MARCH 24, 2022 • Associated Press

Fails to replicate performance Huerter posted eight points (3-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to Detroit.

Impact Huerter suppled an efficient 14 points against the Knicks on Tuesday but struggled with his shot Wednesday. Atlanta, as a team, shot just 40.2 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc. Huerter will look to bounce back against the Warriors on Friday.

Bogdanovic scores 30 as Hawks beat Morant, Grizzlies 120-105

Bogdan Bogdanovic scored a season-high 30 points, Delon Wright had 18 and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Memphis Grizzlies 120-105

MARCH 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Returns to game Huerter (back) has returned to Friday's game against Memphis, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Huerter dealt with a low back strain in the first quarter but was able to return to the court midway through the second quarter. Given the brevity of his absence, he should be able to handle a relatively normal workload as long as he doesn't aggravate his injury.

Questionable to return Huerter is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to a low back strain, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Huerter exited Friday's matchup in the first quarter, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return. If he's held out for the remainder of the game, Lou Williams and Bogdan Bogdanovic should see increased run.

Another double-digit scoring effort Huerter totaled 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Hornets.

Impact With Trae Young struggling to get anything going Wednesday, Huerter's 16 points were the third most on the team behind De'Andre Hunter (21 points) and Clint Capela (17 points). He's registered four three-pointers in four of the last five games and continues to shoot a high percentage from behind the arc. Huerter should continue to get open looks from deep going forward in his floor-spacing role in the offense.

Returns with solid outing Huerter accumulated 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Huerter made at least four triples for the 11th time this season during his return to action following a one-game absence due to left shoulder tightness. While Danilo Gallinari (36) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (31) still played more minutes than Huerter off the bench, the 2018 first-round pick out-produced the aforementioned duo. He didn't appear to be limited at all and figures to garner his usual floor-spacing role moving forward.

Dealing with left shoulder soreness Huerter exited Friday's win over the Wizards due to left shoulder soreness, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Huerter went to the locker room in the second half of Friday's matchup and was unable to return to close out the game. He totaled five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist in 22 minutes prior to his departure. Coach Nate McMillan is hopeful that Huerter's injury isn't serious, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Monday against the Pistons.

Solid in win Huerter notched 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 130-124 win over Chicago.

Impact After scoring just nine points and fouling out amid an inefficient outing against the Celtics on Tuesday, Huerter bounced back in a signature win over the Bulls on Thursday. One of six Hawks to score in double figures Thursday, Huerter exceeded 15 points for the first time in over a month. Slashing 45.8/37.5/81.1 percent, Huerter is seeing lessened usage, but the highest efficiency of his career in 2021-22.

Hawks hope to improve playoff standing in key 4-game stretch

The Atlanta Hawks are hoping for a top-six spot in the NBA's Eastern Conference playoffs

Solid shooting performance in win Huerter managed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-109 win over Orlando.

Impact Huerter finished with an effective shooting performance during the victory, as the guard's 15 points were the most he has totaled since posting 19 points against the Suns on Feb. 3. The Maryland product scored in double figures in five of the past six matchups with the Hawks and is averaging 12.0 points during that span.

Fills stat sheet in win Huerter closed with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-116 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Huerter was efficient from the field and managed to leave his mark in other categories as well. Relegated to a secondary scoring role, the versatile defender has found ways to make an impact even if his fantasy upside isn't as high as it was last season, but overall, this year has been a disappointment for him. Huerter is averaging 11.9 points while shooting just 37.8 percent from the field across seven games in February.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Huerter recently compiled 45 points over a two-game stretch, but he's followed up with a combined 18 points on 7-for-21 shooting from the field over the subsequent two contests. The Hawks have kept Huerter in the starting five even with Bogdan Bogdanovic now several games removed from a knee injury, but the 23-year-old's playing time may be too volatile to make him a must-roster option in 12-team leagues, especially when his shot isn't falling. In addition to Bogdanovic, the likes of De'Andre Hunter, Lou Williams (hamstring), Delon Wright and Danilo Gallinari are all threats to Huerter's minutes, to varying degrees.

Lights out from distance Huerter logged 26 points (9-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Monday's 106-100 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Huerter bounced back from three straight single-digit performances with his highest scoring output since Dec. 5. The fourth-year wing is averaging 11.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 28.8 minutes per game, which is nearly identical to his last three years of production with Atlanta.
