Virtus Bologna targeting Raptors' Sergio Scariolo?

Sergio Scariolo is a strong candidate for Virtus Bologna head coaching job, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport and confirmed to Sportando. Sasha Djordjevic’s departure from Virtus Bologna was almost certain when Serie A playoffs started, also considering the elimination in EuroCup semifinals against Unics Kazan and the missed chance to play in EuroLeague next season.

Pascal Siakam likely to miss start of next season

The Toronto Raptors announced Friday that Pascal Siakam underwent successful surgery last week to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. The injury to Siakam’s shoulder occurred May 8 vs. Memphis. The expected recovery and rehabilitation time for this procedure is approximately five months, and his condition will be updated as appropriate.

Blake Murphy: That would mean Siakam is unlikely to be ready for the beginning of next season (Oct. 19) unless he’s ahead of schedule (~early Nov.).

Michael Grange: The good news on Siakam’s shoulder injury/surgery is he’ll be able to resume on-court work in July, I’m told. Initial hope was he could rehab the torn labrum in his left (non-shooting) shoulder, but eventually opted for an arthroscopic repair.

What does this have to do with the Warriors? Well, Siakam is somebody that has been discussed as a potential trade candidate. So on one hand, this injury makes you wonder if Golden State will be more reluctant to go after him. But on the flip side, perhaps the Warriors wouldn’t have to give up as much to acquire him. You can make a strong argument for both sides. Conventional wisdom suggests that Andrew Wiggins — who is from the Toronto area — almost certainly would be involved in any potential deal. But Wiggins just completed the best all-around season of his career, and there is reason to believe he will be even better once Klay Thompson returns.

Kellan Olson: When Chris Paul was trading notes with Kyle Lowry on his shoulder injury the biggest difference was that Lowry took 4-5 days off. CP3, obviously, did not. Still said it has helped to have another player to talk through it with.
