Coach Nate McMillan said Hunter (knee) went through a full practice Sunday and suffered no setbacks, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was previously reported that Hunter could return Monday, and his successful participation in practice is another positive sign. "Everything looked good," McMillan said. "Went through full practice, we didn't do anything live, mostly a lot of shooting today, but really no reports of setbacks." Hunter hasn't played since late March, so he likely will see a minutes limit if he is available to return ahead of the playoffs.

Hunter (knee) played five-on-five during Saturday's practice and based on how Sunday's practice and Monday's morning walkthrough go, he could return for the game against the Wizards, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter is starting to get comfortable on his surgically repaired right knee, and he could return as soon as Monday. The second-year forward hasn't played in the Hawks' past 24 games, and he's appeared in just two contests since the start of February. Once Hunter returns, he'll likely be on a minutes limit, though if he returns as soon as Monday, it seems possible that he could be fully cleared by the time the playoffs start.

Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that Hunter won't resume playing until he regains full confidence in his surgically-repaired right knee, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports. "We aren't going to put anyone out there if they don't feel comfortable playing," Schlenk said.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter initially injured the knee Jan. 29 and underwent surgery just over a week later. He missed 23 games before returning to action sooner than expected March 22, but he appeared in just two contests until being shut down again after experiencing renewed swelling in the knee. Hunter has since underwent another minor procedure on the knee, but the second-year forward doesn't look like he's made much major progress in his recovery over the past five weeks. According to Schlenk, Hunter hasn't had many opportunities of late to take part in 5-on-5 scrimmaging to gain confidence in the knee, so the 23-year-old looks destined to miss at least a few more games.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier in the week, GM Travis Schlenk told the media that Hunter could be ready to return before the end of the week, but his chances aren't looking great as the Hawks enter a Friday/Saturday back-to-back set. Of course, there's a chance Hunter could play Saturday versus Chicago, but if he remains out for that contest, his next chance to return would come Monday against Portland.

Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said that Hunter (knee) could be ready to return to game action by the end of the week, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on Schlenk's comments, Hunter looks like he can be ruled out for a 19th straight game Wednesday in Philadelphia, but the Hawks' Friday/Saturday back-to-back set with the 76ers and Bulls, respectively, could be a realistic target for the forward's return to the lineup. Given that he's now had two extended absences on account of his right knee, Hunter will probably be eased back into the rotation on a more limited minutes count. The second-year forward likely can't be counted on to replicate the production he delivered when healthy earlier this season, when he averaged 16.0 points, 5.1 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 31.3 minutes per game over his 20 appearances.

Hunter (knee) remains out for Monday's game against the Pistons, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

When Hunter underwent what the Hawks termed as a minor procedure for his right knee on April 5, head coach Nate McMillan said the forward would only miss "a couple of days." Three weeks later, Hunter remains sidelined, and the team has yet to provide a clear update on when he might be available to take the court. Given his sketchy timeline for a return along with uncertainty about what his role might look like when he's available to play, Hunter is tough to justify holding in most fantasy leagues at this stage of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter (knee) will not play Friday against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

The Hawks continue to evaluate Hunter on a game-by-game basis, but he hasn't played in almost a full month and there's been no indication that he's nearing a return.
