Mavericks To Guarantee Moussa Cisse’s 2026/27 Salary

The Dallas Mavericks are set to keep center Moussa Cisse past the October 1 deadline, guaranteeing his full $2,185,116 salary for the 2026/27 NBA season, according to Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. Cisse's deal previously became partially guaranteed for $1,092,558 after he remained on the team's roster through September 1.

During the summer, the 24-year-old restricted free agent signed a two-year, minimum-salary offer sheet with the New York Knicks, which Dallas matched. Cisse went undrafted in 2025 before spending his rookie campaign on a two-way contract with the Mavericks, where he averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across 38 games.
