Zaccharie Risacher

Asked if Zaccharie Risacher starts opening night, Mavericks coach Dusty May wouldn't commit; the lineup is undecided. But on his second half against Atlanta, his former team, "he's gonna be a major rotation piece and play a lot."

Zaccharie Risacher on his slow starts through four preseason games with Dallas: "I gotta do a better job and show up early in the game... The first half usually during those preseason games wasn't that good." Facing his former team, the Hawks, was "exciting."
