Headed to bench Risacher will come off the bench for Sunday's game versus the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact This will be Risacher's first time coming off the bench this season, and just his second time operating as a reserve since the second game of his NBA career. 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.

Will play Wednesday Risacher (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

The second-year forward has appeared in each of the Hawks' last five outings, averaging 7.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.6 minutes per contest over that stretch.

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.

Plays 22 minutes in return Risacher registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Saturday's 129-124 loss to Indiana.

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). Risacher's minutes should steadily climb as he works his way back to NBA-level conditioning.

Good to go Saturday Risacher (knee) is available to play Saturday against the Pacers.

Impact The second-year forward is all set to return from an 11-game absence. He's just a lukewarm pickup in fantasy hoops due to his limited upside, and he's likely to face restrictions in his first game back.
