Out two games
The Hawks announced Friday that Risacher (thigh) will miss Atlanta's next two games. This is a tough blow for the 2024 No. 1 overall pick, and it means he'll miss Saturday's game against Boston and Monday's game against the Knicks. He'll be re-evaluated prior to Wednesday's game against Detroit, and he can be considered questionable for that contest for the time being. Fortunately for Atlanta, De'Andre Hunter (foot) is expected to return from a two-game absence Saturday.
Out again Saturday
Risacher (adductor) is out for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Risacher will miss consecutive games Saturday due to left adductor irritation, and he can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Monday's matchup with the Knicks. In the 2024 No. 1 overall pick's absence against Boston, David Roddy appears primed to make his third start of the campaign after joining Atlanta's first unit in Wednesday's win over Chicago.
Won't play Wednesday
Risacher won't play Wednesday against the Bulls due to left adductor irritation, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. This is a new injury for Risacher, and it could explain his struggles Tuesday against the Suns -- he finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and four rebounds over 17 minutes. With the Hawks extremely shorthanded Wednesday, David Roddy could step into a larger role.
Muted performance in win
Risacher ended Tuesday's 122-117 win over the Suns with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and four rebounds over 17 minutes. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft had a night to forget as he posted a season-low two points. He's off to a cold start in January, as he's shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from beyond the arc over his last six games with averages of 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.7 three-pointers.
Struggles in loss
Risacher finished Thursday's 123-115 loss to Phoenix with five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes. Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) injury is a major issue for Atlanta's effectiveness, going 1-2 since his exit. Risacher and Vit Krejci have been used most often to fill the gap, but neither player has been particularly effective.
Plays well in win
Risacher accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 win over the Raptors. This was one of Risacher's better performances in what has been a tough month for the rookie. In 12 December outings, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft hit 38.4 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.
Held to five points
Risacher supplied five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one assist in 19 minutes during Monday's 117-104 win over the Timberwolves. This was another tough showing for the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He's been held to single-digit points in four of his last five games, averaging 5.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes during that span.
Scores season-low two points
Risacher supplied two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 victory over the Knicks. Risacher tallied a season-low two points, continuing his modest production of late. Despite being a consistent member of the starting unit, Risacher has struggled to deliver noteworthy numbers, averaging just 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per game over the past month. Although his role appears relatively safe, it's hard to see him playing more than about 25 minutes per game, barring injuries to other players.
Solid output in win
Risacher totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 victory over the Hornets. Risacher scored in double figures for the third time in as many games, and he also contributed on the defensive end. The 19-year-old was hitting 39.8 percent of his tries from the field through his first 11 appearances of the month, but he's come alive of late, knocking down 20 of 40 attempts over his last five appearances. Risacher appears to be figuring out how to consistently produce after struggling at times through the first month of his NBA career.
