Hunter is set to undergo season-ending eye surgery, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter managed to suit up for only two games for Sacramento before opting to undergo a season-ending procedure on his eye, but this likely won't be something that impacts his status for next year's training camp. He will end his 2025-26 campaign with averages of 13.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 triples in 26.1 minutes per game across 45 regular-season outings (25 starts) between Cleveland and Sacramento. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden are candidates for increased playing time.

Hunter (eye) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday will mark Hunter's fifth consecutive game on the inactive list, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with Memphis. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden will continue to pick up the slack in Hunter's absence.

Hunter (eye) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter is battling a left eye injury that cost him the final three games before the All-Star break and will keep him sidelined coming out of the pause. It's unclear how close he is to returning, but his absence will likely mean more opportunities for Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden. Hunter's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter exited to the locker room in the third quarter and won't return in the fourth. The 28-year-old forward faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up against the Cavaliers on Saturday, and he can be considered questionable for that one until Sacramento offers an update on his status.

Hunter produced nine points (3-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 loss to the Grizzlies.

In 23 games during that time, he has averaged just 11.9 points and 1.5 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 250 in nine-category leagues. Despite the change of scenery, it doesn't appear as thouh Hunter is going to be anything more than a possible streaming candidate for anyone needing threes.
