Sidy Cissoko provided a boost off the bench on Wednesday with 14 points (4-of-7 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and one 3-pointer against the Thunder.
Cissoko has barely played for most of the season, but he has taken on a larger role over their last two games. He has scored in double figures in both and set career-highs for points, rebounds and assists in this one while also hitting the first 3-pointer of his career. Cissoko should continue to play a large role off the bench during their final two games of the season, which will be a great opportunity for him to log NBA minutes. It’s unlikely that he turns into a standard league option next year, but he has the upside to make an impact in a few years.
