Portland’s Sidy Cissoko started in both games versus Oklahoma City, scoring 17 points in one win and 19 in the next.
The Story
The Portland Trail Blazers won consecutive games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and forward Sidy Cissoko produced in each matchup.
In the first Oklahoma City win, Cissoko scored 17 points on 5-for-14 shooting, including 3-for-10 from 3, and went 4-for-4 at the foul line. He also added three rebounds, three assists and a steal.
In the following Thunder win, Cissoko scored 19 points on 6-for-9 shooting, including 4-for-7 from 3, and made 3-of-4 free throws. He added two rebounds.
Cissoko, a 22-year-old, 6-foot-6 forward from France, was taken by the San Antonio Spurs with the No. 44 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
The Spurs traded Cissoko in February 2025 in the deal that sent Zach LaVine from the Bulls to the Kings and De’Aaron Fox from the Kings to the Spurs. Cissoko went to Sacramento but was moved two days later to the Washington Wizards in the Jonas Valanciunas trade.
Washington waived Cissoko, and Portland signed him to a two-way contract two days after the waiver. The Trail Blazers then converted that deal to a standard roster contract 12 days after that.
