The Dallas Mavericks are burning through Moussa Cisse's two-way contract. As it's an NBA rule, players on two-way contracts are only allowed to suit up for 50 regular-season games, and this can include riding the bench through the entirety of the game, which is something Cisse knows all too well.
Not only do the Mavericks need to slow down Cisse's appearances with the team, as they have already used 32 of his 50 games, but over the past few weeks, Jason Kidd hasn't been shy about not playing the seven-footer despite him suiting up. This, in result, not only eats through Cisse's two-way availability, but for a team that could trade one of two centers at the trade deadline in Daniel Gafford and Anthony Davis, it's a very real possibility they might need a player of Cisse's magnitude by the end of the season.
