The Hawks said Tuesday that rookie Zaccharie Risacher will miss more time.

The team initially announced Friday that the rookie would miss two games with a left adductor strain. Now, three games later, the Hawks announced that he is progressing in his rehabilitation.

The team added that Risacher will be re-evaluated in approximately one week, and the Hawks will provide an update on his status when deemed appropriate.

Through 38 games, with 36 starts, this season, Risacher has averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists, all while giving the Hawks strong minutes on the defensive end of the floor.
