The Atlanta Hawks will be without forward Kristaps Porzingis and rookie wing Zaccharie Risacher for a minimum of one more week, the club announced Monday.
Porzingis missed his sixth consecutive game when Atlanta hosted the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 19, 2026. The 7-foot-3 veteran is dealing with left Achilles tendinitis, adding to a season already interrupted by multiple injuries and illnesses.
Risacher, taken first overall in the 2024 NBA draft, also sat out his sixth straight contest Monday because of a bone contusion in his left knee.
The team said both players will be reevaluated in about a week.
Porzingis, acquired last summer from the Boston Celtics, has appeared in just 17 games for Atlanta, averaging 17.1 points and 5.1 rebounds. Risacher has played 36 games, posting 11.2 points per outing.
