Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 draft, will sit out at least another week due to a strained left adductor, the team said Tuesday.
Risacher already has missed three games with the injury, and Atlanta said in a statement that he’s “progressing in his rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.”
Risacher, 19, has averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 39 games this season. He has shot just 28.1% from 3-point range.
The Frenchman has had one game where he scored at least 20 points, a 33-point outburst Nov. 6 in a win over the New York Knicks.
Atlanta recently got back forward Jalen Johnson, its second-leading scorer (19.4 PPG), from a five-game absence due to shoulder inflammation.
