Hunter (knee) won't play in Friday's game against the Heat, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter was a late addition to the Hawks injury report Friday with right knee soreness. Considering Hunter missed three games with a knee injury earlier this month and Friday's contest is the first of a back-to-back, his absence is likely more of a precaution than an indication of a significant injury. While he's out, expect Garrison Matthews, Wesley Matthews and Bogdan Bogdanovic to handle larger roles.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter has appeared in three straight contests after missing a trio of games due to a knee injury. His late addition to the injury report Friday is concerning, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Atlanta hold Hunter out as a precaution.
