Hunter won't play Monday against the Pacers due to right knee soreness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter was initially absent from Monday's injury report but has now been scratched less than an hour ahead of tipoff. It'll be the first absence since Jan. 9 for the 24-year-old, and his next chance to retake the court will come Wednesday at Oklahoma City. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Jalen Johnson should see increased run for Atlanta with John Collins (finger/foot) and Danilo Gallinari (elbow) also sidelined.
