OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Oklahoma City is trading starting forward and defensive standout Lu Dort to Atlanta as part of a three-team deal that also has the Hawks sending former No. 1 draft pick Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Atlanta also will receive Ryan Nembhard from Dallas and the Thunder will be getting three heavily protected second-round draft picks, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal has yet to receive the necessary approvals from the NBA.<\/p>\n
The trade allows the Thunder to shed the salary needed to get below the second apron, gives the Hawks another top defender in Dort and gives the Mavericks a third No. 1 overall pick \u2014 the most currently on one roster in the NBA. Risacher will be joining 2011 top pick Kyrie Irving and 2025 top pick Cooper Flagg in Dallas.<\/p>\n
Dort averaged 11.6 points over his first seven seasons, all with the Thunder. Risacher \u2014 a runner-up for rookie of the year in 2024-25 \u2014 averaged 11.1 points in two seasons with Atlanta and Nembhard averaged 6.6 points for Dallas as a rookie this past season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
