Hawks' De'Andre Hunter: Starting against Phoenix

Hunter will start Thursday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Jalen Johnson is expected to miss at least a week of action with a right ankle sprain, so Hunter could be looking at a sizable increase in minutes and usage in the short term. Hunter has fared well in March, averaging 16.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.
