The 23-year-old will be sidelined for the fourth straight game after suffering the right knee injury last week.

Hunter (knee) underwent an MRI, which revealed articular wear and tear in his right knee, and he'll be reviewed next week following a non-surgical procedure Saturday morning.
EDGE Analysis
Right knee soreness forced Hunter to leave Friday's game early, and it turns out he was dealing with an issue significant enough to keep him out at least a week. While Hunter is sidelined, Cam Reddish and Danilo Gallinari could see extra run.

Hunter was ruled out for the second half of Friday's game against Washington due to right knee soreness, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter sat out the final several minutes of the first half Friday, and the team announced that he won't return for the second half of the game. Prior to his departure, he recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 12 minutes. It's not yet clear whether his knee issue will impact his availability for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Hunter recorded 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 45 minutes during Wednesday's 132-128 OT loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games, and he's shooting 55.1 percent from the field over this stretch. This season, he's made strides as a scorer from inside the arc, increasing his two-point percentage and getting to the free-throw line almost twice as much as last season.

Hunter posted 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was one of the big reasons why the Hawks came away with the win against one of the top teams in The Association. As if that wasn't enough, Hunter has scored 20 or more points in three of his last four contests. He has taken a massive leap compared to last season and is one of the Hawks' main scoring threats on a game-to-game basis.

Hunter delivered 33 points (13-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 42 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter took on a bigger role offensively with Trae Young (back) sidelined, and he responded by pouring a career-best scoring mark. Hunter has quietly emerged as one of the Hawks' top offensive threats this season, scoring in double digits in every game and topping the 15-point mark in nine of his last 11 contests.

Hunter (knee) is available to play Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has only missed one game so far this season despite being bothered by right knee soreness. The 23-year-old is off the injury report for Sunday's game, so he should see his average of around 31.7 minutes per game.

Hunter (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter continues to be bothered by right knee soreness, but he played through the issue Friday against the Timberwolves, posting 11 points, four steals, three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes. If he ends up sitting this time around, expect Danilo Gallinari, Solomon Hill and Tony Snell to see more usage.

Hunter compiled 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 116-98 victory over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was back for the Hawks and slotted straight into the starting lineup. His minutes were down slightly. However, that was simply a result of the game descending into garbage time. Hunter is putting together a strong season despite the depth he is competing with. He should not be on any waiver wires and if that is the case in your league, make sure you do something about it.

Hunter (knee) will play Friday against the Timberwolves without a minutes restriction, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was questionable for Friday's matchup, but coach Lloyd Pierce said before the game that he'll be active with no restrictions. The 23-year-old will return to the floor after missing just one game and should continue to play a key role for Atlanta.
