple memes of the player's skills have also followed, with some users not holding back. 

"When you see they’re still letting Siakam on the court." wrote one user. 

Despite the memes, Nurse has stated that he hopes Game 7 is when Siakam will be able to get his groove back. 

Only time will tell if he will be able to pull it together at the end.
