Sidy Cissoko Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Trail Blazers vs Pelicans game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 7, 2025
Quiet again in defeat
Cissoko racked up six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Sunday was another pedestrian effort by Cissoko, who's been unable to turn heads since joining the starting lineup in November. The forward is averaging just 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes per game across his last 10 contests, so fantasy managers can likely find more appealing streaming options on most waiver wires.
Dec 1, 2025
Muted output in loss
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.
ANALYSIS
Despite starting in his sixth consecutive game, Cissoko has turned in yet another relatively unproductive statline. 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.
Nov 20, 2025
Logs 22 minutes in start
Cissoko supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko moved into the starting lineup as Portland continues to search for answers at the guard position. With that said, it has been Deni Avdija who has shouldered the bulk of the responsibility, not the replacement guards. There is no reason to consider Cissoko a pickup in standard formats at this point.
Nov 19, 2025
Making first career start
Cissoko is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 19, 2025
Scores season-high eight points
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.
ANALYSIS
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 another blowout occurs. 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.
Nov 4, 2025
Fares well off bench
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 13, 2025
Three swipes in SL loss
Cissoko racked up 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday's Summer League 96-86 loss against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko got it done on both ends of the floor Saturday, as he was one of two players to crack the 18-point mark while also recording a game-high three steals. The 20-year-old guard played in five regular-season games for Portland during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 2.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 12 minutes per game.
Apr 14, 2025
Records season highs in win
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Apr 12, 2025
Cracks rotation Friday
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.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko has recently been managing a left ankle sprain that had kept him from playing at the NBA level and in the G League since March 15, but he was included in the rotation Friday on a night in which the Trail Blazers held out eight players due to injury. Portland is likely to 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.
Apr 6, 2025
Available Sunday
Cissoko (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko hasn't played for the Trail Blazers since March 7, though he'll shake off a questionable tag Sunday due to a sprained left ankle. The two-way player isn't likely to carve out a significant role in the Portland rotation during the last four outings of the regular season.
Apr 5, 2025
Listed questionable for Sunday
Cissoko (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko hasn't played since March 15, and that appearance came in the G League with the Rip City Remix. He's not expected to be a factor in the rotation in the final days of the regular season.
Apr 4, 2025
Won't play Friday
Cissoko (ankle) won't play Friday against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Cissoko has been downgraded from doubtful to out. He hasn't played since March 15 due to a left ankle sprain.
Apr 4, 2025
Unlikely to play Friday
Cissoko (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko hasn't played since March 15 due to a left ankle sprain. However, Cissoko has received inconsistent playing time this season for the Trail Blazers even when available.
Apr 2, 2025
Out Thursday with ankle sprain
The Trail Blazers list Cissoko as out for Thursday's game at Toronto due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
A two-way player, Cissoko hasn't seen action for the Trail Blazers or the G League's Rip City Remix since March 15 due to the injury. His absence Thursday shouldn't affect the Portland rotation.
Feb 8, 2025
Inks two-way deal with Portland
Cissoko has reportedly signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 6, 2025
Let go by Washington
The Wizards waived Cissoko on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko was traded from the Spurs to the Kings and then re-routed to the Wizards ahead of the trade deadline. However, the 20-year-old guard will now become a free agent. Across 17 NBA appearances in 2024-25, Cissoko averaged 1.3 points in 3.2 minutes.
Feb 5, 2025
Traded to Washington
The Kings traded Cissoko and two second-round picks to the Wizards in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 4, 2025
Off injury report for Wednesday
Cissoko is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
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 in the G League before the trade and is unlikely to pick up significant playing time with Sacramento.
Feb 2, 2025
Dealt to Kings
Cissoko was traded to the Kings in a multi-team deal surrounding De'Aaron Fox and Zach LaVine (personal), Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
In a three-team trade involving Chicago, Sacramento and San Antonio the Kings will get Cissoko, Zach LaVine (personal), three first-round picks and three second-round picks, the Spurs will receive Jordan McLaughlin and De'Aaron Fox and the Bulls will get back Zach Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter and their own 2025 first-round pick back from San Antonio. Cissoko has bounced between the Spurs and their G League affiliate this season, appearing in just 17 games for 3.2 minutes per contest for the parent squad. The second-year pro faces an uphill battle to any playing time with his new team.
Jan 31, 2025
Available against Milwaukee
Cissoko (concussion) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
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 whatsoever.
Jan 30, 2025
Questionable for Friday vs. MIL
Cissoko (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 28, 2025
Won't suit up Wednesday
Cissoko (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko will miss Wednesday's contest while in the league's concussion protocol. His next chance to feature will come Friday against the Bucks.
Jan 18, 2025
Sent back to G League
The Spurs assigned Cissoko to the G Leauge's Austin Spurs on Friday
ANALYSIS
Cissoko hasn't made an NBA appearance since Dec. 31. However, the 20--20-year-old forward should continue to receive increased playing time while in the G League.
Jan 16, 2025
Rejoins parent club
The Spurs recalled Cissoko from the G League's Austin Spurs on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old is unlikely to receive significant playing time while he's up with San Antonio, as he has yet to play double-digit minutes in any of his 13 appearances at the NBA level this season.
Dec 31, 2024
Rejoins parent club
San Antonio recalled Cissoko from the G League's Austin Spurs on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko should be available off the bench for the Spurs' next game Tuesday versus the Clippers, but he's unlikely to be featured in interim head coach Mitch Johnson's rotation.
Dec 7, 2024
Rare appearance in loss
Cissoko provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) and two rebounds in four minutes during Friday's 140-113 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko suited up for just the third time in the past nine games, continuing what has been an underwhelming campaign to this point. All of his playing time has come in the final quarter of games, typically utilized during garbage time. Based on what we have seen, there is no reason to think Cissoko will be moving up in the rotation any time soon.
Nov 30, 2024
Recalled by Spurs
Cissoko was recalled by the Spurs on Saturday, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko is fresh offf a 20-point performance across 29 minutes in Austin's 114-104 win over the Texas Legends on Friday night. He has averaged just 2.9 minutes across eight NBA appearances this season, so he is not expected to have much of an impact in the Spurs' backcourt. Nonetheless, the guard will be available for Sunday's game in Sacramento.
Nov 29, 2024
Headed back to G League
The Spurs assigned Cissoko to the Austin Spurs of the G League on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko is averaging 2.9 minutes in eight NBA appearances this season. The 20-year-old guard should receive increased playing time in the G League.
Nov 19, 2024
Recalled to NBA
San Antonio recalled Cissoko from the G League's Austin Spurs on Monday.
ANALYSIS
San Antonio will likely be without Victor Wembanyama (knee) for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, so Cissoko will be available to provide some emergency depth off the bench, though he's not expected to be part of the rotation.
Oct 29, 2024
Recalled from G League
The Spurs recalled Cissoko from the G League on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko has yet to make an appearance at the NBA level this season, and he remains firmly off the standard-league fantasy radar.
Oct 18, 2024
Scores 15 points Thursday
Cissoko posted 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds across 23 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 129-107 preseason loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko was one of three Spurs who scored at least 15 points, with Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham being the others, and he turned a few heads with his play in this preseason finale. However, this might not be enough to give him a steady role in the rotation, especially on a crowded backcourt, meaning Cissoko will probably open the season in the G League with the Austin Spurs.
Sep 28, 2024
Listed in Spurs roster
Cissoko (undisclosed) is listed in the Spurs roster ahead of training camp for the 2024-25 season.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko made 12 regular-season appearances as a rookie, averaging 3.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game. His chances of competing for a role in the rotation in 2024-25 are slim, but if he doesn't crack the roster, then he should have a prominent role for the Austin Spurs in the G League.
Jul 21, 2024
Not on Sunday's active roster
Cissoko isn't listed on the active roster for Sunday's Summer League finale against the Raptors for an undisclosed reason, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear why Cissoko was left off the active roster for Sunday, but it appears as though his Summer League action is done for this year. Over four appearances in the Las Vegas Summer League, he averaged 7.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game.
Jul 2, 2024
Ready for SL after minor surgery
Cissoko underwent a minor knee surgery following the 2023-24 campaign but is expected to play for the Spurs during Summer League action, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko dealt with a lingering knee issue for most of last season, so hopefully the surgery will have him feeling better ahead of 2024-25. The 2023 second-round pick out of France made 12 NBA appearances as a rookie, averaging 3.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game.
Apr 10, 2024
Sets multiple career highs
Cissoko closed Tuesday's 102-87 win over the Grizzlies with 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko set multiple career highs and eclipsed 20 minutes for the first time Tuesday. With the regular season winding down, the Spurs could continue to give the rookie more opportunities to showcase his talents.
Mar 31, 2024
Recalled by San Antonio
San Antonio recalled Cissoko from the G League's Austin Spurs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko receives an NBA call up a day after the finale of the G League regular season. The Austin Spurs just missed the G League playoffs with a 20-14 record. Cissoko hasn't logged NBA action since Dec. 31.
Mar 27, 2024
Recalled to NBA
San Antonio recalled Cissoko from the G League's Austin Spurs on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
With Keldon Johnson (knee) listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Cissoko is being called up to provide additional depth on the wing.
Mar 18, 2024

Mar 15, 2024
Recalled to San Antonio
San Antonio recalled Cissoko from the G League's Austin Spurs on Friday, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
ANALYSIS

Feb 29, 2024
Recalled by San Antonio

Feb 16, 2024

Headed to G League

Jan 21, 2024
Out again Monday
Cissoko (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Jan 20, 2024

Jan 14, 2024

ANALYSIS
Since returning from a stint in the G League on Jan. 7, Cissoko will now miss his fifth game in a row due to the left ankle sprain. The rookie second-round pick is unlikely to be included in San Antonio's rotation whenever he returns to full health.
Jan 13, 2024

ANALYSIS

Jan 9, 2024
Will remain sidelined Wednesday
Cissoko (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko will miss a second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. When healthy, he'll presumably return to the G League, so his absence shouldn't impact San Antonio's rotation.
Jan 7, 2024
Won't be available Sunday
Cissoko (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko was recalled by San Antonio on Saturday, but he'll remain sidelined due to a lingering ankle injury. It's unclear how much time he'll miss, but Cissoko will presumably return to action in the G League whenever he's cleared to suit up again.
Jan 7, 2024
Called up Saturday
San Antonio recalled Cissoko (ankle) from the G League's Austin Spurs on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko being elevated to the NBA roster is likely a good sign for the health/severity of his ankle injury. He has averaged 6.4 minutes across five appearances with San Antonio this season.
Dec 31, 2023
Called up Sunday
Cissoko was promoted to San Antonio on Sunday morning, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko theoretically brings some physicality with Zach Collins (ankle) ruled out and Keldon Johnson (back) appearing on Sunday's injury report. However, Cissoko has logged just 23 minutes of NBA action across four appearances this season. He's unlikely to play a relevant role against Boston unless serious garbage time comes into play.
Nov 20, 2023
Back with parent club
Cissoko was recalled from the G League's Austin Spurs on Sunday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 16, 2023
Recalled by San Antonio

ANALYSIS
Cissoko spent the last week and a half with the G League's Austin Spurs and averaged 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 26.7 minutes per game over three appearances. However, he's unlikely to see much of a role with the parent club.
Nov 5, 2023
Promoted Sunday
Cissoko has been called up for Sunday's game against Toronto, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko will join the Spurs from San Antonio's G League affiliate with Devin Vassell (groin) inactive Sunday. Sunday will represent Cissoko's NBA debut if he takes the court.
Oct 9, 2023
Will start season in G League
Cissoko will start the 2023-24 campaign in the G League with the Austin Spurs, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cissoko played for the G League Ignite last season and impressed enough to get drafted by the Spurs in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft. However, the 19-year-old is still a raw prospect and will need to continue to develop at the G League level. "He needs to play," head coach Greg Popovich said Monday, and it's unlikely Cissoko will be able to carve out minutes for a new-look Spurs squad that is hoping to compete for a playoff spot this year.
Jul 28, 2023
Inks three-year deal with San Antonio
Cissoko signed a three-year, $5.23 million contract with the Spurs on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Though the Spurs have an open two-way spot available with rookie wing Sir'Jabari Rice and big man Dominick Barlow occupying two of the three slots, Cissoko, a rookie second-round pick, will be part of the 15-man roster on a standard NBA contract. The 6-foot-7, 225-pound wing spent the 2022-23 season with the NBA G League Ignite, appearing in 28 regular-season contests and averaging 12.8 points, 3.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game. Since he's not a lock to be included in San Antonio's regular rotation, Cissoko could end up spending significant time with the G League's Austin Spurs during his first NBA campaign.
