De'Andre Hunter of the Atlanta Hawks will miss tonight's game against the Washington Wizards due to right knee inflammation, marking a second consecutive absence. This opens the door for Zaccharie Risacher to start again.

Trae Young, who struggled with turnovers in the previous game, faces a favorable matchup against the Wizards, the league's worst defense. Meanwhile, Jalen Johnson continues to seek improvement after a rocky start to the season.
