Risacher will come off the bench for Sunday's game versus the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

This will be Risacher's first time coming off the bench this season, and just his second time operating as a reserve since the second game of his NBA career. CJ McCollum will replace Risacher in the first unit for Sunday's game, and it'll be interesting to see if that holds for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards.

McCollum will enter the Hawks' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

McCollum will start for the Hawks for the third time this season while Zaccharie Risacher comes off the bench. In his 18 outings with Atlanta, McCollum is averaging 19.0 points, 3.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 threes and 0.9 steals over 28.5 minutes per game.

The Kings signed Hayes to a 10-day contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Hayes has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Cleveland Charge after failing to make the Cavaliers' 15-man squad at the end of training camp in mid-October. In the G League, he is averaging 23.1 points, 8.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 threes and 1.7 steals over 31.8 minutes per game. Hayes -- who was selected by the Pistons with the No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft -- appeared in six regular-season games (five starts) for the Nets during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 9.0 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 threes over 27.0 minutes per game. He'll have the chance to establish a role for himself in the Kings' rotation now that Zach LaVine (finger) and De'Andre Hunter (eye) are both out for the rest of the season.

Murray (hamstring) will play Sunday against the Warriors.

Murray has scored at least 20 points in three straight, and he'll look to make it four in a row against the banged-up Warriors on Sunday. Make sure you've got Murray active.

Williams is probable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks due to a left hand contusion.

Williams is dealing with some soreness on his non-shooting hand, but he's expected to power through it. Check back closer to tipoff for official confirmation on Williams' status.

Richards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right foot soreness.

Richards could hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, which might open up some additional minutes for Guerschon Yabusele and Patrick Williams. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Richards' status.

Simons has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a left wrist sprain.

Simons injured the during the second quarter of Saturday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons and was unable to return for the second half of the contest. He will be held out for the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Hornets. With Jaden Ivey (knee) also sidelined, Collin Sexton, Rob Dillingham and Tre Jones could all see a little extra run off the bench behind backcourt starters Josh Giddey and Isaac Okoro.

Robinson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Sunday's game will be the second of a back-to-back set, so Robinson will get his standard maintenance day, which could lead to more minutes for Jeremy Sochan. Robinson will likely return for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

The 76ers announced that Broome sustained a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee while playing for the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

The 76ers' medical staff will conduct additional tests on Broome's knee before a determination is made whether he'll require a meniscectomy or a full repair of the meniscus. If the latter procedure is required, Broome would be sidelined for the rest of the season. A meniscectomy, meanwhile, typically carries a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline, which would give Broome a chance at playing again this season. Though he's been a member of the 76ers' 15-man roster all season, Broome has made just 11 appearances at the NBA level and has averaged 0.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee/shin) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

This will be Embiid's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and given there haven't been any reports of the big man practicing, he should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game in Indiana. Adem Bona, Andre Drummond and Dominick Barlow will help pick up the slack with Embiid unavailable.
