Hawks send Zaccharie Risacher a harsh message in Trae Young's return from injury

During the Atlanta Hawks' recent game against the Charlotte Hornets, fans and media alike noticed a glaring concern late in the fourth quarter. With a little under five minutes left in the game, the Hawks started to chip away at the Hornets' lead, eventually making it a one-point game with a little under three minutes to go.

Atlanta wasn't able to take control of the game after that, eventually ending in a 126-133 loss for the Hawks, but it wasn't the game itself that had the people concerned. Zaccharie Risacher, who the Hawks took with the #1 overall pick back in 2023, played a whopping zero closing minutes.
