Yossi Gozlan: Dallas Mavericks after trading for Zaccharie Risacher. He's a little more likely to get his $17.4 million team option for 2027-28 picked up with this trade. They still have $7 million remaining of their Anthony Davis trade exception. They're out of second-round picks to trade.
Marc Stein: After trading away Anthony Davis in February, Dallas will again have three No. 1 overall picks on its roster when today's three-team trade agreement is made official: Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and Zaccharie Risacher.
Shams Charania: BREAKING: The Oklahoma City Thunder trading All-Defensive wing Lu Dort to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal that sends three second-round picks to OKC, former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks and Ryan Nembhard to Atlanta, sources tell ESPN.
Shams Charania: Oklahoma City has now acquired seven second-round picks this offseason, shed $224 million in payroll and tax and positioned themselves comfortably under the second apron via the trades of Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins. Rather than simply declining Dort's $17.7 million team option to save the money, the Thunder picked it up, acquired three future assets, created a $17M trade exception and place their 2025 championship stalwart in position for a new long-term deal in Atlanta which was not viable in OKC.
Revisiting his declining minutes with the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA, Zaccharie Risacher opened up about his complicated sophomore journey. In a recent interview on beIN Sports, relayed by BeBasket on Wednesday, the 21-year-old forward admitted that he felt a bit lost as the 2025–26 Regular Season progressed. “It was a pretty frustrating season because the playing time I got just kept decreasing,” the former top draft pick confessed regarding his dynamic role change.

Despite the obstacles on the court, the son of former player Stephane Risacher insists he stayed mentally locked in throughout the challenging stretch. “I had to concentrate more on myself, make sure I kept moving forward despite the adversity,” he said. This operational resilience is fueled by an unwavering certainty regarding his long-term capability at the highest level. “I belong on an NBA court. There’s no doubt about that. I have confidence in myself,” he stressed.
Head coach Frederic Fauthoux has named a 16-player roster for the senior national team of France heading into the upcoming July window of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers, as revealed by the French Federation of Basketball on Friday. The star-studded training camp squad is highlighted by the returns of veterans Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier, alongside a strong NBA contingent featuring Bilal Coulibaly, Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr, Guerschon Yabusele, and newcomer Maxime Raynaud. While France will be without Victor Wembanyama following his deep run in the 2026 NBA Playoffs, presented by Google, Fauthoux balanced the roster with EuroLeague standouts Sylvain Francisco, Nadir Hifi, Jaylen Hoard, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Frank Ntilikina, Elie Okobo, and Matthew Strazel, who were also called up alongside window veterans Adam Mokoka and Amine Noua to ensure continuity.

Kevin Chouinard: Buddy Hield, on Zaccharie Risacher: “You just use this test, turn this into testimony. And when you look back on it in three or four years, you’ll be like, ‘Man, I've been in the fire for a reason.’ “And I think he's going to get all of that, and I tell him that he's going to have a summer where – whether he's in LA or Miami, where he's not going back to Europe – he's staying here and he's going to play a lot of basketball and he's going to work on his game and he's going to get a lot better.”
