Will play Wednesday
Risacher (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Analysis
Risacher will shed his questionable tag due to a left quadriceps contusion and suit up in Atlanta's final game before the All-Star break. The second-year forward has appeared in each of the Hawks' last five outings, averaging 7.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.6 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Picks up quad injury
Risacher is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte due to a left quadriceps contusion.
Analysis
Risacher has played in five straight games since returning from a knee injury, but he evidently picked up a left quad injury at some point over his previous few appearances. He'll presumably be re-evaluated at some point before Wednesday's tipoff to determine whether he can take the floor.

Can't find shooting touch Thursday
Risacher supplied zero points (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over the Jazz.
Analysis
With Jonathan Kuminga (knee) on the way into Atlanta, Risacher could be in jeopardy of losing out on some playing time at small forward. The Hawks appear to be bringing Risacher along slowly -- the 2024 No. 1 overall pick recently faced an 11-game absence with a knee bone bruise -- but he'll likely need to pick things back up quickly in order to keep his starting position. Risacher has failed to score in double digits in any of his last three games, shooting just 30.0 percent from the field during that stretch.
