Hunter (ankle) will not take the floor Tuesday versus the Pacers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter's appearance in shootaround Tuesday morning provided some optimism he would be able to suit up during the evening, but it appears he will be forced to miss his sixth contest of the season due to a sprained left ankle. Hunter's absence likely opens the door for AJ Griffin and Trent Forrest, among others, to pick up additional minutes. Hunter won't have to wait long for his next opportunity to suit up Wednesday versus the Nets.

The fourth-year forward suffered the injury during the first half of Friday's win over Detroit, but he was back on the court to start the third quarter and finished with nine points, five rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes.
