Hawks' Nikola Djurisic: Fractures foot Sunday
Rotowire
Djurisic suffered a left foot fracture Sunday in the Hawks' 79-76 loss to the Spurs in the Las Vegas Summer League.
A timetable for Djurisic will be announced after further evaluation, but he'll miss the rest of the Las Vegas Summer League. Selected with the No. 43 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Djurisic is expected to remain overseas during the 2024-25 season.
Risacher recorded 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and a block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 79-76 loss to the Hawks in Summer League.
Risacher posted a second consecutive double-digit scoring outing to kick off Summer League but struggled with efficiency. The first-overall pick has especially struggled from deep, shooting just 25.0 percent from three over his first two outings. Despite his struggle to kick off Summer League, he is a proven proficient three-point shooter, logging 45.0 percent from beyond the arc across 23 games during the EuroCup in 2023-24, so it will be surprising if his shooting woes continue for an extended period.
