Zaccharie Risacher Upgraded to Probable After Hip Contusion Scare

Zaccharie Risacher is officially upgraded to probable for Saturday, meaning the collective blood pressure of Dallas Mavericks fans can finally drop out of the stroke zone.

Underdog NBA dropped the update on the forward's hip injury, signaling he is ready to get back to work. If you are trying to set a weekend fantasy lineup or figure out which side of a Mavericks prop to back, this is the exact kind of clarity you need.

The hip contusion originally looked like it could be a massive headache. When Risacher took a hard fall and immediately exited the game, the only silver lining was that he walked to the locker room under his own power. In the modern NBA, a guy walking off on his own either means he just needs an ice pack or he is about to miss six months. Luckily, it was the former.

It has been a rough stretch of lower-body maintenance for the Dallas wing. Between recent bouts with a quad contusion and adductor irritation, his legs have required more diagnostic work than a 2008 Nissan Altima. Getting him back to probable is a massive relief for a rotation that desperately needs his minutes.

Assuming his pregame warmup does not involve any sudden, catastrophic slips, expect Risacher to suit up Saturday. Check the final inactive report just to be safe, but it looks like Dallas is finally getting their guy back on the floor.
