Risacher (quadriceps) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Risacher will miss the Hawks' final Summer League contest -- his third consecutive absence -- due to a bruised right quad. The issue isn't expected to have any long term ramifications and it's likely that Risacher will be a full go for training camp.
Risacher (quadriceps) won't play in Friday's Summer League game versus the Bulls, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Risacher will miss his second straight Summer League outing while dealing with a right quad contusion. With the Hawks sitting at 0-3 in Las Vegas, the No. 1 pick is likely done for the Summer League. However, there is no indication that Risacher will miss any time once training camp rolls around.
Risacher won't play in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Lakers due to a right quad contusion, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports. The No. 1 overall pick participated in both of the Hawks first two Summer League games and is averaging 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks. However, Risacher will be held out of Wednesday's contest due to a bruised right quad. His next chance to play will come Friday against the Bulls.
Risacher recorded 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 79-76 loss to the Hawks in Summer League. Risacher posted a second consecutive double-digit scoring outing to kick off Summer League but struggled with efficiency. The first-overall pick has especially struggled from deep, shooting just 25.0 percent from three over his first two outings. Despite his struggle to kick off Summer League, he is a proven proficient three-point shooter, logging 45.0 percent from beyond the arc across 23 games during the EuroCup in 2023-24, so it will be surprising if his shooting woes continue for an extended period.
Risacher accumulated 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 29 minutes in Friday's 94-88 loss to the Wizards in the NBA 2K25 Summer League. Risacher produced a decent outing while displaying his ability to score in the Hawks' Summer League opener against No. 2 overall pick Alex Sarr. Risacher shot a game-high 16 attempts from the floor, and he led the Hawks' starting lineup in efficiency from the field at 43.8 percent. The 19-year-old has the potential to become an elite three-and-D player, and he already has professional experience from his time with the French club JL Bourg. During the EuroCup in 2023-24, Risacher averaged 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 45.0 percent from beyond the arc in 23 games.
