The Atlanta Hawks have adjusted their starting lineup, replacing former No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher with veteran guard CJ McCollum.
The move shifts Risacher out of the starting five and places McCollum in a featured role from the opening tip. No additional details about the decision were provided.
Lineup changes are a common lever teams use to recalibrate rotations and roles, and this one marks a notable shift given Risacher’s status as a former top overall selection and McCollum’s experience as an established veteran.
