Late addition to injury report
Risacher is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to left knee inflammation.
Analysis
Risacher was an extremely late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. The second-year forward will likely be a game-time call ahead of Friday's tipoff at 9:00 p.m. ET. If he isn't cleared to suit up, Vit Krejci and Luke Kennard could see increased playing time.

Scores season-high 25 points
Risacher registered 25 points (8-13 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 win over the Pelicans.
Analysis
Risacher delivered arguably his best performance of the season in the win over New Orleans, setting season highs in both points and rebounds. The 20-year-old forward also saw a season-high 34 minutes and knocked down a career-best seven three-pointers, topping his previous high of four set Nov. 25. It marked Risacher's first 20-point outing since Nov. 4. For the season, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick is averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 threes, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals across 24.6 minutes per game.

Fouls out in 22 minutes
Risacher registered 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 118-100 loss to the Raptors.
Analysis
Risacher was having one of his better showings before his night ended early with six fouls. His fantasy appeal has been lacking in recent weeks, as he's averaging 9.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.4 three-pointers on 44.6 percent shooting from the field over his last eight games.
