Coach Nate McMillan said Hunter (knee) didn't practice Friday because he was dealing with soreness, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter made his preseason debut Wednesday and scored eight points in 26 minutes of action. His absence from practice is likely precautionary, but fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the preseason. The 23-year-old will probably be a game-time decision for Saturday's exhibition game against the Grizzlies.
