Portland Trail Blazers Promote Sidy Cissoko to 15-Man Roster, Waive Rayan Rupert: Roster Move Details
The Portland Trail Blazers have made a roster move by promoting forward Sidy Cissoko to their 15-man roster and waiving Rayan Rupert. Cissoko, a 21-year-old Frenchman, has been a key contributor to the team this season, starting 24 games and averaging 22.3 minutes per game. He has shown his value with 6.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game, along with solid wing defense. The Blazers needed to convert Cissoko to a standard deal after he reached his two-way contract limit of 50 active games. This move will open up a two-way slot for the team, with the possibility of promoting another two-way standout, Caleb Love, in the future. Portland will have until March 4 to fill the vacant two-way slot.
