Zaccharie Risacher Atlanta Hawks 2024-2025 Game Worn Association Edition Jersey | 2nd Career Game

This home ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Zaccharie Risacher on October 25, 2024, when the Atlanta Hawks played the Charlotte Hornets.  

Risacher finished with 5 points, 1 assist, and 1 block. The Hawks beat the Hornets, 125-120. 

At 15 years old, Risacher joined the ASVEL youth program and played in the French under-21 league. By 16, he was playing for AVEL's senior team in the LNB Élite and EuroLeague. In 2023, Risacher signed with JL Bourg and was quickly a standout star. He led JL Bourg to the EuroCup finals and was the second youngest player to win the 'EuroCup Rising Star' prize at just 18. Risacher was later named the Best Young Player of the 2023–24 LNB Élite season, averaging 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in only 22 minutes per game.

The hotbed of international basketball talent has become quite clear now. With Zaccharie Risacher being drafted 1st overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2024 NBA Draft, the French have produced the #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft for the first time in history. As evidenced by their tight contest during the 2024 Olympics, French basketball has arrived. 

Zaccharie Risacher is one of the latest international prospects to come on the scene. While he doesn’t come with the same fanfare that Victor Wembanyama commanded, Risacher brings exciting traits to a Hawks squad in desperate need of a spark. The Hawks gladly welcome his defensive potential alongside Trae Young’s potent scoring.  

At the time of cataloging, Risacher has career averages of 12.6 points per game, 3.6 rebounds per game, and 1.2 assists per game.
