Kristaps Porzingis (left Achilles tendinitis) and Zaccharie Risacher (left knee bone contusion) are expected to remain sidelined

The Atlanta Hawks said Porzingis and Risacher will miss at least another week as they continue to recover.
Both players are set to be re-evaluated in about a week, per the team.

Porzingis sat out his sixth straight game on Monday when the Hawks hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.
He has been dealing with left Achilles tendinitis, adding to a season impacted by health issues.

Acquired last summer from the Boston Celtics, Porzingis has played 17 games for Atlanta, averaging 17.1 points and 5.1 rebounds.
Risacher, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft, is averaging 11.2 points across 36 games.
