The Atlanta Hawks received the worst news on De’Andre Hunter prior to Game 3. He had some minor swelling in his knee per the Hawks update and underwent an MRI. This revealed another small tear in his lateral meniscus.

This means that Hunter is undergoing surgery and is now out for the entire postseason. In a recent article, I wrote that he was one player who could still heat up in the postseason, assuming he could return. That hope has now been dashed with this news

The Hawks would like to get Cam Reddish back which would ease some of this blow, but it is still unknown when he is likely to return.
