The Atlanta Hawks moved back into the NBA draft by trading forward AJ Griffin to the Houston Rockets for the No. 44 pick. The Hawks then swapped second-round picks with Miami, moving up one spot to No. 43 and using the pick to obtain rights to forward Nikola Djurisic of Serbia. The Hawks made French teen Zaccharie Risacher the No. 1 overall pick in the draft Wednesday night. It was Atlanta’s only pick in the draft before Thursday’s trade. The trade of Griffin, a 2022 first-round pick, helps to clear playing time for Risacher, a wing.
