Coach Nate McMillan said that Hunter (non-COVID illness) returned to practice Tuesday and will go on the team's upcoming road trip, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter was sidelined for the Hawks' win over the Pistons on Monday, but it appears he will be available for Atlanta's road trip, which starts Wednesday in New Orleans and includes three games in four days. The 23-year-old forward scored in double figures during the first two games of the season, but he shot just 37.0 percent from the field. Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish both saw extended minutes during his absence and played well, which could put Hunter's starting spot in jeopardy.
