Iffy for Wednesday
Cisse (G League - two-way) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analyse
Cisse is no longer listed on the Mavericks' injury report with an illness, but he's not a lock to suit up Wednesday. He's on a two-way contract and has already been active for 38 games this season, so Cisse can suit up just 12 more times for the NBA club before Dallas would need to convert him to a standard deal in order for him to be eligible to play. Even if Cisse gets the green light to play, Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell are still expected to see the bulk of the minutes at center.

Unlikely to return Sunday
Cisse (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
Cisse is trending toward missing a second consecutive game while battling through an illness. His absence Sunday would leave Dwight Powell as the lone backup big man behind Daniel Gafford. Cisse has averaged 7.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over 16.8 minutes per game over his last six outings.
24. Januar 2026
Officially out
Cisse (illness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
Cisse was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Saturday, so his absence was expected. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) healthy, the Mavericks will have enough bodies to man the center position. Cisse's next chance to play will come Sunday at Milwaukee.

Downgraded to doubtful
Cisse (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
Cisse was initially listed as questionable Friday, but the downgrade in status suggests it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up being ruled out. If Cisse ends up being out, the Mavs would have to rely on Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl as depth pieces at center with Dwight Powell expected to remain the starter.

Iffy for Saturday
Cisse (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
Cisse is still under the weather, though he was cleared to play in Thursday's win over Golden State. However, he logged just six minutes in that contest, and with Daniel Gafford (ankle) expected to return from a four-game absence, Cisse isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time.
22. Januar 2026
Available Thursday
Cisse (illness) has been cleared to play Friday night against the Warriors.
Analyse
Cisse carried a probable tag leading up to Thursday's matchup due to an illness, and he's officially been given the green light to take the court. He's averaging 8.2 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in his last five games, all off the bench.
22. Januar 2026
Probable for Thursday
Cisse (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analyse
Cisse was previously labeled as questionable, so he's trending in the right direction. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) now considered doubtful, Cisse is likely to absorb a handful of backup center minutes behind Dwight Powell on Thursday.
