EDGE Analysis

Hunter had been sidelined since Nov. 14 due to a wrist injury, and while he struggled from the field in this one, he still delivered a strong stat line from a scoring perspective. The third-year forward should ramp up from a conditioning perspective considering his lengthy absence, and it wouldn't be strange if he keeps coming off the bench in a few more games before eventually reclaiming his starting role.
