Getting start vs. Jazz Cissoko is starting Thursday's game against Utah.

Impact Cissoko will receive an opportunity to run with the starters Thursday after being a healthy scratch Wednesday. The 21-year-old contributed across the board in his last start Saturday against the Grizzlies, finishing with seven points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Wednesday's loss Cissoko (two-way) was a healthy inactive Wednesday in the Trail Blazers' 133-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Cissoko has been a mainstay in the Portland rotation throughout the season, but because he's been active for 49 games this season, he's eligible to be active just one more time this season while he remains signed to a two-way contract. Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland posits that Portland likely opted to keep Cissoko inactive Wednesday in order to use his final game of eligibility in its matchup with the Jazz on Thursday, when players such as Deni Avdija, Robert Williams and Scoot Henderson could be candidates to rest in the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Trail Blazers would then likely upgrade Cissoko to a standard contract to ensure that he's available to play coming out of the All-Star break.

Back in bench role Cissoko isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Cissoko will retreat to the bench with Deni Avdija (back) cleared to play Monday evening. Cissoko has managed to provide a decent scoring boost in his previous three appearances as a reserve, averaging 12.0 points in 24.3 minutes per game.

Impact Cissoko is coming off a 15-point performance in Sunday's loss against the Cavaliers in what was his 22nd start of the season (and 10th start in the Trail Blazers' last 13 games). However, the third-year pro will come off the bench for Tuesday's game due to the return of Jrue Holiday (personal).

Impact The Trail Blazers put Cissoko back in the starting lineup after giving Deni Avdija (back) two opportunities to get back up to speed. Cissoko's role will decrease dramatically once Avdija is 100 percent, but Portland's All-Star forward will likely be hindered by a minute restriction or could sit entirely leading up to the break. Cissoko's continued production is entirely dependent on Avdija's status.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting lineup Cissoko will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Cissoko will enter the starting lineup due to Jrue Holiday (personal) and Deni Avdija (back) being out. With the team shorthanded, he could be in line for increased usage, considering he is coming off his highest scoring game of the new year and he has seen at least 25 minutes in each of his last four starts.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Cissoko (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game versus the Heat.

Impact It sounds like Cissoko is feeling better and will get out there for Thursday's game. However, with Jerami Grant (Achilles) and Jrue Holiday (calf) also expected to play, there will be fewer minutes available for Cissoko.

Questionable for Thursday Cissoko is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to an illness.

Impact Cissoko drew another start Sunday with Jerami Grant (Achilles) downgraded to out shortly before tipoff.

Impact The Trail Blazers adjusted their lineup for this game and Cissoko moved back to a bench role, but he responded by posting his best scoring output of the season. Cissoko has scored in double digits just three times in 2025-26, but he's worth a look in deeper formats as long as he's able to play around 25 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shifting to bench Cissoko will come off the bench Thursday night against New Orleans.

Impact Cissoko will retreat to a bench role for the first time since Nov. 18 after making 10 straight starts for the Blazers. However, there may still be plenty of chances for Cissoko with Portland short handed in the frontcourt Thursday.
