Slides to bench Tuesday Risacher will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact De'Andre Hunter will get the starting nod with Risacher coming off the bench in his first NBA preseason game. The rookie has been a full participant in training camp after injuring his quadricep during Summer League, and his play in the preseason will likely decide if he earns the starting role right out of the gate.

Out for Tuesday Bogdanovic (rest) has been ruled out of Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Bogdanovic will get an extra day of rest Tuesday, with Dyson Daniels getting the start at shooting guard. Bogdanovic is returning from a busy offseason, during which he helped Serbia win a bronze medal in the Olympic Games. The 32-year-old's absence will allow the Hawks to take an extended look at Daniels in the starting lineup, as well as Vit Krejci and Garrison Matthews off the bench.

Won't play Tuesday Okongwu (toe) is out for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Okongwu still appears to be recovering from a non-surgical procedure he underwent in April to deal with inflammation in his left big toe. While Okongwu hasn't been ruled out for the preseason, his status is worth monitoring ahead of Atlanta's regular-season campaign, which begins Oct. 23 against Brooklyn.

Participating in camp Risacher (quadricep) has been a full participant at training camp this week, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact The Hawks have made no mention of the quadriceps injury that limited the rookie during the Summer League. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher will have the opportunity to make his case for the starting small forward role in camp.

Limited to start camp Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Monday that Lundy (ankle) will be limited to begin training camp this week, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Lundy underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his left ankle during the offseason and was expected to be ready for camp, but his progress has been a little slower than expected. Fields did say that Lundy is trending in the right direction, but the Hawks aren't going to push him at less than 100 percent. Lundy is on a two-way contract this season and will likely spend most of his time in the G League.

Not 100 percent for camp Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Monday that Okongwu (toe) is not 100 percent healthy entering training camp, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Okongwu underwent a non-surgical procedure back on April 11 to address ongoing inflammation in his left big toe, and it's a concern that he's still not 100 percent. Fields did indicate that Okongwu is progressing in the right direction, but fantasy managers will want to watch this situation closely during the preseason because he has considerable upside if he can get his health right.

Likely to be stashed overseas Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Monday that Djurisic (foot) is likely to be stashed overseas, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Fields added that the Hawks are still evaluation their options, but it sounds like a stash overseas is inevitable. Djurisic is still recovering from a broken foot and won't be re-evaluated until November.

Cleared to play Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Monday that Gueye (hip) will be ready for training camp this week, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Gueye had a very quiet rookie season for the Hawks, playing 11 regular season games with averages of 2.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. With Atlanta's considerable depth at center, Gueye is unlikely to crack the rotation to open the new campaign.
