Risacher is dealing with a right hip contusion. If he can’t go after logging 28 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Wizards, the Hawks would likely lean on Mouhamed Gueye a bit more, along with Jonathan Kuminga. Of the two, Kuminga is the one whom fantasy managers should seek on the waiver wire.

Risacher suffered a quad contusion during Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, which limited him to 21 minutes. Corey Kispert played 30 minutes off the bench, and could figure more prominently in the rotation if Risacher can’t play on Wednesday. Kispert would only be worth a look for managers needing three-point production.

There’s never a good time to suffer an injury, but Risacher’s knee injury came on the heels of him shooting 7-of-9 from three in a January 7 win over the Pelicans. In his first three games back, the Hawks forward shot 2-of-10 from deep, so Saturday’s 4-of-4 effort was a welcome sign. For the season, Risacher is shooting 35 percent from three, making it easy to dismiss Saturday as a departure from the norm. He was also responsible for three blocks in the defeat, another statistical anomaly for the second-year wing.

Saturday’s game will be Risacher’s first since January 7. Corey Kispert has replaced him in the starting lineup, and that may remain the case on Saturday, given the time Risacher has missed. However, there hasn’t been much to gain from streaming Kispert, so leave him on the waiver wire.

Risacher has missed the last three weeks with a knee injury. The 20-year-old small forward has a chance to return Saturday given his questionable listing. If he remains out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Risacher has been out for the better part of the last month with a knee injury. That absence will extend to Wednesday’s game against the Celtics. With Risacher still out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Risacher is nearing a return after nearly three weeks on the shelf, but until he’s back, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí should see increased run. Despite the bump in playing time, neither Kispert nor Krejčí are worth a look outside of deep fantasy leagues.

Due to a bone contusion in his left knee, Risacher has not appeared in a game since January 7. Being assigned to the Hawks’ G League affiliate is a step in the right direction, as it’s a sign that he’s able to do some on-court work. While Vit Krejčí was Risacher’s replacement in the starting lineup in the immediate aftermath of his knee injury, Corey Kispert has been the most recent replacement. Neither player should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Monday’s game against the Bucks will be the sixth that Risacher has missed with a bone contusion in his left knee. With the team’s update, he’ll miss at least another three games before being re-evaluated. Vit Krejčí has been Risacher’s replacement in the starting lineup, and that should not change.

Monday’s game will be the sixth that Risacher has missed due to his knee injury, meaning that Vit Krejčí gets another start. Due to his struggles shooting the ball since moving into the starting five, Krejčí is not worth the streaming risk in most leagues.

This will be a fifth straight absence for Risacher, which means Vit Krejčí should be in line for another start. Unfortunately, Krejčí has shot 28.6 percent during this stint as a starter, and his value is tied to his shooting ability. He isn’t worth streaming despite the increased workload.

The former first-overall pick will miss his fourth straight game on Thursday. The last time Risacher took the floor, he recorded a season-high 25 points against the Pelicans. He’s yet to be active since the Hawks traded for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.

Risacher was initially listed as questionable, but he will remain out for a third straight game. Vit Krejčí has started the last two games, though he has been held to a total of five points. Luke Kennard (neck) is also out, so Corey Kispert should take on extra minutes off the bench.

Risacher has missed Atlanta’s last two games with a left knee bone contusion that was initially listed as inflammation. Vit Krejčí has been the replacement in the starting lineup, but the results have been mixed. With CJ McCollum now in the fold, he and Luke Kennard also have more opportunities to contribute to help compensate for Risacher’s absence.

Risacher will miss a second consecutive game with left knee inflammation. Vit Krejčí started Friday’s win over the Nuggets, recording two steals and two blocked shots. Unfortunately, he had a brutal night shooting the basketball, going scoreless on 0-of-8 shooting (0-of-7 3-pointers).

Added to the injury report earlier Friday, Risacher is now officially out for the first game of Atlanta’s road trip. Vit Krejčí was the choice to fill the void the last time Risacher missed a game, and he may receive the nod on Friday. If so, Krejčí is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Absent from the initial injury report released by the Hawks, Risacher is now questionable due to left knee inflammation. He last missed a game on November 18, with Vit Krejčí filling the void. Krejčí can provide three-point value when allowed to start, especially as part of a rotation that won’t have new additions CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.

It has been a disappointing second season for Risacher, but after figuring out some offense against Toronto on Monday, he was able to set a new season high for scoring in Wednesday’s win. It’s no coincidence that he also played a season-high 34 minutes. Hawks coach Quin Snyder hasn’t played the 2024 No. 1 overall pick as much as his other starters, but if he continues to play this well, he should continue to get the chance, which will lead to more production. At this point, he is only worth rostering in dynasty leagues.

Risacher’s second season in the NBA has been rough, especially in recent weeks. However, prior to fouling out, this was actually a solid performance for him. He had an efficient shooting night and was able to provide four assists after totaling two assists over his last six games. Risacher is not worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues, but there is still upside for the 2024 No. 1 overall pick for dynasty managers.

Risacher is back after a one-game absence, which will push Vit Krejčí to the bench after playing 36 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons. While capable of providing some value in a reserve role, Krejčí does not have to be rostered in this spot.

Risacher took a hard fall during Sunday’s game against the Spurs and subsequently was held out of Tuesday’s game against the Pistons. The 20-year-old small forward is questionable for Thursday with a hip injury. If he’s ruled out again, Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí should see extra minutes.

Risacher took a hard fall against the Suns on Sunday, so the fact he was questionable before this game is encouraging. He won’t be available, but this may not be a lengthy absence for him. Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí should take on extra minutes with Risacher unavailable; Krejčí has been on fire lately and has a decent chance to start.

Risacher injured his left hip during Sunday’s win over the Suns, landing hard on the court after completing a two-handed dunk and losing grip of the rim. If he cannot play on Tuesday, more minutes would become available to Luke Kennard and Vit Krejčí, with the latter being the more productive option recently. There’s also a chance that rookie Asa Newell gets more run after logging nine minutes on Sunday, but there isn’t anything to gain from streaming him.

Risacher suffered a scary fall after throwing down a dunk with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The Hawks forward lost grip of the rim and went head over heels, landing directly on his left hip. Due to what the team called a left hip contusion, Risacher did not return. Atlanta plays its next game on Tuesday against the Pistons, with Vit Krejčí having added streaming value if Risacher cannot play.

Risacher got off to a sizzling-hot start with 11 points in the opening four minutes of this one, finishing the first half with a game-high 16 points. He knocked down six of 10 from the floor during that span, including a pair of three pointers to propel the Hawks to a 17-point halftime lead. The 20-year-old former lottery pick will continue shouldering a larger role for Atlanta with offensive catalyst Trae Young facing a four-week absence with an MCL sprain in his right knee. He hasn’t been consistent enough to merit a roster spot in shallow fantasy leagues, but he’s shown some flashes of big-time scoring upside. His time is coming.

Risacher returned to the Hawks’ lineup on Monday after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. Due to his return, Nickeil Alexander-Walker was bumped to the bench, but he still provided superior value to Risacher. Alexander-Walker is the superior fantasy option despite being used in a reserve role.

After spraining his right ankle during Atlanta’s season opener on Wednesday, Risacher has missed the last two games. While participating in shootaround does not guarantee he’ll play against the Bulls on Monday, it is a step in the right direction. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has started the last two games in Risacher’s absence.

Injured during Atlanta’s season opener on Wednesday, Risacher has missed the last two games with a sprained right ankle. Nickeil Alexander-Walker was the replacement in the starting lineup, which raised his fantasy ceiling. Even if Risacher can play on Monday, Alexander-Walker is worth holding onto in standard leagues.
