The Atlanta Hawks exercised their third-year option on Zaccharie Risacher after a standout rookie season that included All-Rookie honors and multiple 30-point games.

Hawks' guard Trae Young will miss the first game of the NBA Cup against the Pacers on Friday night and will have an MRI on an injured knee by Thursday.

The Hawks' 3-point shooting was better against the Nets, foul trouble was still a problem and Trae Young sprained his knee and will likely miss several games.

The Hawks didn’t leave the Big Apple without any casualties after guard Trae Young exited the game at the end of the first quarter.

Hawks guard Trae Young is done for the night at Barclays Center.

‘This is technically our second game together as a full team,’ Trae Young says, so it’s not going to be pretty at first.

On Monday, the Hawks got their full rotation back. But the return of Porzingis, Johnson and Risacher showed the team still has more to clean up defensively.

The Atlanta Hawks are just three games into the NBA season, but injuries to key players have left to shifting lineups and a lack of consistency.

The Hawks didn't have enough in the tank on the second night of back-to-back games and without three key players, falling 117-100 to the Thunder.

The Atlanta Hawks will be without Kristaps Porzingis, Zaccharie Risacher and Jalen Johnson against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.
