In uniform for warmups Hunter (coach's decision) is dressed and is going through warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against Northwestern, Dustin Dopirak of The Athletic reports.
Impact It is worth noting that Hunter went through warmups prior to last Sunday's game against Iowa, but ultimately did not take the floor due to a coach's decision. Even if Hunter plays, it's unclear realistically how many minutes he would get.

Doesn't play despite warming up Hunter (coach's decision) was dressed and went through warmups ahead of Sunday's tilt with Iowa but didn't play for a second straight game, Dustin Dopirak of The Daily Hoosier repo...
Impact Hunter is not injured but is being benched as a disciplinary measure. It's unclear when he could be expected back in the rotation but it's clear head coach Archie Miller is sticking with his word and won't be giving Hunter any minutes until he sees changes in him as a person and player.

Spotted during warmups Hunter (coach's decision) was seen participating in warmups ahead of Sunday's tilt with Iowa, Jon Blau of The Bloomington Herald-Times reports.
Impact Hunter has been one of the Hoosiers' primary bench players this season but did not enter Tuesday's loss to Illinois due to a "coach's decision." It's unclear what exactly is going on with Hunter but head coach Archie Miller relayed to reporters after the game that he won't see the floor again until he figures out how to lead himself the right way and is able to see the bigger picture in terms of protecting the team at all times. Clearly this appears to be a disciplinary move, so despite taking part in Sunday's early warmups, it seems unlikely Hunter will end up playing.

Healthy scratch against Illinois Hunter did not see the court Tuesday against Illinois due to what Archie Miller described as a "coach's decision," Chris Sims of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Hunter has been one of the top reserve options for the Hoosiers this season, averaging 5.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.4 mpg across 16 appearances. It sounds like this instance isn't just a one-and-done, and that the sophomore forward could continue to face disciplinary actions from the team. Miller said after the game (in reference to Hunter) that "he's not going to take the floor again until the coach feels that he's in the right frame of mind to, No. 1, lead himself the right way, and, No. 2, has the bigger picture in mind in terms of protecting our team at all times." In Hunter's absence, Jordan Geronimo may see a bit more run off the bench, as his 13 minutes Tuesday were the freshman's highest total of Big Ten play.

Not warming up Tuesday Hunter isn't participating in warmups ahead of Tuesday's game against Illinois, Jon Blau of The Bloomington Herald-Times reports.
Impact Hunter was spotted on the sidelines during the Hoosiers' pregame activities, thus likely deeming the forward out for this one. It's unclear why exactly Hunter will probably miss Tuesday's matchup, but should be considered day-to-day moving forward.
