Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Risacher is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to left knee inflammation.
Risacher was an extremely late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. The second-year forward will likely be a game-time call ahead of Friday's tipoff at 9:00 p.m. ET. If he isn't cleared to suit up, Vit Krejci and Luke Kennard could see increased playing time.
Risacher registered 25 points (8-13 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 win over the Pelicans.
Risacher delivered arguably his best performance of the season in the win over New Orleans, setting season highs in both points and rebounds. The 20-year-old forward also saw a season-high 34 minutes and knocked down a career-best seven three-pointers, topping his previous high of four set Nov. 25. It marked Risacher's first 20-point outing since Nov. 4. For the season, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick is averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 threes, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals across 24.6 minutes per game.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Fouls out in 22 minutes
Rotowire
Risacher registered 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 118-100 loss to the Raptors.
Risacher was having one of his better showings before his night ended early with six fouls. His fantasy appeal has been lacking in recent weeks, as he's averaging 9.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.4 three-pointers on 44.6 percent shooting from the field over his last eight games.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Chips in 12 points in win
Rotowire
Risacher supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Friday's 111-99 victory over the Knicks.
Risacher delivered a more efficient performance than he did during Wednesday's win over Minnesota, when he shot 40.0 percent from the field and finished with nine points. Still, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick has yet to take a step forward compared to his rookie season, and he has scored in single digits in three of his last five games. During that stretch, he has averaged 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 22.4 minutes per tilt.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Another dud Friday
Rotowire
Risacher registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two blocks across 20 minutes during Friday's 126-111 loss to the Heat.
Risacher continues to do very little with his starting job, scoring no more than 15 points for the 12th time in the past 13 games. He is now barely inside the top 200 this season, averaging 10.9 points and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes per game. At this point, he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues and deeper redraft formats.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Chips in 17 points Sunday
Rotowire
Risacher contributed 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 152-150 loss to Chicago.
Risacher was able to get in on the action amidst Sunday's free-flowing affair, but his contributions outside the scoring department remain rather disappointing. Over his last nine games, the second-year forward has averaged 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Makes impact as scorer Sunday
Rotowire
Risacher accumulated 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 victory over the 76ers.
The scoring output was strong, but Risacher continues to underwhelm as a whole and hasn't quite taken the leap some fantasy managers may have hoped for during his second season. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick doesn't appear to be in any danger of losing his starting role, but he's averaged just 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.6 minutes per contest in his last 12 games.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Modest production continues
Rotowire
Risacher ended Monday's 99-98 loss to the Pistons with four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and three steals across 22 minutes.
Risacher recorded another disappointing line, despite a season-high three steals. Although he has been a permanent fixture in the starting lineup, Risacher has been far from a must-roster player. In 24.7 minutes per game, he has averaged 11.4 points, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers, barely putting him inside the top 200 in standard fantasy formats.
Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Big defensive output in loss
Rotowire
Risacher totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards.
Risacher recorded season highs in threes made and blocks, but his efforts were not enough to stop Atlanta from losing in blowout fashion. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick broke out of his three-game shooting slump, averaging just 5.0 points on 26.9 percent from the field and 7.1 percent from three in that span prior to Tuesday, so this is an encouraging sign for Risacher moving forward.
Risacher (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
The second-year forward is set to return after missing Tuesday's game due to a left hip contusion, which he suffered on a hard fall Sunday. Before the injury, Risacher was heating up, posting 15.4 points a game. With Risacher back in the starting lineup, Luke Kennard and Asa Newell should see reduced roles.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Questionable with hip contusion
Rotowire
Risacher (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Risacher is dealing with a left hip contusion in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the Suns. Luke Kennard could enter the streaming mix if Risacher is sidelined, while Asa Newell and Caleb Houstan would both be candidates to join the Atlanta rotation.
Risacher exited Sunday's game against the Suns and did not return due to a left hip contusion.
Risacher took a hard fall on a dunk attempt and sustained a left hip injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, causing him to miss the remainder of the game. He concludes the game with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes. If he is forced to miss time, Vit Krejci will likely step into a larger role.

Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Fares well in easy win
Rotowire
Risacher racked up 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 win over the Kings.
This was a decent all-around line for the second-year forward. He's certainly not taking the fantasy landscape by storm, but he's nestled just inside the top-150 for standard nine-category formats. Through 10 games, he's averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest.
