Risacher was traded to the Mavericks on Sunday as part of a three-team deal that sent Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard (illness) to the Hawks and three second-round picks to the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After being selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher's tenure in Atlanta comes to an end as he'll head to Dallas. In 67 regular-season games (46 starts) with the Hawks during the 2025-26 campaign, the wing averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.4 minutes per contest. Risacher still has much to prove heading into his third NBA season and will likely slot into a reserve role with the Mavericks, competing with the likes of Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall and Santi Aldama for playing time.

Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Sticking around in Dallas
Rotowire
Cisse will return to the Mavericks after Dallas matched the two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet he received from the Knicks on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Dallas wasted little time matching the Knicks' offer to keep Cisse in the fold, though the 6-foot-11 center will now occupy a standard roster spot after serving as a two-way player as a undrafted rookie in 2025-26. He appeared in 38 games at the NBA level last season, shooting 57.4 percent from the field while averaging 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per game. Cisse may have a tough time cracking the rotation with regularity in 2026-27 if Dereck Lively (foot) and Daniel Gafford are fully healthy. The Mavericks also acquired Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson earlier in the offseason and could also look to incorporate them at center.

Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Reaches offer sheet with Knicks
Rotowire
Cisse agreed to a two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet with the Knicks on Saturday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.
After receiving a two-way qualifying offer from the Mavericks earlier in the offseason, Cisse entered restricted free agency and appears to have found a match with the Knicks. In 38 appearances at the NBA level in 2025-26, the big man averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per contest. Dallas has until 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday to match the offer, or Cisse will officially head to New York, who could be viewing the second-year center as a candidate to push Andre Drummond for the top backup role behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

Mavericks' Darin Green: Nails six triples in SL win
Rotowire
Green recorded 21 points (6-13 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and two rebounds over 24 minutes during Friday's 110-88 Summer League win over the Knicks.
Green did most of his damage from three-point range, with all six of his made field goals coming from beyond the arc, which was enough for him to co-lead the Mavericks in scoring with fellow reserve Tyler Smith. Green has gone 17-for-31 (54.8 percent) from deep across four Summer League games, which may be enough for him to earn an invite to Dallas' training camp in September.

Mavericks' Tyler Smith: Scores 21 points with three treys
Rotowire
Smith recorded 21 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Friday's 110-88 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Knicks.
Smith saw some increased minutes Friday and made the most of the opportunity, posting a plus-20 differential in the easy win. He's on a two-way deal with Dallas, so he'll likely spend most of the 2026-27 season with the Mavericks' G League affiliate.

Mavericks' John Poulakidas: Leads Dallas in scoring in SL win
Rotowire
Poulakidas finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Thursday's 97-87 Summer League win over Oklahoma City.
Poulakidas finished with 19 points, his second double-digit scoring performance and highest point total in four Las Vegas Summer League appearances. The 23-year-old, who is currently signed to a two-way contract, appeared in 13 regular-season games with the Mavericks during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.5 steals over 19.5 minutes. Poulakidas is projected to spend most of his time in the G League in 2026-27, though he could see minutes with Dallas if the team needs depth because of an injury.

Mavericks' Sergio de Larrea: Collects 14 dimes in SL win
Rotowire
De Larrea finished with two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 97-87 Summer League victory over the Thunder.
De Larrea couldn't get his shot to fall in this one, but he found a way to make significant contributions elsewhere. He paced Dallas in both assists and rebounds, nearly reaching a double-double with his production on the boards and as a facilitator. De Larrea continues to enjoy a strong Summer League and could have another chance to run the floor Friday against the Knicks.

Mavericks' Ryan Nembhard: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Nembhard (illness) did not play in Monday's 96-88 Summer League win over Memphis and is considered day-to-day, NBA contributor Ron Harrod Jr. reports.
Nembhard played relatively well in his two appearances of the Las Vegas Summer League, combining for 27 points, five rebounds, 16 assists, two steals and one block. He's been under the weather, so his next opportunity to get back on the floor will come Thursday versus Oklahoma City. For now, Nembhard should be considered at least questionable to suit up for that contest.

De Larrea struggled to make much of an impact through his first two games in Las Vegas, but he busted out in a big way Monday, notching a double-double while guiding the Mavs to victory. He was perfect at the line, shot 40 percent from deep and finished with a plus-5 differential in the eight-point win.

Nembhard struggled from the field, though his 12 points were enough to lead the team in Saturday's blowout loss. The 23-year-old is coming off a rookie season in which he saw significant run, averaging 6.6 points, 5.3 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per contest across 60 regular-season appearances (27 starts).

Johnson closed with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 28 minutes in Saturday's 91-70 Summer League loss to the Lakers.
Johnson put up modest offensive numbers, though he stood out with a game-high four blocks to go along with two steals. The early returns on the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft have been encouraging, as his strong defensive showing Saturday came on the heels of a 27-point performance Thursday.

The No. 25 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, De Larrea is facing an uphill battle for playing time in Dallas. Look for the team to bring him along slowly behind the likes of Kyrie Irving (knee), Ryan Nembhard and Marcus Sasser.

Mavericks' Ryan Nembhard: Records double-double in loss
Rotowire
Nembhard finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one block over 35 minutes in Thursday's 101-90 Summer League loss to Golden State.
Despite shooting an inefficient 1-for-6 from deep, Nembhard led the Mavericks in scoring while finishing with a double-double. The 23-year-old was a sporadic contributor for Dallas in 2025-26, though he averaged 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 0.4 steals across 25.7 minutes in 27 regular-season starts. Nembhard might have a tough time being as productive if the Mavericks' starters stay healthy during the 2026-27 campaign. However, he will get an opportunity to carve out a stable role off the bench.
