Dealt to Cleveland The Hawks traded Hunter to the Cavaliers in exchange for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, three second-round picks and two picks swaps Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Hunter is in the midst of the best season of his career, averaging 19.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 28.8 minutes across 37 appearances for the Hawks. The 26-year-old forward has also displayed impressive efficiency this season, posting 46.1/39.3/85.8 shooting splits. While Hunter has mostly come off the bench this season, his efficient outside shooting and quality perimeter defense will likely allow him to compete for a starting spot with Max Strus.

Productive in another start Hunter had 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 126-125 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Hunter has started in each of the Hawks' last two games and has scored at least 20 points both times, so he remains productive regardless of whether he's starting or playing off the bench. He's likely to remain in the starting lineup since Jalen Johnson (shoulder) won't return this season, and it's conceivable to expect an uptick in his touches and overall usage rate. Hunter has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last six appearances, averaging 20.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Young's fadeaway with 1.6 seconds left lifts Hawks to slump-busting 132-130 win over Pistons

Trae Young made a 23-foot fadeaway with 1.6 seconds left and scored 17 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, lifting the Atlanta Hawks to a 132-130 win over the Detroit Pistons

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Starting Monday Hunter will start in Monday's game against Detroit, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Hunter will receive the starting nod for the first time since Oct. 25 on Monday. The 27-year-old has been stellar off the bench this season, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 17.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 30.4 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 35 points Hunter provided 35 points (12-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Hunter returned from a one-game absence, leading the Hawks with a season-high 35 points off the bench. Both Trae Young (hamstring) and Dyson Daniels (ankle) were missing, meaning Hunter was left to shoulder the bulk of the offensive load. Through the first 32 games of the season, Hunter is putting up a career-high 19.2 points per game, providing Atlanta with a relatively consistent scoring threat as part of the second unit.

Good to go against Minnesota Hunter (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact An illness prevented Hunter from playing in Saturday's game against the Raptors, but he has recovered enough to suit up for Monday's contest. He has averaged 14.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.7 minutes per game since and including Jan. 1.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Timberwolves Hunter (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Hunter could miss a second consecutive game due to an illness. David Roddy, Vit Krejci and Bogdan Bogdanovic could see increased minutes if Hunter remains sidelined.

Won't play against Toronto Hunter (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Hunter popped up on Saturday morning's injury report due to an illness, and it appears to be serious enough for him to not play. His next chance to take the court will be Monday against the Timberwolves. David Roddy, Vit Krejci and Bogdan Bogdanovic should see increased minutes off the bench due to Hunter's injury.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against Toronto Hunter is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Raptors due to an illness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Hunter is in danger of missing Saturday's contest after contracting an illness overnight. With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) already ruled out, David Roddy could receive increased playing time against Toronto.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid again off bench Hunter scored 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), dished one assist and blocked one shot in 30 minutes of action during the 119-110 loss to the Knicks on Monday.

Impact Hunter certainly didn't lose his scoring touch during his two-game absence due to a foot injury last week. The forward is averaging 19 points on 46.4 percent shooting from the field between the two contests since his return. However, he was unable to contribute in other areas of the game Monday, which certainly impacted his fantasy performance, particularly in category leagues. He'll look to deliver a more balanced stat sheet Wednesday against the Pistons.

JANUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 16 points in return Hunter (foot) tallied 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two steals and one assist in 32 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 119-115 overtime win over the Celtics.

Impact Hunter had missed the Hawks' previous two games with left foot soreness, but he operated with no restrictions in his return Saturday, with his 32 minutes off the bench leading all Atlanta reserves. Though Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) looks set to miss additional games, Hunter appears poised to stick in his sixth-man role while Vit Krejci replaces Risacher on the top unit. In any case, Hunter's playing time should remain stable, so he'll continue to make for a useful streaming option for points and three-pointers in 10-team leagues or shallower where he might still be on the waiver wire.

JANUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up Saturday Hunter (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Impact The Hawks will be close to full strength Saturday for this marquee matchup, as Trae Young (ribs) and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will be available, too. Hunter will return from a two-game absence and will aim to bounce back from a slow start in January, as he's averaging 14.0 points per game while shooting 35.5 percent from the floor in five contests this month.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Saturday Hunter (foot) is probable for Saturday's game versus Boston.

Impact Trae Young (ribs) is also probable, while Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable, so the Hawks could have some reinforcements versus Boston. Hunter missed the past two games for Atlanta, and he'll be looking to find his form after a slow start to January -- he's hitting 35.5 percent from the field over his last five games.

JANUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Wednesday Hunter (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact After Hunter was a late scratch Tuesday against the Suns, he'll end up missing his second straight contest. The Hawks are going to be very shorthanded Wednesday, as Trae Young (ribs), Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Zaccharie Risacher (shoulder) are also sidelined. Vit Krejci, David Roddy and Garrison Mathews could all be heavily involved Wednesday.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Tuesday Hunter has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Suns due to left foot soreness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Hunter was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest, and his next opportunity to feature will come in Wednesday's game against the Bulls. The 27-year-old has been spectacular off the bench for Atlanta this season, and the club will likely have to rely heavily on Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrison Mathews in the second unit with Hunter sidelined.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes in defeat Hunter provided 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Suns.

Impact Hunter delivered a poor shooting night, though he did record a season-high four assists. The 27-year-old also racked up two steals, and he has logged multiple steals in three of his last six appearances. The Sixth Man of the Year candidate is on pace for a career-best year, during which he has averaged 19.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals across a career-low 27.8 minutes per contest in 27 regular-season outings.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 18 points from bench Hunter produced 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 131-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Although Hunter plays exclusively with the second unit, he's one of Atlanta's most consistent scorers and has a very dependable floor for fantasy purposes. A 10-game absence earlier in the season took him off the fantasy radar, but he's averaged a reliable 20.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists since his return to action.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing in loss Wednesday Hunter recorded 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The sixth-year pro led the Hawks' second unit in points while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Trae Young (30 points). Hunter is on pace to record a career-best year, and he has logged 16 outings with 20 or more points thus far. Over his last 10 outings, the 27-year-old has averaged 22.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals across 27.6 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot in win Hunter finished with 22 points, three rebounds, three steals and two assists in a blowout win against the Raptors on the road.

Impact Hunter has scored 22 points or more in five of his last six games for the Hawks. The 27-year-old continues to be one of the most consistent players for Atlanta this season, as he's carved out a role as the team's sixth man and one of the best players in the NBA in that role.
