‘He’s a cyborg’ — Mavericks don’t mind paying a little more for another year of Zaccharie Risacher

The Dallas Mavericks have officially exercised the fourth-year team option on Zaccharie Risacher, committing to a salary of over $17.4 million for the upcoming season. This decision follows a strong start to his tenure in Dallas, where his defensive contributions have outweighed his early shooting struggles.

Head coach Dusty May praised the 21-year-old for his relentless motor and conditioning, even comparing his high-energy style of play to that of a machine. Despite shooting difficulties, Risacher has maintained a positive plus-minus rating through his first five appearances with the club.

The team's commitment was announced shortly before their 120-96 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
