Hunter came off the bench to score 15 points, with two boards and three turnovers, during Saturday's home loss to Northern Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday marked Hunter's season debut with the Red Claws. It was Hunters first game for Maine since the 2015-16 season. The outside shooter fills the two-way contract void created by the surprise release of Walt Lemon Jr. back in November. Earlier this season, Hunter played 22 games for Erie, averaging 22 points, 2.0 steals, and 3.3 made threes per game.

Hunter is signing a two-way contract with the Celtics on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former first-round pick will look to get another chance with the Celtics, who originally drafted him out of Georgia State in 2015. Hunter will probably see a majority of the season in the G League however, with an occasional call-up likely.

The Hawks opted to waive Hunter on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter, a former first-round pick, has yet to find a home as he enters his fourth year in the NBA. He was looking to earn a role providing depth in the Hawks' backcourt, but now appears destined to start the season in the G-League.

Hunter is expected to sign with the Hawks on Friday, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former first-round draft pick will be entering his fourth NBA season this year after spending the previous three seasons with three different squads. In 2017-18, Hunter dropped 3.8 points and 1.0 assist per game across five outings with the Rockets.

Hunter was waived by the Rockets on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has struggled to find NBA run since being drafted 28th overall by the Celtics in 2015. Over the past two years, he's appeared in eight NBA games, spending most of his time in the G-League. However, despite averaging just over 20 points per game for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets' G-League affiliate, the organization apparently didn't feel he was worth the investment.

Hunter had a game-high 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-11 3PT, 3-3 FT) in Sunday's summer league win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter was quiet in Houston's first contest, but he got things going from beyond the arc Sunday, connective on five three-pointers in 25 minutes of action. The former Georgia State standout is the definition of a score-first guard, and he added just one rebound, one assist and one steal to his 24 points Sunday.

Hunter netted 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 30 minutes in a 96-83 loss to the Kings on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After having spent the majority of his season in the G-League, Hunter got to run with the first unit in the finale with the Rockets resting all of their front-line players. The 24-year-old posted a slew of career highs with the extended opportunity, but he's highly likely to be left out of the postseason rotation altogether.

Hunter has been promoted to the starting five for Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Kings, Rockets play-by-play announcer Craig Ackerman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter has seen action in just four games for the Rockets this season, spending most of the year in the G-League with the team's affiliate. However, with Houston sitting eight players in the regular-season finale for rest ahead of the playoffs, Hunter will get the call with top unit and should be slated for a monster workload. Look for the third-year guard to see all the minutes he can handle, giving him temporary viability in fantasy contests for the time being.

Hunter was recalled from the G-League on Sunday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hunter finished the G-League regular season playing in 45 games, while averaging 20.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals across 30.8 minutes. With the G-League playoffs set to start later in the week, Hunter will temporarily rejoin the Rockets. That said, he's not a member of the regular rotation and won't see the floor unless a blowout were to occur.
