Top Zaccharie Risacher News

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Explodes for career-high 33 points

    Risacher contributed 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Knicks.

    Risacher endured a shooting slump in the early stages of the season but has been playing better of late, and he's been improving with each passing game. Things seem to have clicked for him since the start of November, and he has scored in double digits in three straight games. This 33-point output represents a career-best mark for him, and although he's not likely to hover around the 20-point mark in most games, his arrow is certainly trending in the right direction.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Rookie slump continues

    Risacher closed Friday's 123-115 loss to the Kings with three points (1-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and one rebound across 20 minutes.

    Risacher couldn't keep the momentum going after his 17-point effort in the loss to the Wizards on Wednesday, and he had a rough shooting performance this time around. Risacher has scored in single digits in four of his six outings to date, averaging 8.2 points per contest and shooting a worrisome 31.6 percent from the field. It's still early to hit the panic button, but Risacher's efficiency numbers have conspired against his upside thus far, especially since he's expected to remain in the starting unit for the foreseeable future.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Scores career-high 17 points

    Risacher accumulated 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Wizards.

    Risacher enjoyed the best game of his young career Wednesday despite struggling with his outside shot. The 2024 No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft has started in his last three contests, averaging 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.3 minutes over that span. While Risacher is posting 35.4/23.8/58.3 shooting splits on the season, his defensive prowess is encouraging.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Scores 13 points in first start

    Risacher finished Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Thunder with 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes.

    Risacher made the first start of his NBA career Sunday and didn't disappoint, scoring in double digits and being active on the glass. The sample size remains small, but the Frenchman looked much better in a starting role than off the bench, and it wouldn't be surprising if he maneuvers into the starting five permanently at some point. Three games aren't enough to draw any conclusions, but Risacher notched personal bests in points, rebounds and assists while surpassing the 20-point plateau for the first time.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Making first career start

    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.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Gets green light

    Risacher (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    As expected, Risacher is good to go for the regular season after resting during the Hawks' preseason finale. It's unclear if the No. 1 overall pick will start right away, but either way, he's expected to see consistent minutes for a squad that lost a high-usage player in Dejounte Murray (personal) this offseason.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Not playing in preseason finale

    Risacher (rest) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    The Hawks are resting most of their projected rotational players, and they won't risk the first overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft in the preseason finale. The Frenchman is slated to play a significant role for the Hawks as a rookie and could even find himself in a starting role during the season opener against the Nets next Wednesday.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Won't play Wednesday

    Risacher (rest) is inactive for Wednesday's preseason game versus Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Risacher next opportunity to take the court comes in short order, as Atlanta closes the back-to-back Thursday versus the Thunder. The rookie was solid in his latest preseason appearance, posting 14 points (5-11 FG) and eight rebounds in 23 minutes versus Philadelphia on Monday.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Adds 14 bench points

    Risacher tallied 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 104-89 preseason loss to the 76ers.

    Risacher came off the bench again Monday, but he finished the night with a team-high 14 points and fell just two rebounds shy of a double-double. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick continues to impress in the preseason, as he's scored 32 total points in his first two appearances while also showing significant upside on the glass.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Impresses in preseason debut

    Risacher posted 18 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 131-130 preseason win over the Pacers.

    Risacher was Atlanta's second-leading scorer Tuesday behind Jalen Johnson despite coming off the bench. At 6-foot-9, Risacher showed off his three-point prowess, which was a major factor in him being selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Slides to bench Tuesday

    Risacher will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    De'Andre Hunter will get the starting nod with Risacher coming off the bench in his first NBA preseason game. The rookie has been a full participant in training camp after injuring his quadricep during Summer League, and his play in the preseason will likely decide if he earns the starting role right out of the gate.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Participating in camp

    Risacher (quadriceps) has been a full participant at training camp this week, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

    The Hawks have made no mention of the quadriceps injury that limited the rookie during Summer League. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher will have the opportunity to make his case for the starting small forward role in camp.
