Hunter (illness) had 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist over 19 minutes in Friday's G League loss to Fort Wayne.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter missed Saturday's win as a result of an illness, but he wasn't forced to sit out any further contests as he was able to return to the court against the Mad Ants. The 26-year-old's production has been boosted by back-to-back games with two conversions on shots from beyond the arc, but his overall impact has been limited as he's averaging 7.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.

Hunter signed a one-year contract with Turkish club Turk Telekom B.K. in late June, Jay King and Jared Weiss of The Athletic report.
EDGE Analysis
A 2015 first-round selection by the Celtics in 2015, Hunter made it only one year into his rookie deal before Boston cut him prior to the 2016-17 season. He's since bounced around to Bulls, Rockets, Hawks and back to the Celtics over the past three years, playing nine games in total at the NBA level over that stretch. Rather than settling on a training-camp deal or two-way contract stateside, Hunter will head overseas to Turkey, where he'll presumably receive a more lucrative payday.

Hunter tallied 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal over 26 minutes Tuesday against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter got a chance for extended minutes with the Celtics electing to rest the good majority of their rotation players in the season finale, and he made the most of his opportunities. He finished the contest tied for the team lead in points and contributed across the board in a 116-110 victory. Unfortunately for the Georgia State product, he's unlikely to see much, if any, playing time in the postseason.
