The Portland Trail Blazers have converted Sidy Cissoko’s two-way contract into a standard two-year deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. With injuries affecting the team’s rotation, Cissoko has capitalized on his chances, showing promise and earning a more permanent spot on the roster. His performances in these games apparently convinced the Blazers to keep him beyond the initial two-way agreement.

Sidy Cissoko, previously sidelined due to illness, is set to be available for Portland’s matchup against the Heat on Thursday. Although he has been in the starting lineup for the last seven games, the return of key players like Deni Avdija, Jrue Holiday, and Jerami Grant could potentially push him to a bench role if the team decides to alter the starting lineup.
