• Spurs' Sidy Cissoko: Inks three-year deal with San Antonio

  Rotowire Jul 28, 2023

  Cissoko signed a three-year, $5.23 million contract with the Spurs on Thursday. 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.

  Cissoko was selected with the No. 44 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft by San Antonio. Cissoko averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.3 minutes per game with the G League Ignite last season. He possesses elite athleticism, which is showcased in his defensive versatility and ability to get to the rim with consistency. Though he'll likely have to impress throughout Summer League and training camp in order to crack the rotation to start the 2023-24 campaign, the landing spot in San Antonio is perfect for a developmental player like Cissoko.
