Sidy Cissoko shines in best game of the season against the Grizzlies

NBA – Frenchwoman Sidy Cissoko had her best game of the season against the Grizzlies with 10 points in 21 minutes.

The G-League season is over for the Austin Spurs, Sidy Cissoko took his place at the end of the San Antonio bench. The opportunity to make a few appearances against the Nuggets and the Pelicans, but they were only brief appearances.

And then, last night, in Memphis, the youngest player on the squad was entitled to 21 minutes and he had his best game of the season: 10 points on 4/6 shooting, with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 interception. These 21 minutes are as many as in his last four matches combined between December 27 and April 6.

“Coach Pop always says you have to make a good impression the first time: you either bring energy or you’re going to stay on the bench” says the Frenchman, who found himself on the field in the first quarter. The Spurs had taken the game from the wrong end with 9 points scored in six minutes, and Gregg Popovich needed a spark to wake up the team. It will come from his winger, chosen in the second round of the Draft.

Four baskets, four dunks!

Because he missed a layup against the Nuggets, Sidy Cissoko warned that if he had the chance again, he would go for the dunk. This is what he will do on a Zach Collins caviar with a beautiful “poster” with both hands. On the next possession, he starts from the 3-point line, grabs the offensive rebound and dunks in stride.

“He brings something new to the field,”

notes Victor Wembanyama. “The energy he has, the things he does. He does everything you can ask of a player who doesn’t play much. »

The former member of Team Ignite will add two new dunks, one before halftime on a new pass from Zach Collins, then at the end of the 3rd on a caviar from Julian Champagnie.

As Gregg Popovich plans to rotate this evening against OKC, Sidy Cissoko could benefit from significant playing time again. As long as you bring energy obviously.
