Welcome to the roster, Nikola! After being drafted in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Nikola Đurišić (Djurisic) suffered an injury and later played with the College Park Skyhawks despite not signing to a standard or even a two-way contract.
Nikola Djurisic was the 43rd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after playing four seasons overseas. He spent the 2024-25 season in the G League (with the College Park Skyhawks).
A surgery will keep the guard/wing out for a while. This summer was fairly brutal on the injury front for the Hawks. Both second-year guard Kobe Bufkin and second-year wing Seth Lundy were ruled out of the entirety of summer league action before it even began due to physical ailments.
The good and the bad of summer basketball. While much of the focus is on on court play of the young players, the Hawks have had a busy news cycle for the guards on their roster.
The Atlanta Hawks are about to tip off their next Summer League game and just announced their starting lineup for tonight's contest vs the Spurs: \ G- Nikola Djurisic G- Zaccharie Risacher F- Dylan Windler F- Mouhamed Gueye C- Rob Baker All eyes were on Risacher Friday night and he did not disappoint.
Even though it didn't end in a win, there are still plenty of takeaways from the Hawks' summer league opener against the Wizards. It is worth noting that Summer League is always a different context to evaluate players in than what their NBA role will be.
