Zaccharie Risacher News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Another muted performance Risacher amassed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 victory over the 76ers.

Impact The 2024 No. 1 overall pick continues to come along very slowly for the Hawks, as he's now scored in single digits in six of his last seven games. CJ McCollum recently replaced Risacher in the starting lineup, and the latter is continuing to trend down from a fantasy perspective. Over his last seven contests, Risacher has averaged 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.1 minutes per game while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field.

Back with first unit Risacher is starting Thursday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Risacher will return to the starting five after coming off the bench in his team's last two games. The former first-round pick out of France hasn't done much while running with the starters lately, as he's averaging 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 22.6 minutes over his last eight starts.

Available Thursday Risacher (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact The second-year forward will play through a right hip contusion, and he could see an increase in usage in the absence of Jalen Johnson (hip). Risacher has averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 23.7 minutes per game over his last seven outings.

Questionable for Thursday Risacher is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a right hip contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Jalen Johnson (hip) is also questionable for Thursday's game, and if both these guys are forced to the sidelines, Jonathan Kuminga could be asked to play big minutes in a starting role. Check back for another update on Risacher closer to Thursday's tip.

Logs 28 minutes Tuesday Risacher ended with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 victory over Washington.

Impact Risacher came off the bench once again, a role he has now assumed for two straight games. Despite the relegation, he was able to log 28 minutes, the most he has played since Jan 7. With Jalen Johnson forced from the game due to a hip issue, Risacher absorbed some of the additional playing time. While this trend could continue if Johnson is sidelined for any length of time, managers should be cautious when considering him, outside of deeper formats.

CJ McCollum will replace Risacher in the first unit for Sunday's game, and it'll be interesting to see if that holds for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards.
