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 per game in 39 games (37 starts) this season. He has shot just 28.1 percent 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.
