After a bit of uncertainty, Moussa Cisse is sticking around in Dallas for a while longer.<\/p>\n
The Knicks’ offer sheet to the restricted free agent was a two-year, $4.7 million deal with half the 2026-27 salary being guaranteed and the 2027-28 salary being non-guaranteed. The 6-foot-11 big man will now remain with the Mavericks on that same contract.<\/p>\n
Cisse drew interest from New York thanks to his productive rookie season. While he only suited up in 38 games for the Mavs last season due to his two-way contract status<\/a>, he averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per game. Cisse flashed plenty of potential<\/a> in that limited role, leading to outside interest that ultimately forced Dallas to match an offer sheet for the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n Instead of letting him get away to the Knicks, Mavericks will keep the talented young center as a piece in their rebuild around Cooper Flagg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a bit of uncertainty, Moussa Cisse is sticking around in Dallas for a while longer.
