Pascal Siakam seemed to be invoking a higher power, or so fans believe, during the Indiana Pacers' huddle prior to Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Clips and images of the Cameroonian star have since gone viral on social media, with supporters convinced that the Pacers will succeed in arranging a Game 7.

In the Pacers' huddle on Thursday, Siakam was observed abruptly closing his eyes and gazing upward. He whispered a few words before rejoining the team in what is a crucial elimination game for them.

Reacting to the video, one fan tweeted: “Pascal Siakam conjuring evil spirits to win this game, there’s no way Pacers don’t win this…”

“Pascal Siakam just turned into a demon,” a second one posted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. 

“PASCAL SIAKAM GOT POSSESSED ” a third fan noted. 

At halftime, Indiana led OKC 60-42. 

Meanwhile, to start off, the Pacers got good news a couple of hours before Game 6 when guard Tyrese Haliburton — who is battling a strained calf that flared up in Game 5 — was cleared to play.

“We got a job to do tonight,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. “We’ve got to get ready to battle a team that has been the best team in the league all year long. It’s a tough game. It’s an elimination game. There’s a lot going on.”

Thursday is also the 25th anniversary of the end of Indiana's last appearance in the NBA Finals. On June 19, 2000, O'Neal finished off that MVP Finals/MVP-scoring champion/league-champion season when he and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Pacers in Game 6.

If the Pacers avoid that fate Thursday and force a Game 7, it will be Sunday in Oklahoma City.
