Mavericks match Knicks' offer for center Moussa Cissé

The Dallas Mavericks matched the New York Knicks' two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet for center Moussa Cissé, keeping the 23-year-old player in Dallas. This decision comes after the Knicks sought to strengthen their frontcourt following the departures of several players, including Ariel Hukporti. New York had identified Cissé as a promising addition due to his potential development under their roster. The Mavericks acted quickly, ensuring Cissé remained part of their team before the impending deadline for offer sheets.
