Hunter is listed as probable for Saturday's NBA Cup Semifinals game versus the Bucks due to right knee management, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has been routinely listed on Atlanta's injury report and playing through it. Given the magnitude of Saturday's game, it seems unlikely the team will err on the side of knee management, but it remains a possibility. The forward tallied 24 points (8-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and one rebound across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 Quarterfinals win over the Knicks.

Hunter (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was initially listed as questionable due to right knee injury management. Still, as evidenced by the probable tag he has been carrying since Tuesday, he'll suit up and should handle his regular workload. Hunter will play in a 12th straight contest, and he's been playing at a high level off the bench in recent weeks. He's scored at least 18 points in seven games in a row, averaging 22.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that stretch.

Hunter (head) went back to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was hit in the head and stayed down for a significant period of time before walking back to the locker room. The 27-year-old was evaluated for a concussion and has been cleared for a return, per the broadcast. If the club opts to sit Hunter the rest of the way, Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews are candidates for an uptick in playing time for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Hunter is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right knee injury management, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter could be held out of his first game since Nov. 17, in which he was ruled out due to right knee injury management. The sixth-year forward has thrived as the leader of the Hawks' second unit this season, and in his last 10 outings, he averaged 19.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.4 minutes per game. If Hunter is sidelined Sunday, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci could see an uptick in playing time.
