Risacher will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Risacher will enter the starting lineup due to De'Andre Hunter (knee) being ruled out. The No. 1 overall pick has struggled to kick off his career, averaging 6.0 points on just 23.1 percent from the floor through two games, but he will now get an expanded opportunity.
