De’Andre Hunter Misses Game Due To Birth Of Child

Hawks forward De’Andre Hunter missed his eighth straight game tonight, but it was due to “personal family reasons” rather than the right knee issue he has been dealing with, according to Lauren Williams of The Journal-Constitution. Hunter and his partner welcomed their first child Saturday morning, and he’s making sure the mother and baby are both OK. Williams adds that Hunter was hoping to return to action this week if the baby hadn’t arrived and he now expects to play next week.
