Mavericks Retain Center Mousa Cissé After Matching Knicks Offer

Mousa Cissé spent last season on a two‑way contract with Dallas, seeing limited minutes on the court. The Mavericks chose to match the New York Knicks' offer sheet, aiming to preserve his development and defensive contributions.

The new deal converts his status to a league‑minimum standard contract, granting him greater financial stability. Dallas views the move as an investment in depth and young interior talent.
