Impact Hunter was a late scratch ahead of Monday's contest and is in jeopardy of missing a second straight game.

Late scratch Monday Hunter won't play Monday against the Pacers due to right knee soreness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunter was initially absent from Monday's injury report but has now been scratched less than an hour ahead of tipoff. It'll be the first absence since Jan. 9 for the 24-year-old, and his next chance to retake the court will come Wednesday at Oklahoma City.

Empty 15 points in loss Hunter finished with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Hunter trailed only Trae Young (21 points) in scoring, with the rest of the starting lineup combining for just 12 points.

Impact Hunter paced the Hawks in scoring Wednesday, as Trae Young crashed back down to earth following his back-to-back 45-plus point outings. The 24-year-old has now posted double-digit scoring efforts in eight consecutive games, and his four three-pointers were his most since Nov. 3, 2021. Hunter won't be able to carry the Hawks to wins without Young's usual contributions, but his improved efficiency from the field is encouraging as his team vies for a playoff spot.

Impact Hunter failed to score from the field for the second time in three games, and he's shooting 4-for-23 during this stretch. In February, he posted shooting splits of just 39/31/80, so Tuesday's performance is a continuation of a troubling downward trend for the young wing.

Impact Hunter's 27 minutes of action were the most amongst Hawks' staters, and his 14 points marked a fourth straight game in double figures. During his recent four outings, the Virginia product is averaging 13.0 points with a high of 18 points coming Tuesday against Cleveland. Aside from his solid offensive play, however, the forward wasn't much of a factor, and he's only averaging 3.3 rebounds across his last four outings.

Little else outside of 18 points Hunter posted 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes Tuesday in the Hawks' 124-116 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Though Hunter came through with his second-best scoring output in his last 11 games, his lack of peripheral statistics continues to cap his fantasy upside. The Hawks will likely keep leaning on Hunter for secondary offense while John Collins (foot) is out through the All-Star break, but fantasy managers seeking help in the nonscoring categories are better off seeking help elsewhere. Hunter has posted modest averages of 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, 0.6 steals and 0.0 blocks through seven February games.
