Sidy Cissoko and Victor Wembanyama Shine in NBA Action

Sidy Cissoko scored 19 points on Thursday helping Portland defeat Oklahoma City 118-108 in an NBA matchup, according to L’Équipe.

Cissoko Shines in Second Start

Making his second start for the Trail Blazers, Cissoko delivered one of his strongest performances in the league. TrashTalk reported that he shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, contributing 19 points to go with his solid defense and floor spacing.

TrashTalk noted on November 12, 2026:

“Deux fois titulaires avec les Blazers : – 17 points / 3 rebonds / 3 passes– 19 points à 4/7 à trois points Il régale. Son potentiel se libère avec de la bonne défense, du bon placement, il bloque pas l’attaque et il complète très bien les piliers à Portland ! Hyper content pour Sidy, il a sa place !”

That production builds directly on his effort from the previous night, when he put up 17 points in his first start of the season against the same opponent.

Wembanyama Spurs Comeback

In Chicago, Victor Wembanyama posted 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks to fuel a San Antonio comeback in a 124-119 victory over the Bulls on November 12, 2026, as reported by L’Équipe.

TrashTalk detailed that the Spurs overcame a 22-point deficit to secure their tenth win. Wembanyama shot 13-of-18 from the field in 32 minutes of action.
