$Signed a three-year, $5.23 million contract with the Spurs in July of 2023.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Sidy Cissoko spent the 2022-23 season with the G League Ignite. He averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across 29.3 minutes per game while starting in his 28 appearances. The Frenchman also featured in the G League All-Star Game, scoring six points while adding two rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes. Cissoko also averaged 9.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game across 15 games (10 starts) in the Showcase Cup. His best game occurred against the Memphis Hustle on Feb. 24, where he finished with 24 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 30 minutes. Cissoko scored at least 20 points eight times, with six of those games coming since the beginning of February. Cissoko is a player who thrives on his instincts and elite athleticism to make plays, particularly on the defensive end. He's a 6-foot-7 wing who can defend multiple positions. Cissoko can handle both guards and forward with equal success, and he is big enough even to guard power forwards on small-ball lineups. Cissoko is not just a defender, though. His great measurables allow him to attack the rim easily, and while he isn't blinding quick, he's still a menace in transition. Cissoko is not a score-first player, but he can still make an impact on offense due to his excellent vision. Cissoko has the potential to be a first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but that doesn't mean he will carve a role right away. His Summer League showing could be pivotal to determining just how NBA-ready he is. Spending time in the G League suggests he's already tested at that level, but it wouldn't be shocking if he starts his NBA career playing in the G League once again. He figures to end up as a bench player in his first year in The Association, with the best-case scenario being a key reserve or impactful role player down the road.
Recalled to NBA
GSan Antonio Spurs
November 19, 2024
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.

Undisclosed
July 21, 2024
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 Subscribe now to instantly reveal our take on this news.
ANALYSIS Cissoko averaged 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 29.3 minutes per game for the G League Ignite last season. The 19-year-old is a burly guard-wing hybrid with raw shooting but solid playmaking and physical upside on both ends of the court. Critically, Vecenie notes that "the Spurs have worked magic with jumpers before, and Cissoko's inconsistent mechanics need it."
