The Wizards announced (on Thursday) that will waive Cissoko.
Via Josh Robbins of The Athletic: “The Wizards have waived Sidy Cissoko, the team announced. Waiving Cissoko opens a roster spot. What could that roster spot be used for? It could be used to take on an incoming player’s salary (and a pick or picks attached to it) into their existing $12.4 million trade exception.”

Cissoko was the 44th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
His career averages are 2.3 points and 1.1 rebounds per contest while shooting 49.0% from the field and 21.1% from the three-point range in 29 games.
Via Greg Finberg of Bullets Forever: “The Wizards have waived Sidy Cissoko, per @WizPRStats
It’s possible that Cissoko is brought back on a G League / two-way deal with the GoGo.
Wizards did this last offseason when they declined the option on Tristan Vukcevic before bringing him back on a two-way deal.”
