Cissoko is in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Cissoko will make his 13th start of the season Wednesday due to the absence of Kris Murray (back). Over his last five outings (two starts), Cissoko has averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.6 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over 23.0 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Pops for 19 in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Cissoko closed with 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-95 loss to the Thunder.
Making his second straight start with both Jerami Grant (Achilles) and Matisse Thybulle (thumb) still missing from the Portland frontcourt, Cissoko led the team in scoring while setting a new career high in made three-pointers in a game. The third-year forward is seeing a consistent role in an NBA rotation for the first time, and through 14 contests (six starts) in December, he averaged 7.5 points, 2.4 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 combined steals and blocks in 23.9 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Shifting to bench
Rotowire
Cissoko will come off the bench Thursday night against New Orleans.
Cissoko will retreat to a bench role for the first time since Nov. 18 after making 10 straight starts for the Blazers. However, there may still be plenty of chances for Cissoko with Portland shorthanded in the frontcourt Thursday.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Muted output in loss
Rotowire
Cissoko contributed five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 loss to the Thunder.
Despite starting in his sixth consecutive game, Cissoko has turned in yet another relatively unproductive stat line. Cissoko is averaging 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks when he starts, but he will look to bounce back offensively Tuesday against the Raptors.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Making first career start
Rotowire
Cissoko is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Cissoko will start for the first time in his three-year NBA career. The 21-year-old has logged double-digit minutes in six straight games, and he logged eight points, five assists and two steals across 28 minutes in his most recent outing.
Cissoko posted eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Suns.
Cissoko was likely in for a longer period of time due to the blowout nature of the game, and he is not expected to see anywhere near 28 minutes consistently in the future unless injury or blowouts occur. In his last eight games, Cissoko is averaging 3.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.5 steals across 14.5 minutes.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Cissoko totaled five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 14 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to the Lakers.
With Blake Wesley suffering a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot, Cissoko is the next man up for Portland, at least while Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is out. Cissoko has just 36 career regular-season games under his belt, but he made a strong impression on the coaching staff Monday and could be worth monitoring in very deep formats.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Records season highs in win
Rotowire
Cissoko closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 victory over the Lakers.
Cissoko recorded season-high marks in points and minutes during the regular-season finale. The 21-year-old had a rollercoaster season, being traded twice before eventually being waived and signing a two-year, two-way contract with Portland. Cissoko appeared in 22 regular-season games between Portland and San Antonio this season, averaging 1.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists across 5.2 minutes per contest.
Cissoko (ankle) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 103-86 loss to the Warriors. He also turned the ball over six times.
Cissoko has recently been managing a left ankle sprain that has kept him from playing at the NBA level and in the G League since March 15. Still, he was included in the rotation Friday on a night in which the Trail Blazers held out eight players due to injury. Portland will likely prioritize draft lottery positioning above all else in its season finale Sunday against the Lakers, so expect bottom-of-the-roster players like Cissoko to see healthy workloads once again. Based on his performance Friday, however, Cissoko is difficult to trust as a streaming option.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Inks two-way deal with Portland
Rotowire
Cissoko has reportedly signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Cissoko was recently traded to the Kings in the blockbuster deal involving De'Aaron Fox landing with the Spurs. The 20-year-old was then rerouted to the Wizards and waived. He'll now join the Trail Blazers on a two-way deal. He averaged 1.3 points in 3.2 minutes in 17 games for San Antonio.

Wizards' Sidy Cissoko: Traded to Washington
Rotowire
The Kings traded Cissoko and two second-round picks to the Wizards in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Cissoko was acquired by the Kings from San Antonio on Sunday in a three-team trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio and Zach LaVine to Sacramento, and now he's been flipped to Washington. The 44th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Cissoko lands in a pretty decent spot, as he could have a chance to earn some rotation minutes on the rebuilding Wizards. Through two seasons, Cissoko has just 29 NBA appearances under his belt.

Kings' Sidy Cissoko: Off injury report for Wednesday
Rotowire
Cissoko (recently traded) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
The 20-year-old swingman was acquired by the Kings on Sunday in a three-team trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio and Zach LaVine (personal) to Sacramento. LaVine and Cissoko are both off the injury report and should be available to make their debuts for the Kings on Wednesday. The second-year pro received the majority of his playing time with the Spurs in the G League and is unlikely to play significant minutes with the Kings.

Spurs' Sidy Cissoko: Available against Milwaukee
Rotowire
Cissoko (concussion) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Bucks.
After missing Wednesday's loss to the Clippers due to a concussion, Cissoko will return to the floor Friday for the Spurs. The former second-round pick has played in 16 games for San Antonio this season and has made little impact in 3.2 minutes per game, averaging 1.4 points per contest, which means he doesn't have much fantasy value.

Spurs' Sidy Cissoko: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Cissoko (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Cissoko is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest while in the league's concussion protocol. The 20-year-old has received little playing time at the NBA level, and his potential absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Spurs' Sidy Cissoko: Won't suit up Wednesday
Rotowire
Cissoko has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers after entering the NBA's concussion protocol.
Cissoko played just two minutes in the Spurs' most recent game this past Saturday against the Pacers in France, but he may have taken a hit to the head at some point during his brief time on the court. His absence shouldn't open up any extra minutes for other players, as Cissoko hasn't been featured in the San Antonio rotation this season.
