Lakers eye Moussa Cisse as potential center option

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring Moussa Cisse, currently with the Dallas Mavericks, as they seek to address their center depth. NBA insider Marc Stein mentioned that Cisse could be waived soon, making him a viable target for the Lakers. Cisse, who went undrafted in 2025, averaged 4.5 points and 5.7 rebounds in 13.9 minutes last season. He stands at 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, and his skills could complement Luka Doncic’s playing style. The Lakers have discussed potential trades involving backup centers but are focused on options that primarily contribute defensively and in transition.
