Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Team option exercised
The Mavericks exercised their fourth-year team option on Risacher's contract Wednesday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
After being traded from Atlanta to Dallas this past offseason, Risacher is now officially under contract for the 2027-28 campaign. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick is averaging 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 assists while shooting 30.8 percent from the field through four regular-season games (one start) with the Mavericks.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Reverting to bench role Monday
Risacher won't start Monday's game against the Heat, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
With Cooper Flagg (shoulder) back from a one-game absence, Risacher will slide to the second unit. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick is averaging 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.7 assists and 1.7 blocks in 30.3 minutes per game across three regular-season appearances (one start) thus far.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Tallies 11 points in start
Risacher finished Saturday's 122-16 loss to San Antonio with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes.
Risacher and Naji Marshall were both moved into the Mavericks' starting five due to the absences of both Kyrie Irving (rest) and Cooper Flagg (shoulder). Risacher scored two points or fewer in three of four quarters but did give the Mavericks a spark in the third with nine points. Flagg is expected to miss a few more games while recovering from a mild left shoulder sprain, so Risacher should continue to operate in an elevated role for as long as the former is sidelined.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Starting Saturday
Risacher will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Spurs.
Kyrie Irving (rest) and Cooper Flagg (shoulder) are out, so Risacher will draw the start, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Max Christie, Naji Marshall, PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford. Risacher has been struggling with his shot through the first two games of the year, converting just 33.3 percent of his field goal attempts.

Risacher (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Risacher was initially listed as questionable due to hip soreness, though he was eventually upgraded to probable before being cleared to play shortly thereafter.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Trending toward playing Saturday
Risacher (hip) has been upgraded from questionable to probable ahead of Saturday's game against San Antonio.
Risacher was initially tagged as questionable due to right hip soreness, but the third-year pro is trending in the right direction of Saturday's contest. Cooper Flagg (shoulder) has already been ruled out, and with Kyrie Irving (knee) now doubtful, Risacher and the other Mavericks role players are in line for more responsibilities against the Spurs.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Questionable for Saturday
Risacher is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to right hip soreness.
A final call on Risacher's status will be made closer to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. The Frenchman has seen considerable playing time off the bench in the early days of the season, logging at least 27 minutes in his two appearances and averaging 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Records five steals in loss
Risacher ended Wednesday's 128-110 loss to Houston with four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and five steals over 27 minutes.
Risacher salvaged what was otherwise a disappointing performance, recording a career-high five steals. The jury is still out when it comes to Risacher's projected value, although most are beginning to lose patience. He will get an opportunity to turn things around in Dallas, but will need to offer more on the offensive end, should he wish to play a consistent role. Assuming the steals are more of an anomaly than a regular occurrence, he remains a stream-level player only at this point.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Not starting Wednesday
Risacher won't start in Wednesday's game against Houston.
Risacher will move back to the bench to begin the 2026-27 campaign. However, with Santi Aldama (knee), Dereck Lively (foot) and Caleb Martin (thumb) unavailable, Risacher should be on the floor more than not on Opening Night.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Strong finish to preseason
Risacher recorded 18 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Risacher bounced back from a slow start, scoring 14 of his 18 points after halftime while making all six of his second-half field-goal attempts. His efficient shooting and four assists were encouraging signs as he continues adjusting to Dallas' offense. Risacher's role alongside Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving will be worth monitoring once the regular season begins, but based on his preseason performances, all signs point to him opening the regular season against the Rockets on Oct. 21 in a starting role.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Loaded stat line Sunday
Risacher finished with 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 24 minutes in Sunday's 132-115 preseason win over the Rockets.
Risacher delivered a productive offensive showing, connecting on seven of his 13 field-goal attempts, and the young forward also chipped in defensively with a steal and a block, finishing with a plus-7 rating. His three turnovers were a minor blemish, but he otherwise displayed encouraging scoring versatility. Risacher's ability to contribute from the perimeter while providing secondary defensive production gives Dallas another wing option, as he looks to deliver a bounce-back year in 2026-27 after a subpar sophomore season in 2025-26. Risacher is competing for minutes on the wing, but this performance is certainly a step in the right direction.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Near double-double as starter
Risacher notched nine points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 135-117 preseason loss to the Rockets.
With the Mavericks shorthanded, new head coach Dusty May started Risacher, Cooper Flagg, Max Christie, Naji Marshall and rookie Morez Johnson during the preseason opener. After falling out of favor in Atlanta, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick is getting a fresh start in Dallas and making the most of his new opportunity. "I feel like we're going to be a good fit, especially on this team. We're going to play fast. We want to go," said Risacher. "We're going to play physical, and I feel like that's going to be a good fit. I like to play off-ball too, so I feel like just me being able to get to the right spot, get space, and finish those actions, that's going to be a big thing."

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Fitting in well with Mavs
Risacher is adjusting well to his new team and is looking forward to playing alongside Cooper Flagg, Grant Afseth of the Dallas Sports Journal reports.
Risacher has been adjusting well after being traded from the Hawks to the Mavericks in July, and he noted Thursday that he's confident his style will mesh well with Flagg. "I feel like we're going to be a good fit, especially in this team. We're going to play fast. We want to go," said Risacher. "We're going to play physical, and I feel like that's going to be a good fit. I like to play off-ball too, so I feel like just me being able to get to the right spot, get space, and finish those actions, that's going to be a big thing."

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Dealt to Dallas
Risacher was traded to the Mavericks on Sunday as part of a three-team deal that sent Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard (illness) to the Hawks and three second-round picks to the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After being selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher's tenure in Atlanta comes to an end as he'll head to Dallas. In 67 regular-season games (46 starts) with the Hawks during the 2025-26 campaign, the wing averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.4 minutes per contest. Risacher still has much to prove heading into his third NBA season and will likely slot into a reserve role with the Mavericks, competing with the likes of Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall and Santi Aldama for playing time.
