De'Andre Hunter News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Questionable for Monday Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.

Impact Hunter is still dealing with right knee soreness and might miss a second consecutive contest. If the 28-year-old forward remains sidelined, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Jaylon Tyson would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Won't play Saturday Hunter (knee) won't play Saturday versus the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Knee soreness will force Hunter to the sidelines for Saturday's game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's rematch with the Magic. Expect more minutes for Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance with Hunter unavailable Saturday.

Now questionable with knee injury Hunter is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to right knee soreness.

Impact It's not a good sign that Hunter was a late addition to Saturday's injury report, and his official status will be known closer to the 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Craig Porter and Lonzo Ball would be in line for more minutes off the bench if Hunter is unable to play.

Struggles in victory Hunter notched four points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 94-87 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Hunter was unable to have a positive impact, scoring no more than four points for the third time in the past six games. Despite a relatively consistent role, Hunter has been a non-factor for the majority of the season, currently sitting outside the top 200 in standard leagues. At best, he can be streamed in for points and threes.

Scores 16 off bench in win Hunter had 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 117-115 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Hunter provided a spark off the bench Friday, trailing only Jaylon Tyson in scoring during the Cavaliers' narrow win. After a disappointing two-game stretch of single-digit scoring, Hunter has found his form over the past two contests, averaging 16.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds on efficient shooting splits. With plenty of moving parts in Cleveland, getting the 28-year-old rolling would be a meaningful boost to the team's overall success.

Improved performance Wednesday Hunter notched 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-107 win over the 76ers.

Impact Hunter scored 17 points in the win, the most he has scored in his past 11 games. His red-hot start to the season is now a mere memory, having struggled to produce at a standard league level for the past month. In 14 games during that time, he has averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers, leaving him outside the top 200.

Poor showing in loss Hunter totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three assists over 18 minutes during Monday's 123-112 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Hunter continues to take a backseat for the Cavaliers with Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson comfortably ahead of him. To make matters worse for Hunter, Nae'Qwan Tomlin is trending up as well. With the Cavaliers struggling, Hunter may find himself on the trade block.

Effective in 22 minutes Hunter logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-116 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Hunter didn't see a big workload Tuesday, and that's been the case a lot lately. With the Cavaliers mostly healthy again, Hunter may struggle to be relevant outside of deeper formats. The emergence of Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson has really kept Hunter's appeal in check this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 16 points in return Hunter had 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 113-108 victory over Denver.

Impact Hunter returned after missing the previous game due to an illness, scoring 16 points, the most he has scored since Dec 22. After a strong start to the season, Hunter has regressed in recent times. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged just 11.4 points and 1.3 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard leagues.

Suiting up Friday Hunter (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Hunter missed Wednesday's win over the Suns due to an illness and was initially listed as questionable against Denver. However, he was upgraded to probable Friday morning and will officially return to action. Hunter has come off the bench in seven straight games, averaging 12.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.7 steals in 25.0 minutes during that stretch.

Questionable to play Friday Hunter (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Hunter was unable to play in Wednesday's win against the Suns due to an illness, but the veteran forward has a chance to return for Friday's home game. Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade and Sam Merrill would continue to see an uptick in minutes off the bench if Hunter is not cleared to play.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Hunter (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Bob Finnan of The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Hunter was a late addition to the injury report and will miss his first game since Nov. 24 on Wednesday. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill and Dean Wade are candidates for increased playing time. Hunter's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Nuggets.

Questionable with illness Hunter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns with an illness.

Impact Hunter is a very late addition to the injury report, so he'll be working against the clock to gain clearance for Wednesday's action. Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade could be needed for extra minutes if Hunter isn't feeling well enough to play.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nearly double-doubles Hunter had 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Spurs.

Impact This was a strong performance from Hunter, but his overall production has been a bit underwhelming. Part of the issue is that the Cavaliers have been getting a lot from players such as Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson. Hunter can be treated as a low-end fantasy contributor going forward.

Jarrett Allen had 27 points and 10 rebounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers held on to beat Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs 113-101

Explodes for 27 points Hunter supplied 27 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 139-132 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Hunter finally found his rhythm on the offensive end, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in the past 11 games. After a strong start to the season, Hunter's rapid decline in recent times has led to him being dropped in a number of leagues. While this performance doesn't make him a must-roster player, he is worth considering, especially if you simply need points and threes.

Returns Monday Hunter (face) has returned to Monday's game against the Hornets, per the broadcast.

Impact Hunter was elbowed in the face during the third quarter and briefly exited to the locker room. However, he returned to the court shortly thereafter and appears poised to finish the game.

Exits to locker room Hunter exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Hornets due to an apparent facial injury, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Hunter caught an elbow and walked to the locker room with a towel over his face. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If the 28-year-old forward is unable to check back in, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Sam Merrill are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production continues Hunter notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago.

Impact Hunter shifted to the bench Wednesday, a move that sounds as though it is going to hold, at least for the foreseeable future. After a strong start to the season, it appears as though the coaching staff is going in a different direction. In 13 appearances over the past month, Hunter is averaging 12.9 points and 1.9 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard formats.
