Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher Questionable for Pistons Game with Hip Contusion

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher, 20, is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a hip contusion suffered after Sunday's contest against the Suns. His estimated return is November 18, 2025. Risacher, who signed a two-year, $25.77 million contract with the Hawks in July 2024, is currently averaging 12.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks this season. The 6-foot-8 Frenchman is a high-lottery prospect known for his shooting, hitting nearly 39 percent from beyond the arc, and defensive versatility. While he needs to develop his playmaking and add weight, he projects as a valuable long-term role player. Should he be sidelined, Luke Kennard, Asa Newell, and Caleb Houstan are candidates to join the Atlanta rotation.
