Limited role in season-ending loss Risacher racked up three points (1-11 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two steals across 16 minutes during Friday's 123-114 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Heat.
Impact Despite starting, Risacher only saw 16 minutes of action in Friday's overtime loss, allowing Caris LeVert, Terance Mann and Georges Niang to all receive increased playing time. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft ended his rookie campaign averaging 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.6 minutes on 45.8/35.5/71.1 shooting splits across 75 regular-season appearances. However, in Risacher's 42 regular-season appearances since the beginning of 2025, he converted 40.1 percent of his 4.8 three-point attempts per contest.

Muted performance in loss Risacher closed with seven points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.
Impact Risacher, playing in his first ever postseason game, struggled to generate anything offensively, though the usage was encouraging. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher still has a long way to go as a fantasy asset -- he finished well outside the top-200 for nine-category value with 12.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers on 45.5 percent shooting from the field.

Tallies career-high 38 points Risacher collected 38 points (15-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 victory over the Nets.
Impact Risacher was held to eight points in his previous matchup Tuesday against the Magic, but he managed to put this sluggish showing behind him and turned in the best game of his young career Thursday. The 20-year-old's huge night marks his fourth 30-point showing of the 2024-25 season. Following the win, Risacher will have two more opportunities in the regular season before getting his first taste of the playoffs as the Hawks look to lock up the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
