The Dallas Mavericks hosted the New Orleans Pelicans at American Airlines Center on Wednesday, hoping to notch their second win in the preseason.

The Mavericks were coming off a two-game series against the Houston Rockets in China. Dallas and Houston split their international face-off.

Against the Pelicans, Moussa Cisse suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter. He was ruled out for the rest of the contest, according to The Stein Line's Marc Stein.

“I'm told the Moussa Cisse ankle injury is not regarded as serious, but the Mavericks have opted to have him sit out tonight's second half as a precaution,” wrote Stein on X.

Cisse finished with eight points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and three blocks in 16 minutes.

He started the game with Max Christie, Naji Marshall, Zaccharie Risacher, and PJ Washington.
