12 De'Andre Hunter SF

Hunter will undergo a minor procedure on his right knee Monday, Mike Conti of the Hawks Radio Network reports.

The exact nature of the procedure remains unclear, but coach Nate McMillan mostly downplayed it, noting that it's only expected to keep Hunter out for "a couple of days." Hunter made his return to action back on March 22 but only lasted two games before the knee forced him back to the sideline. He's now missed the last six games, and while Monday's surgery is not considered season-ending, it further complicates his return-to-play timeline. At this stage, it's probably safe to rule Hunter out for at least one more week, though it wouldn't be surprising if his absence extends later into April.

Hunter has taken the floor in the last two games after a 23-game absence due to knee surgery.

Hunter has scored a combined 10 points on 13 field-goal attempts over the last two games.

Hunter (knee) posted eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound, an assist and a steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's 119-110 loss to the Clippers.

Tony Snell performed well during Hunter's 23-game absence, but the Hawks still must be thrilled to have the 23-year-old back in the lineup. Before being sidelined with a right knee injury that required surgery, the 2019 lottery pick was an influential two-way catalyst and a mainstay in the starting five to begin the season. The team will play it cautiously with Hunter and cap his minutes in the short term, but barring any setbacks, he should see his playing time creep back up to 30-to-35 minutes per game after another handful of appearances.

Hunter (knee) will play in Monday's matchup against the Clippers and will be limited to roughly 20 minutes, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

Hunter was considered a game-time call and has seemingly answered whatever questions the Hawks' training staff had during warmups. He has not played since Jan. 29, so his minutes restriction is certainly not surprising as he eases back into the swing of things.

Hunter (knee) will be a game-time call for Monday's game against the Clippers, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports noted Monday morning that Hunter will make his return against the Clippers, but it looks as though that report may have been a bit premature. Hunter has since clarified that he'll go through pregame warmups and assess how his knee feels before making a final call on his status. The second-year forward has not played since Jan. 29 and was off to an encouraging start before suffering a meniscus injury.

Hunter (knee) will make his return to action Monday night against the Clippers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

The Hawks are yet to officially confirm Hunter's status, but it looks as though the second-year forward will be back in the rotation for the first time since Jan. 29. Hunter underwent knee surgery in early February and has been gradually working his way back to full strength. He'll likely face some initial restrictions but could be worth re-inserting into fantasy lineups by this time next week.

Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.

Last week, there were some rumblings that Hunter might return to action, but he ultimately needed a bit more time as he works back from right knee surgery. Hunter progressed to full-speed scrimmaging, but he's yet to be fully cleared for game action. That clearance could come Monday, but the Hawks will wait to see how the second-year forward feels at shootaround before updating his status. Hunter has not played since Jan. 29.

Hunter (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Hunter (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

Earlier in the week, GM Travis Schlenk intimated that Hunter might be able to return for Thursday's contest, but it looks like the wing will need a bit more time to work back from surgery on his right knee. When asked about Hunter's chances to play Thursday, coach Nate McMillan responded: "I haven't heard that. He's been working out, he's getting closer, but playing [Thursday]? That's something we haven't really talked much about." For now, consider Hunter day-to-day as the Hawks look ahead to an eight-game Western Conference road trip that begins Saturday in Los Angeles.

Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said Hunter (knee) could be ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup as soon as Thursday against the Thunder, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

Hunter received good news earlier this month when doctors determined he wouldn't require a second platelet-rich plasma injection for his surgically repaired right knee, but the fact that he's this close to a return comes as a surprise, as the expectation was that he would be sidelined until later in March. After the Hawks play in Houston on Tuesday, Hunter likely will be evaluated in practice Wednesday before a decision is made on his status for Thursday. Considering he's been sidelined for the last 20 games, Hunter may not take on his old high-minute starting role at small forward immediately upon being cleared, but he'll still be a worthwhile speculative pickup in fantasy leagues where he might have been dropped. Before requiring meniscus surgery, Hunter was enjoying a breakout sophomore campaign, averaging 17.2 points (on 51.4 percent shooting from the field), 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.7 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 32.2 minutes.
