Hunter (knee), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, took part in the team's morning shootaround, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter's involvement in shootaround bodes well for his chances of playing Tuesday, but clarity on his status won't arrive until shortly before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. The fifth-year forward hasn't played since Dec. 20 due to a right knee injury that necessitated a non-surgical procedure, so even if he's cleared to play Tuesday, he could come off the bench and will presumably have his minutes monitored closely.
