**San Antonio, Texas** - The San Antonio Spurs have recalled forward Sidy Cissoko from their NBA G League affiliate, the Austin Spurs. The move comes after Cissoko's impressive start to the season with Austin, where he averaged 18.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in five games.
Cissoko, a 6'8" forward, was drafted by the Spurs with the 34th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He spent the majority of last season with Austin, averaging 14.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
The Spurs are hoping that Cissoko can provide them with some much-needed depth at the forward position. The team has been hit by injuries to several key players, including Keldon Johnson and Zach Collins.
Cissoko is expected to make his NBA debut when the Spurs host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. He will be looking to make an immediate impact on the team, and prove why the Spurs were so eager to get him back on the roster.
