Listed as questionable again Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable to play Monday against Detroit, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Hunter logged a standard workload Saturday versus Cleveland in his return from a three-game absence due to knee soreness, so his inclusion on Sunday's injury report could be mostly precautionary. He joins Clint Capela (knee) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) as questionable.

Impact Hunter had a brief scare when he banged knees with Max Strus in Saturday's contest, but he continued playing and appears to be no worse for the wear despite just returning from a three-game absence due to right knee soreness. Hunter delivering well-balanced scoring efforts is a swing factor for Atlanta's success, especially while Jalen Johnson (wrist) remains out.

Impact With Trae Young (illness) sidelined Friday, Hunter scored a team-high 24 points (9-18 FG) in a loss to Philadelphia. However, he's now in danger of missing his first game of the season, while Trae Young is slated to return to action Monday. If Hunter is sidelined, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Wesley Matthews would be candidates for increased roles.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer in loss Hunter racked up 24 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Friday's 125-114 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Hunter led the Hawks in scoring Friday with Trae Young (illness) out for the game, and the former has now scored in double digits in eight straight games. That's Hunter's main contribution to Atlanta and he's managed to play 31-plus minutes in three straight games.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Atlanta in scoring Hunter recorded 18 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 128-105 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Hunter was one of two Atlanta players who scored 18 points in a woeful showing offensively for the Hawks, and while Hunter's final stat line was decent, he had a fair share of struggles from beyond the arc. Hunter was coming off three consecutive outings with 20 or more points before Tuesday, so he is currently going through his most productive scoring stretch of the campaign.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 24 points Hunter amassed 24 points (7-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-103 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Hunter is officially hot, scoring at least 20 points in three straight games. In that span, Hunter is posting averages of 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.3 three-pointers. With Jalen Johnson out for several weeks due to a wrist injury, Hunter looks ready to take on a larger role for the Hawks.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in 20 points Hunter recorded 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 win over the Wizards.

Impact Hunter has been on a mini heater over the past two games, averaging 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers while shooting 55.5 percent from the field. Jalen Johnson suffered a wrist injury Saturday and it's unclear if he'll miss time, so the Hawks may need Hunter to continue providing more offensive firepower.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Big double-double against Nets Hunter finished with 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 147-145 overtime victory over Brooklyn.

Impact It's the first double-double of the season for Hunter, and it came along with his best scoring effort since he dropped 27 on the Knicks back on Oct. 27. The 25-year-old had scored in single digits in three straight games coming into Wednesday, however, and that inconsistency comes with the territory as a secondary option in an offense dominated by Trae Young and Dejounte Murray.

NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ejected Friday Hunter was ejected from Friday's game against the 76ers with two technical fouls in the second quarter. He finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 18 minutes...

Impact Hunter was unhappy with the officiating and let his emotions get the best of him. He'll be back in action Tuesday against the Pacers. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Saddiq Bey will pick up most of the slack in the second half.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited production in defeat Hunter ended with five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 116-114 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Hunter scored 15-plus points in four of his first five appearances of the season but has been much more inconsistent since then, as he's scored in double figures in just three of his last six outings while also struggling to generate consistency in secondary categories. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 9.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 31.0 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in win Hunter contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 win over Detroit.

Impact Despite seeing a consistent workload, Hunter was averaging just 8.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in his last four contests. With Trae Young (personal) out Tuesday, Hunter received a bump in usage while also matching his career high with five assists. The 25-year-old is an important piece of Atlanta's lineups, but his contributions are rarely flashy.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles against Thunder Hunter notched eight points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two rebounds over 33 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Thunder.

Impact This was Hunter's second dud in a row, as he was held to four points in 30 minutes against the Pelicans on Saturday. However, he's been pretty solid overall this season, averaging 14.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Hunter (hand) returned to the bench Saturday against the Pelicans, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Heads to locker room Hunter headed to the locker room in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to an apparent right hand injury, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network re...

Impact Hunter tried to dribble through CJ McCollum and got picked off, but he immediately grabbed his hand and looked in pain, to the point that he went straight to the locker room holding his hand. If he can't return, then AJ Griffin and Bogdan Bogdanovic would be in line to see extra minutes.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores team-high 27 points Hunter amassed 27 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 126-120 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Trae Young struggled from the field and Dejounte Murray didn't have his best performance, so Hunter stepped his game up and led Atlanta in scoring despite the tight defeat against New York. Hunter bounced back from a subpar season-opening performance against the Celtics during which he scored just nine points across 31 minutes. Don't expect Hunter to lead the Hawks offensively going forward, but he's capable of big performances from time to time.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 16 points Monday Hunter posted 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and three rebounds across 20 minutes in Monday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact Hunter scored nearly half of his points from the charity stripe and didn't do much else, but he's simply trying to finish the preseason in the best possible shape. He's likely locked into the starting small forward spot to begin the regular season.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to action Hunter (knee) is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against Indiana, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
