Hawks acquire Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard in three-team trade involving Mavericks and Thunder

Atlanta added guard Lu Dort and rookie point guard Ryan Nembhard to its roster in a three-team transaction that also involved the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Hawks received Dort, a 27-year-old former undrafted player who posted 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game last season, and Nembhard, a 5-foot-11 guard who averaged 6.6 points and 5.3 assists as a rookie with Dallas.

Dallas acquired forward Zaccharie Risacher, a 6-foot-8 French player who averaged 9.6 points and 3.8 rebounds on 45.5% shooting in his second season, joining fellow 2025 first-overall pick Cooper Flagg on the roster.

Oklahoma City received three future second-round draft selections, increasing its total to seven after earlier trades for picks involving Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe. The Thunder had exercised Dort’s $17.7 million team option before moving him in the deal.

"The Thunder chose to trade Dort for additional draft assets rather than let him enter free agency," a league source said.

The trade details were reported by ESPN’s Sham Charania and are being followed for further confirmation.
