Impact Cissoko saw a streak of 10 consecutive appearances come to an end when he went unused off the bench in the Trail Blazers' two-point loss to the Hornets on Tuesday, but he was able to reclaim a spot in the rotation Friday while Robert Williams (knee) sat out. Cissoko fared well during his time on the court, but he may nonetheless find himself back outside of the rotation Sunday in Philadelphia if Williams is cleared to play.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Sunday Cissoko (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Cissoko has been dealing with an illness of late, but he will continue to suit up despite the ailment. It should be noted that Cissoko was limited to just seven minutes during Saturday's loss to the Hornets despite averaging 21.6 minutes per game this season, likely a result of the illness.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Sunday Cissoko (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Cissoko is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of this back-to-back set after recording zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and one assist over seven minutes during Friday's loss to the Hornets. If the 21-year-old forward joins Deni Avdija (back) and Robert Williams (knee) on the sidelines, Kris Murray, Matisse Thybulle and Jerami Grant are candidates to see increased minutes.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Cissoko (illness) will play Saturday against the Hornets.

Impact Cissoko will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. Over his last four games, he's averaging 16.2 minutes per contest with 2.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds.

Under the weather Cissoko (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Cissoko is in danger of missing his second game in February while battling through an illness. The third-year pro is averaging 21.8 minutes per game this season, and those minutes would likely be absorbed by Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray if Cissoko is unable to play.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Cissoko will come off the bench for Friday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact Deni Avdija (back) is set to return after a one-game absence, so Cissoko will retreat to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Cissoko has posted averages of 5.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Earns two-year deal The Trail Blazers signed Cissoko to a two-year contract Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Cissoko, who was previously on a two-way contract, quickly burned through his eligibility with some standout play on the defensive end. Across 50 appearances, he's played 22.3 minutes per contest with 6.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact With Deni Avdija (back) and Shaedon Sharpe (calf) sidelined, Cissoko will return to the starting five. As a starter this season (22 games), the two-way player has averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 24.9 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Tuesday Cissoko is not in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup against the Suns on Tuesday.

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).

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 15 points in starting role Cissoko supplied 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-111 loss to the Cavaliers.

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

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Rotating to bench Cissoko isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Heat.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Will play vs. Heat Cissoko (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Miami, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Cissoko was upgraded to probable a few hours before tipoff, and he's now been cleared to take the court despite dealing with an illness. He's drawn seven straight starts for the Blazers and is averaging 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.3 minutes during this stretch.

JANUARY 23 • 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.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Cissoko is feeling under the weather, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround. If he's not able to give it a go, Rayan Rupert might see an uptick in minutes.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Held to eight points in win Cissoko finished Sunday's 117-110 victory over the Kings with eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 34 minutes.

Impact Cissoko drew another start Sunday with Jerami Grant (Achilles) downgraded to out shortly before tipoff. However, Cissoko wasn't all that sharp and was the only starter to be held to single figures in the scoring column. He added some production on the defensive end but has otherwise struggled, averaging 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last seven games.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 22 minutes in start Cissoko ended with six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 win over Atlanta.

Impact Cissoko remained with the starters despite the return of Jerami Grant, as Deni Avdija (back) missed his second straight contest. Cissoko's fantasy appeal is limited to very deep leagues for the moment, as he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.7 minutes over his last eight outings.
