Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam accidentally kicked Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis in the face during Game 3 of Monday's NBA Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series. It happened in the first period as the Celtics set up on offense holding an early 14-5 lead. Siakam jumped in the air thinking that Celtics point guard Brad Wanamaker was going to shoot, but instead he dished to Theis, who was behind Siakam. Siakam attempted to adjust his position mid-air but lost his balance, and his foot flew up in the air and hit Theis in the side of the face. The play was stopped as Siakam was called for the foul. Siakam immediately checked on Theis and they shook hands. Theis appeared to be OK after the play.
