Can't find shooting touch Thursday Risacher supplied zero points (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over the Jazz.

Impact With Jonathan Kuminga (knee) on the way into Atlanta, Risacher could be in jeopardy of losing out on some playing time at small forward. The Hawks appear to be bringing Risacher along slowly -- the 2024 No. 1 overall pick recently faced an 11-game absence with a knee bone bruise -- but he'll likely need to pick things back up quickly in order to keep his starting position. Risacher has failed to score in double digits in any of his last three games, shooting just 30.0 percent from the field during this stretch.

Impact Risacher was cleared to return Saturday from an 11-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise. He operated under a minutes restriction but still managed to finish as the Hawks' point-differential leader (plus-9).

Considered day-to-day Risacher (knee), who will not play Monday against the Pacers, has been upgraded to day-to-day, the Hawks announced.

Impact Risacher will miss his ninth game in a row against Indiana due to a left knee bone contusion, but he's trending in the right direction after a rehab assignment in the G League.
