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

To have bench role moving forward Hunter will come off the bench Wednesday against Chicago and for the foreseeable future, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact The Cavs have lost six of their previous nine games, and they're shaking up the starting five amid the cold spell. That means Hunter will come off the bench for the first time all season, with Jaylon Tyson stepping into the starting role. Hunter will continue to come off the bench going forward.

Struggles with shot Friday Hunter registered 15 points (4-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds in 27 minutes during Friday's 130-126 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Hunter reached the 15-point mark for the first time in December, but he continues to struggle with his shot. The veteran forward plays a secondary role in the Cavaliers' offensive scheme, but his ability to knock down outside shots certainly opens up possibilities for the rest of the players. The numbers back up the struggles, so they're not just perception-based. Over five games in December, Hunter is averaging 11.0 points per game while shooting 35.3 percent from the floor and a mere 22.2 percent from three-point range.

Passive performance in win Hunter posted 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during Friday's 130-117 win over San Antonio.

Impact Hunter logged just 21 minutes as he dealt with some early foul issues, scoring fewer than 15 points for the fourth straight game. After a strong start to the season, Hunter's production has regressed of late, averaging 12.5 points and 1.8 three-pointers in six games over the past two weeks. He is worth holding in most leagues, given the potential scoring upside. However, his overall fantasy game remains limited, meaning he could be a drop candidate in very specific situations.

Quiet outing in loss Hunter logged eight points (3-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to Boston.

Impact Prior to Sunday, Hunter was on fire offensively, averaging 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.5 threes on a blistering 50.0 percent clip in his last four appearances. While Hunter was inevitably slated to cool down, he will look to bounce back Monday against the Pacers.

Cleared to play Hunter (rest) is good to go for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Hunter is no longer appearing on the injury report after missing Monday's game against the Raptors for maintenance. Hunter is averaging 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest.

Resting vs. Raptors Hunter (rest) is out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Hunter is getting the night off after logging 29 minutes in Sunday's win over the Clippers. In all likelihood, the forward will be back in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Hawks. Hunter's absence Monday should free up enough playing time to get Dean Wade (knee) onto most streaming radars if the latter suits up.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 17 points in win Hunter amassed 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers.

Impact Darius Garland didn't have his best scoring performance in this win, so Hunter needed to step up again, but the veteran forward continues to make a big impact for the Cavaliers on offense. Hunter has scored in double digits in eight of his last nine outings, averaging 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.7 steals per game over that stretch.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 20 points in win Hunter closed with 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Hunter has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games for the second time this season, and his longest streak this season in that regard is a three-game stretch between Nov. 8 and Nov. 12. The veteran wing has done a good job adjusting to a starting role with the Cavs this season after being a key reserve in 2024-25. Hunter is averaging 18.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game since the beginning of November.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 25 point in loss Hunter racked up 25 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Hunter played well after an unimpressive 11-point night Monday. He led the Cavs in scoring by catching fire from beyond the arc, setting a new season high in made triples. This marks the fifth time this year he's reached the 20-point threshold through 13 games.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 11 in win Hunter totaled 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Monday's 118-106 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Hunter has cooled down offensively, averaging 10 points in his last two games after going on a streak averaging 22.3 points in the previous four. While that miniature offensive explosion can likely be attributed to various absences among the starting lineup, it is encouraging to see that Hunter is capable of such offensive production, and he would be a priority-add if any of the other starters were to miss an extended period of time.

Puts up 21 points in win Hunter supplied 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 win over Miami.

Impact Hunter embraced a bigger role on offense due to the absences of Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest) and Darius Garland (toe) to surpass the 20-point mark for the third straight contest. Hunter is making the most of his steady role in the starting lineup and has been a pleasant surprise from a fantasy perspective. Through nine games, Hunter is averaging 19.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

Scores season-high 29 points Hunter produced 29 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 128-122 win over Chicago.

Impact Hunter returned from a one-game absence against the Wizards on Friday but was limited to eight points. He certainly showed the illness is way past him with this performance in the second leg of a back-to-back set. The 29-point output was a season-best effort for Hunter, and he's looking like a reliable offensive weapon for Cleveland, as he's scored at least 16 points in five of his seven appearances this season.

Suiting up vs. Washington Hunter (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Impact Hunter will be available for the Cavaliers after a one-game absence. The veteran wing is enjoying a strong start to the season with averages of 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in five starts in 2025-26.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Friday Hunter (illness) is probable to play Friday against the Wizards.

Impact Hunter missed Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness, but the probable tag suggests he should be able to return after a one-game absence. Hunter is averaging 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in five starts in 2025-26.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Hunter (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Hunter is dealing with an illness that will keep him sidelined. The team will likely give Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade more time on the floor in Hunter's absence.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy due to illness Hunter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Hunter was a late addition to the injury report. It's possible the Cavaliers evaluate him after warmups before a decision is made on his status. Sam Merrill (hip) is also questionable, so the Cavaliers could be pretty shorthanded on the wings unless they get some good news on these forwards.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high three steals Hunter accumulated 19 points (5-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Hunter extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to five games to begin the new campaign, also submitting a season high in steals. Max Strus (foot) is still likely several weeks away from making his season debut, giving Hunter a considerable runway to hold down a starting role. On the season, Hunter has averaged 18.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.2 minutes per game.
