Kevin Huerter Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Bulls vs Hornets game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 3, 2025
To miss one week of action
Huerter (hamstring) will miss at least one week of action before he's re-evaluated, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This means Huerter will miss at least the next three games for Chicago. If his re-evaluation goes well, a return against the Hornets on Dec. 12 could be on the table. Hamstring injuries can linger if not properly treated, so the Bulls could be cautious, to be clear. Ayo Dosunmu could take on a larger role in the meantime.
Dec 2, 2025
Out with hamstring strain
Huerter (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
After leaving Monday's game against the Magic, Huerter has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. For the moment, there's no indication he's facing an extended absence. With Huerter out Wednesday, Ayo Dosunmu and Tre Jones appear to be locked into significant minutes for the injury-riddled Bulls.
Dec 1, 2025
Exits with adductor injury
Huerter has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Magic due to an adductor injury, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports. He failed to score (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in six minutes prior to exiting.
ANALYSIS
Huerter picked up the injury early in Monday's matchup, but the severity has yet to be determined. Isaac Okoro (back) and Coby White (calf) are also out, so look for Tre Jones and Julian Phillips to see more chances against Orlando.
Nov 28, 2025
Active Friday
Huerter (pelvis) will play in Friday's game against Charlotte, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed Monday's contest with a pelvic contusion, but he's been upgraded to available Friday. After starting five straight games, Huerter has played 19 and 10 minutes, respectively, as a reserve during his last two games.
Nov 27, 2025
Iffy for Friday
Huerter (pelvic contusion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Huerter, and with this being the front end of a back-to-back set, a maintenance day could on the table. The Bulls submitted a lengthy injury report, so the team could be very shorthanded across the board.
Nov 24, 2025
Ruled out Monday
Huerter (pelvis) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will be inactive for the first time this season due to pelvis soreness. After a run of five starts, the 27-year-old moved to the bench and logged under 20 minutes in each of the Bulls' previous two games, with reserves such as Jevon Carter, Julian Phillips and Patrick Williams candidates to absorb those minutes Monday. Huerter's next chance to play is Friday against the Hornets.
Nov 23, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Huerter (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Huerter appears on the injury report with an illness that could sideline him Monday. After a stretch of five starts, the 27-year-old has come off the bench and logged under 20 minutes in each of the Bulls' past two games, and despite his reputation as a shooter, he's hit just 30.3 percent from deep through 16 appearances this season.
Nov 23, 2025
Downward trend continues
Huerter recorded nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three assists over 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Huerter logged 19 minutes despite dealing with an illness, scoring single digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Despite a serviceable start to the campaign, Heurter's role appears to be reducing, largely due to the fact that Coby White is back in the lineup. He will continue to battle players like Tre Jones and Ayo Dosunmu for backup minutes.
Nov 22, 2025
Available to play
Huerter (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
While Huerter is feeling under the weather, he was able to get through his pregame routine without issue, so he'll gut it out for Saturday's game. The Bulls will be without Isaac Okoro (back) and Patrick Williams (wrist), so Huerter could be looking at a starting role Saturday.
Nov 22, 2025
Will try to play Saturday
Huerter (illness) will "try" to play Saturday against the Wizards, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with an illness, but he'll go through his pregame routine before an official decision is made on his status for Saturday's game. He's essentially a game-time call, but if he's not able to give it a go, Julian Phillips could get a big bump in minutes.
Nov 22, 2025
Under the weather
Huerter is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
It's been a rough 24 hours for Huerter. First, he was benched Friday night in favor of Ayo Dosunmu, and then the sharpshooter was ejected from the loss to Miami after throwing the ball toward a ref. Now, he's under the weather and is in danger of missing his first game of the season.
Nov 21, 2025
Ejected Friday
Huerter was ejected from Friday's game against the Heat, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was ejected in the third quarter for apparently hitting the ball in the direction of the referee. He finished the game with three points, two rebounds and a steal across 10 minutes off the bench.
Nov 21, 2025
Bumped to bench
Huerter isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had started five straight games, but he'll retreat to the second unit Friday night in favor of Ayo Dosunmu. During that five-game stretch, Huerter averaged 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 28 minutes.
Nov 20, 2025
Season-low two points
Huerter closed Wednesday's 122-121 victory over the Trail Blazers with two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter remained in the starting lineup, although produced his worst performance of the season. While it has been a solid start for Huerter, his arrow is beginning to point in the wrong direction. The return of Coby White has resulted in two poor performances by Huerter, an indication that he could be an expendable fantasy asset at some point in the near future.
Nov 18, 2025
Scores 20 points in win
Huerter had 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Monday's 130-127 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been on a tear for the Bulls, but he may struggle to keep producing like this once the team gets healthier -- Tre Jones missed his second game in a row with an ankle issue and Coby White was rested for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last five outings, Huerter has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.
Nov 11, 2025
Scores team-high 23 points
Huerter logged 23 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 33 minutes during Monday's 121-117 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Huerter moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, replacing Josh Giddey, who was ruled out due to an ankle injury. The promotion yielded a season-best performance, with Huerter leading the team with 23 points. It's been an encouraging start to the season for Huerter, having scored double digits in all but one game. He should be rostered in all standard leagues, at least until Coby White returns from a calf injury.
Nov 10, 2025
Drawing first start of season
Huerter is starting Monday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will join the first unit Monday due to the absence of Josh Giddey (ankle). Huerter has been solid off the bench this season for the Bulls, averaging 13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks over nine games.
Nov 4, 2025
Provides 12 points off bench
Huerter recorded 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 113-111 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter managed to bounce back from a sluggish seven-point game Sunday against the Knicks, though he wasn't all that efficient shooting the basketball. He also drilled a pair of triples, marking the third time in seven matchups this season he's hit two or more threes. Huerter will continue to be leaned on to provide scoring off the bench for the Bulls.
Oct 31, 2025
Tallies double-digits again
Huerter closed with 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 135-125 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter scored double-digits for the fifth straight game to begin the season, providing the undefeated Bulls with a viable scoring threat off the bench. Over that five-game period, Huerter is averaging 14.2 points per game, adding 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.6 combined steals and blocks. Coby White is nearing a return after missing the start of the season with a calf injury. Upon his return, the coaching staff will have some decisions to make, one of which is where does Huerter fit in the rotation moving forward.
Oct 25, 2025
Adds 11 points off bench
Huerter chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Huerter struggled to get his shot working from beyond the arc, but it didn't stop him from scoring in double figures. He's been fairly aggressive on the offensive end through two games this season, attempting 21 total shots from the field while securing 12 rebounds in two straight wins for the Bulls. Expect Huerter to continue firing, especially with a pair of strong facilitators in Josh Giddey and Tre Jones feeding him the ball.
Oct 16, 2025
Will play Thursday
Huerter (groin) will play on a minutes restriction in Thursday's preseason game against Minnesota, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will suit up in Chicago's preseason finale after dealing with a groin injury. The 27-year-old swingman appeared in 69 regular-season games (31 starts) between the Bulls and Kings in 2024-25, during which he averaged 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.3 minutes per game.
Oct 13, 2025
Practices Monday
Huerter (groin) participated in Monday's practice and he's trending towards making his preseason debut Thursday versus the Timberwolves, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has yet to play this preseason due to a groin injury, but he continues to ramp up his workload at practices, and it sounds like he could get out there for Thursday's preseason finale. That said, he'll likely be operating in a reserve role for the Bulls this season, so we wouldn't anticipate him making much noise in standard fantasy leagues.
Oct 12, 2025
Sidelined again
Huerter (groin) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will miss a second straight preseason contest due to groin tightness. He'll have two more chances to appear in a game before the start of the regular season, the first of which will come Tuesday against Denver.
Oct 9, 2025
Out Thursday
Huerter (groin) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with groin tightness, and the Bulls are exercising caution Thursday. His next chance to suit up comes Sunday against the Bucks.
Apr 13, 2025
Paces Chicago in win
Huerter closed with 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Huerter recorded a team-high mark in points during the regular-season finale. Additionally, the 26-year-old knocked down a team-best five triples, sinking at least five three-pointers for the eighth time this season. Huerter made 69 regular-season appearances between Chicago and Sacramento, finishing with averages of 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.9 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks across 24.3 minutes per contest.
Apr 10, 2025
Goes for 22 points in win
Huerter racked up 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Josh Giddey and Nikola Vucevic were among the best players for the Bulls in this game, but there's no question Huerter made his presence felt on offense as well. The veteran guard had endured a rough start to the season with the Kings, but he's flourished since being traded to Chicago. He's started in 14 of his 24 games with the Bulls, averaging 13.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 9, 2025
Good to go against Miami
Huerter (neck) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was sidelined for Tuesday's game against Cleveland due to a right cervical strain, but he's been given the green light to play Wednesday. The 2018 first-round pick has started in each of his last 12 outings and has averaged 14.5 points, 3.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 34.2 minutes per game over that span.
Apr 9, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Huerter (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was held out of Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right cervical strain, though it could've been a maintenance day for the veteran. Over his last five games, Huerter has produced averages of 13.4 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers in 33.6 minutes.
Apr 7, 2025
Out against Cleveland
Huerter won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers due to a right cervical strain.
ANALYSIS
This appears to be a new injury for Huerter, but it remains to be seen if this is just a maintenance day on the front end of the back-to-back set. The Bulls are going to be very shorthanded Tuesday, as Coby White will be rested, Lonzo Ball (wrist) is out and Nikola Vucevic (rest) is questionable.
Apr 1, 2025
Good to go Tuesday
Huerter (thumb) will play in Tuesday's game against the Raptors, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Monday's game against the Thunder with a thumb injury, Huerter is good to go for the second half of Chicago's back-to-back and should be able to take on his normal role in the first unit. The veteran sharpshooter averaged 14.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 33.5 minutes over 12 games last month.
Apr 1, 2025
Listed as questionable
Huerter (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was held out Monday against the Thunder, but the veteran guard remains day-to-day. If he's available for the second leg of this back-to-back set, he could see increased usage and minutes with the Bulls submitting a very lengthy injury report.
Mar 30, 2025
Not playing Monday
Huerter has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has started in each of the Bulls' last nine games, but he has recently been playing through a right thumb issue. He'll get the night off on the first leg of a back-to-back set and could return Tuesday against Toronto. Dalen Terry could be inserted into the Bulls' starting lineup Monday in Huerter's absence.
Mar 28, 2025
Balanced output Thursday
Huerter amassed 21 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Thursday's 119-117 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been a serviceable addition to the Bulls since coming over in the Zach LaVine trade, as he's scored in double figures in nine of his 11 outings in March. As long as he continues to start, Huerter should remain a strong source of swipes and treys in category-based fantasy leagues. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.6 three-pointers in 33.6 minutes through 11 games this month.
Mar 22, 2025
Will play vs. LAL
Huerter (thumb) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with a thumb injury, but that won't keep him off the court Saturday in Los Angeles. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 9.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 41.3 percent from the floor and a career-low 32.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 21, 2025
Likely to play vs. LAL
Huerter (thumb) has been listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has started the last five games for the Bulls. The veteran guard is averaging 5.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game in the first unit for Chicago, shooting 50.8 percent from the floor and 40 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 21, 2025
Productive performance in win
Huerter registered 25 points (10-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds, four steals and one block in 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old recorded his third consecutive outing with at least 15 points while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Coby White (35 points). Additionally, Huerter racked up a game- and season-high four steals, marking his 15th game with multiple swipes. The swingman has been a mainstay in the starting lineup over the club's last five outings due to Josh Giddey (ankle) missing time, and in that five-game span, Huerter has averaged 16.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.2 three-pointers and 1.2 steals across 34.4 minutes per contest.
Mar 20, 2025
Plays well in first unit
Huerter provided 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Despite the return of Josh Giddey, Huerter remained with the starters and produced another solid line. Huerter has provided solid steaming value over his last seven games, averaging 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.6 three-pointers in 31.8 minutes.
Mar 14, 2025
Solid display in starting role
Huerter produced 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Huerter got the start Thursday due to the absence of Josh Giddey (ankle) and looked impressive, notching double-digit points for the eighth game in a row and also ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Huerter is likely to remain in a starting role as long as Giddey remains on the shelf, which should translate into an uptick in his fantasy upside across all formats.
Mar 13, 2025
Starting sans Giddey
Huerter will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old swingman will return to the starting five due to Josh Giddey (ankle) being sidelined. Huerter's only start with the Bulls came in a win over Philadelphia on Feb. 24, during which he posted 23 points (8-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt), four assists and two steals across 34 minutes. He has averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals over his last five outings.
Mar 11, 2025
Notches 13 points
Huerter provided 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
This wasn't Huerter's best night from the field, but he made up for it on the defensive end with a career-high tying three blocks to go with one steal. He's been trending up for the shorthanded Bulls, posting 10th-round value in nine-category formats over his last eight games with 13.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.5 three-pointers in 28.6 minutes per contest.
Mar 7, 2025
Puts up 13 points in return
Huerter (knee) recorded 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Thursday's 125-123 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Back in action after missing the previous two games with a right knee sprain, Huerter didn't seem to be operating with any restrictions and paced the Chicago bench in scoring. Since being acquired from the Kings on Feb. 3, Huerter is averaging 10.9 points, 2.8 three-pointers, 2.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.7 minutes over his nine appearances with the Bulls.
Mar 6, 2025
Officially good to go
Huerter (knee) is available for Thursday's day game versus the Magic due to a right knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Chicago's last two outings. With Lonzo Ball (wrist) out, Huerter could receive an increased role against Orlando.
Mar 5, 2025
Iffy for Thursday
Huerter (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Huerter, who has missed the past two games for Chicago, is still considered day-to-day. Meanwhile, Josh Giddey (quadriceps) and Lonzo Ball (wrist) remain questionable as well. If Huerter continues to miss time, Talen Horton-Tucker and Dalen Terry could continue to see an uptick in minutes for the Bulls.
Mar 4, 2025
Not playing Tuesday vs. Cleveland
Huerter (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a right knee sprain, and his next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Magic. With Huerter, Lonzo Ball (wrist) and Josh Giddey (quadriceps) all not playing, Coby White, Tre Jones and Talen Horton-Tucker should see an influx of playing time and responsibilities Tuesday.
Mar 3, 2025
Questionable with knee sprain
Huerter is questionable for Tuesday's game against Cleveland with a sprained right knee.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sat out Sunday's loss to Indiana due to the problem, and he remains iffy to suit up for Tuesday. With Lonzo Ball (wrist) also questionable, the Bulls could give Dalen Terry another look in the starting lineup against the Cavaliers.
Mar 2, 2025
Not suiting up Sunday
Head coach Billy Donovan said that Huerter (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will miss Sunday's contest while he deals with a sprained right knee, and his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against Cleveland. With the 26-year-old swingman joining Lonzo Ball (wrist) on the shelf, Tre Jones, Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
Mar 1, 2025
Iffy against Indiana
Huerter is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pacers due to a right knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was recently dealing with a bruised right quad but now is in danger of missing Sunday's contest due to a sprained right knee. With Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) already ruled out, Dalen Terry and Talen Horton-Tucker could receive increased playing time.
Feb 26, 2025
Will play Wednesday
Huerter (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter is available for Wednesday's game after initially being listed as probable due to a bruised right quad. With Ayo Dosunmu sidelined, Huerter has the inside track to make a second consecutive start.
Feb 25, 2025
Probable for Wednesday
Huerter is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers with a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has seen increased run for the Bulls and that has resulted in a mild quadriceps injury. For now, the expectation is that Huerter will be in the lineup to face the Clippers. His role, however, hinges on the availability of Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) who is currently carrying a questionable tag.
Feb 24, 2025
Increased run in victory
Huerter contributed 23 points (8-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt), four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 142-110 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old received the starting nod with Coby White having entered the game late due to a laceration. Additionally, Huerter saw increased run with Lonzo Ball (head) leaving the game in the second quarter. Huerter made the most of his opportunities, recording his second-highest scoring outing of the season behind a season-high seven three-pointers. The swingman has provided a spark off the bench for the Bulls, and he has yet to play fewer than 18 minutes over six appearances with his new club.
Feb 24, 2025
Starting Monday
Huerter will start in Monday's game against Philadelphia, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Coby White was originally supposed to start for Chicago, though he was bleeding before tipoff, allowing Huerter to step into the starting five. The 26-year-old swingman will likely receive his normal workload, as White is still available to play.
Feb 22, 2025
Hits four threes off bench Saturday
Huerter accumulated 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had seen limited playing time over his first four games with the Bulls, but his 30 minutes of court time Saturday was his most since Nov. 24 when he played for the Kings. He made the most of his extended playing time, connecting on four triples for the fifth time this season to lead the Bulls' reserves in scoring. Huerter has gone 7-for-16 from deep over his last two games, and he'll look to bring the hot hand into Monday's game against the 76ers.
Feb 13, 2025
Limited role continues
Huerter ended with two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Huerter continues to play a limited role off the bench for his new team, having now played at least 20 minutes in just one of his three appearances for the Bulls. Despite the change of scenery, it appears that Huerter is going to play a similar role to the one he was playing in Sacramento. Through 46 games played, he is serving up modest averages of 7.6 points and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per contest.
Feb 8, 2025
Cleared to play Saturday
Huerter (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was acquired by the Bulls on Sunday in a blockbuster trade headlined by Zach LaVine going to the Kings and De'Aaron Fox going to the Spurs. Huerter will be available to make his Bulls' debut Saturday, and head coach Billy Donovan relayed that he hopes to get Huerter, Zach Collins and Tre Jones some playing time. Huerter averaged 12.3 minutes per game off the Kings' bench since the beginning of January prior to being traded.
Feb 4, 2025
Out at least until Saturday
Huerter (recently traded) won't be available for the Bulls until Saturday's game versus the Warriors at the earliest, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After being traded from Sacramento to Chicago, Huerter will miss Tuesday's and Wednesday's contests with his new team. However, it is also possible that the Bulls attempt to trade Huerter again before the trade deadline on Feb. 6.
Feb 4, 2025
Won't make debut Tuesday
Huerter will not make his debut with the Bulls on Tuesday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is one of the players who was recently traded to Chicago in the three-team deal that involved Zach LaVine being moved to the Sacramento Kings. In 43 games with Sacramento, the 26-year-old averaged a career-low 7.9 points, 2. 8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
Feb 3, 2025
Available to play Tuesday
Huerter (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
The sharpshooter is expected to make his Bulls debut after having been included in Sunday's deal that sent Tre Jones, Zach Collins and Huerter to Chicago. The 26-year-old began the 2024-25 campaign with the Kings, averaging 2.4 points in only 8.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Dealt to Chicago
The Bulls obtained Huerter, Zach Collins and Tre Jones in a multi-team trade, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Spurs get De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin and the Kings receive Zach LaVine (personal), Sidy Cissoko, three first-round picks and three second-round picks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter, who was with the Kings since July of 2022, has seen a decreased role after starting the first 15 games this season and has averaged just 8.3 minutes per game over his last seven appearances. A change of scenery could prove beneficial for Huerter, who joins a depleted Bulls roster with substantial offensive usage up for grabs. The seventh-year pro's shooting ability could mesh well with playmakers like Josh Giddey, Coby White and Lonzo Ball.
Jan 24, 2025
Quiet in loss
Huerter provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in six minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has played fewer than 10 minutes in four consecutive outings, and over his last five appearances, he has averaged 3.0 points across 9.6 minutes per game. The 26-year-old has fallen out of the rotation of late, and he'll likely continue to struggle finding meaningful minutes behind Keon Ellis in the second unit.
Jan 2, 2025
Shooting woes continue
Huerter notched two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is having arguably the worst season of his career during the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaging a career-low 9.1 points per game while shooting a career-worst 30.3 percent from beyond the arc. The veteran guard has shot 2-for-13 combined over the last two games and gone 1-for-7 from deep.
Dec 22, 2024
Top scorer off bench in loss
Huerter finished with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter provided a lift off the Kings bench in Saturday's losing effort, leading all bench players in scoring to go along with a team-high-tying steals mark and coming up one point short of the double-digit mark. Huerter has swiped at least two steals in eight contests this season, scoring nine or more points in six of those outings.
Dec 19, 2024
Suiting up Friday
Huerter (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Sacramento's previous contest due to a left shoulder sprain. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.8 minutes across his last five outings.
Dec 19, 2024
Iffy for Thursday
Huerter (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was limited during Wednesday's practice and has been handed a questionable designation. If he can't play, expect Keon Ellis and Colby Jones to see more minutes.
Dec 18, 2024
Limited at practice
Huerter (shoulder) was a partial participant at Wednesday's practice, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is battling a shoulder sprain and was unable to play Monday against the Nuggets. His status for Thursday against the Lakers is in the air, but more clarity is expected when the Kings release their injury report Wednesday evening. Fantasy managers can anticipate a questionable or doubtful tag.
Dec 16, 2024
Ruled out Monday
Huerter (shoulder) won't play Monday against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was previously listed as doubtful and was not present at the morning shootaround. The Kings consider him day-to-day, so it's possible he could return Thursday against the Lakers. Keon Ellis and Colby Jones are candidates to see increased run Monday.
Dec 15, 2024
Doubtful for Monday
Huerter (shoulder) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is likely to miss Monday's contest due to a left AC joint sprain. Keon Ellis and Colby Jones are likely candidates to receive extra time if Huerter can't suit up.
Dec 14, 2024
Day-to-day with shoulder sprain
Huerter is expected to be day-to-day with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sustained the injury at the 5:25 mark of the third quarter in Thursday's 111-109 victory over the Pelicans. The depth wing was able to finish the contest with seven points (2-10 FG, 1-8 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 28 minutes. It is possible his poor shooting effort could be attributed to the shoulder injury. The Kings next play Monday versust the Nuggets. Should he ultimately miss time, Keon Ellis and Colby Jones are candidates to absorb his minutes.
Dec 9, 2024
Goes for 26 points off bench
Huerter ended Sunday's 141-97 victory over Utah with 26 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Even though Malik Monk has taken over as Sacramento's starting shooting guard, Huerter certainly made the most of his minutes in this blowout win and led the team in scoring. The 26-point haul was a season-high mark for Huerter, who has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings. However, and despite the uptick in his play, he's not likely to return to the starting lineup any time soon.
Dec 4, 2024
Returns to action with 13 points
Huerter chipped in 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter played 25 minutes in his return, but it may prove difficult to get his starting job back. Malik Monk has played well in his absence, and Keon Ellis has also made an impact. It will be interesting to see how the depth chart shakes out in the coming week, as Monk may be playing well enough to leave his role as the team's top sixth man.
Dec 3, 2024
Gets green light Tuesday
Huerter (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will return to action following a one-game absence in Sunday's loss to the Spurs after he sprained his ankle in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers. In his last five appearances (two starts), the 26-year-old averaged only 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds across 18.4 minutes per game.
Dec 2, 2024
Practices, questionable for Tuesday
Huerter (ankle) was a full participant during Monday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sprained his ankle against the Pelicans on Friday and didn't play Sunday versus the Spurs. While he'll likely be able to suit up this week, barring a setback, the sharpshooter has lost his spot in the starting lineup. Malik Monk will start at shooting guard moving forward, while Keon Ellis has also carved out a larger role recently.
Dec 1, 2024
Ruled out Sunday vs. Spurs
Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Spurs, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter injured his right ankle during the Kings' loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday and will miss his first game since Nov. 4. With the 26-year-old guard sidelined, Keon Ellis is expected to start while Malik Monk and Jordan McLaughlin are candidates to receive an uptick in playing time off the bench. Huerter's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Rockets.
Nov 30, 2024
Unlikely to play vs. San Antonio
Huerter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Huerter injured his right ankle during the Kings' loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, and he's not expected to suit up for Sunday's Western Conference clash. Malik Monk, Colby Jones and Jordan McLaughlin are candidates to see increased minutes if Huerter is ruled out.
Nov 30, 2024
Doesn't practice Saturday
Huerter (ankle) didn't practice Saturday and is expected to be listed doubtful to play Sunday against the Spurs, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter exited Friday's game against the Blazers with a right ankle injury after being unintentionally tripped early in the second quarter, and the fact that he didn't practice Saturday suggests his chances of playing Sunday are slim. Even if he's deemed available, Huerter shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. He's been playing off the bench recently, with Keon Ellis taking over as the starting shooting guard in the team's last three games.
Nov 29, 2024
Won't return Friday
Huerter won't return to Friday's game against the Blazers due to an ankle injury, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was tripped unintentionally in the early stages of the second quarter, and the fact that Huereter won't return suggests there's some concern level regarding his ankle. Huerter has been playing off the bench of late with Keon Ellis featuring as the starting shooting guard. It remains to be seen if Huerter will be forced to miss multiple games.
Nov 25, 2024
Shifting to bench
Huerter isn't starting Monday's game against the Thunder, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has started each of the 15 games he's appeared in this season, but the Kings have elected to shake things up by inserting Keon Ellis into the starting five. Huerter has averaged 33.0 minutes over his last five appearances, so he's still likely to see plenty of opportunities despite a move to the bench.
Nov 14, 2024
Wakes up with 22 points
Huerter totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Huerter stepped up after DeMar DeRozan (back) exited the game and blew well past his previous season high with 22 points. While Heurter has held on to a starting role with Sacramento, his production has been spotty in recent weeks. DeRozan has inherited a sizable role in the offense that his limits Huerter's involvement, but he has the ability to pop with double-digit totals on occasion.
Nov 11, 2024
All-around production in win
Huerter totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 127-118 overtime win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Huerter finished with season highs in made three-pointers, rebounds, steals and minutes played during the overtime win. With Malik Monk (ankle) likely to miss time, Huerter may have increased offensive responsibilities over the next week. He's scored in double figures in six of his last seven appearances, averaging 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.0 minutes per game.
Nov 6, 2024
Will start Wednesday
Kings head coach Mike Brown said Huerter will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed Sacramento's previous two games with an illness, but he's been cleared to play and start Wednesday. In five games this season, Huerter is averaging 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 26.0 minutes.
Nov 6, 2024
Officially active Wednesday
Huerter (illness) has been cleared for Wednesday's game against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Prior to missing Sacramento's last two games due to illness, Huerter averaged 14.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists while knocking down 41.4 percent of 7.3 three-point attempts per game throughout his last four contests. He'll return Wednesday to face a Toronto defense with the fourth worst rating in the league.
Nov 6, 2024
Present for shootaround
Huerter (illness) participated in shootaround Wednesday morning but remains questionable Wednesday night versus Toronto, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has missed two consecutive games while dealing with an illness. Amid his absence, Keon Ellis has logged at least 27 minutes in each contest, while Huerter averaged 26.0 minutes across Sacramento's first five games this season.
Nov 5, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Huerter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The sharpshooter has missed the Kings' last two games due to the illness, and if he remains out Doug McDermott, Malik Monk and Keon Ellis are all candidates for an increased role. Huerter has started in all five of his regular-season appearances, during which he has averaged 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks across 26.0 minutes per game.
Nov 4, 2024
Out Monday
Huerter (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will miss a second straight game due to an illness. Doug McDermott started in Huerter's absence against the Raptors on Saturday but played only 15 minutes, while Keon Ellis and Malik Monk saw increased roles off the bench.
Nov 3, 2024
Iffy for Monday vs. Miami
Huerter (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed Saturday's loss to the Raptors due to a non-COVID illness, though he has been upgraded to questionable for Monday. The 26-year-old has averaged 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 steals-plus-blocks across 26.0 minutes through five regular-season outings. If Huerter is unable to go, Keon Ellis and Malik Monk are both candidates for an expanded role.
Nov 2, 2024
Won't play against Toronto
Huerter is out for Saturday's game versus the Raptors due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will miss his first game of the season Saturday while dealing with a non-COVID illness. In his absence, Keon Ellis and Malik Monk are candidates to receive increased playing time. Huerter's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Miami.
Oct 29, 2024
Ties career high in swats
Huerter posted 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four assists, three blocks and one rebound across 33 minutes during Monday's 111-98 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Huerter tied his career high with three blocks in the contest. The sharpshooter was also efficient from the field while hitting all of his two-point shots and shooting 4-for-9 from deep. The 26-year-old is working his way back from a left shoulder surgery, but through three regular-season outings (three starts), he has averaged 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 combined steals plus blocks while shooting 42.1 percent from downtown across 26.3 minutes per game.
Oct 23, 2024
Set to play Thursday
Huerter (shoulder) will play in Thursday's season opener against Minnesota, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was spotted in a full-contact practice jersey Wednesday while running with the starters, serving as confirmation following a full practice Tuesday. Prior to suffering a shoulder dislocation in March, Huerter averaged 10.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists while connecting on 36.7 percent of 5.6 threes per game across 58 starts.
Oct 22, 2024
Logs full practice Tuesday
Huerter (shoulder) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed the entire preseason schedule while working his way back from left shoulder surgery. However, the sharpshooter appears to be close to full strength with the regular season on deck. When healthy, Huerter should push Keon Ellis for the starting shooting guard spot, which the former occupied last season.
Oct 17, 2024
Won't face Clippers
Huerter (shoulder) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Clippers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been working his way back from left shoulder surgery but won't be ready to suit up in this contest, meaning he'll head into the regular season having played exactly zero minutes in the preseason.
Oct 15, 2024
Doesn't play against Utah
Huerter (shoulder) didn't play in Tuesday's 117-114 preseason loss versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Despite being cleared for full-contact activity, Huerter missed his fourth straight preseason outing Tuesday while recovering from left shoulder surgery. His last chance to suit up before the regular season is Thursday's preseason finale against the Clippers
Oct 13, 2024
Remains out Sunday
Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Trail Blazers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was cleared for full-contact activity Friday, though the club is still expected to slowly work him back to playing form. The Kings are optimistic that the sharpshooter will return by Opening Night, and he could see some limited playing time during the remainder of the preseason. Huerter's next chance to suit up in the preseason will come against the Jazz on Tuesday.
Oct 11, 2024
Cleared for full contact
Huerter (shoulder) has been cleared for full-contact court activity and will enter the final stage of his recovery process, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings are being very cautious with Huerter's recovery process, and he's inching closer and closer to being available. The veteran shooting guard won't be available to face the Warriors on Friday, but it seems there's a shot he might be able to play at least a few minutes in the preseason before the Kings open the regular season against the Timberwolves on Oct. 24. The Kings still have three preseason contests left after playing Golden State on Friday.
Oct 9, 2024
Inactive for preseason opener
Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been increasingly more involved at practice, but he's yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 activities and will be unavailable for the Kings' preseason opener. Huerter is recovering from a procedure in April that repaired his torn left labrum. While the 26-year-old seems close to gaining 5-on-5 clearance, it's unknown when he'll be ready to play in games. Sacramento's next exhibition comes Friday at Golden State.
Oct 9, 2024
Continues to progress
Huerter (shoulder) was able to increase his activity at Tuesday's practice as he continues to progress to full-contact work, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter suffered a labral tear to his left shoulder back in March, and while he's been limited to open training camp, all signs point to a return in the near future. The next step is getting clearance for 5-on-5 activities, but it's unclear when he'll be able to make his preseason debut.
Oct 7, 2024
Limited to non-contact activities
Head coach Mike Brown said Monday that Huerter has been restricted to non-contact activities in practice as he recovers from a left shoulder injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is in the final stages of his recovery from a dislocation and labral tear to his left shoulder that he suffered in March. He's been focused on individual workouts during training camp, and the 26-year-old guard appears to be inching closer towards returning to 5-on-5 activities ahead of the start of the 2024-25 regular season.
Sep 30, 2024
Ramping up ahead of season
Huerter (shoulder) has been ramping up his individual workouts ahead of the regular season, and he said Monday that "The last step for me is really just getting 5-on-5 full-contact," Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is six months out from suffering a dislocation and labral tear to his left shoulder. However, the 26-year-old said during media day that he feels good and expects to be cleared for 5-on-5 action before the beginning of the regular season, if his follow up appointment in mid-October goes well. Huerter appeared in 64 regular-season outings last season, during which he averaged 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 24.4 minutes per game.
Aug 30, 2024
Cleared for on-court workouts
Huerter (shoulder) has been cleared for on-court workouts, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is recovering from a shoulder procedure he underwent in early April, and the news that he's been cleared for on-court workouts shows he's trending in the right direction. Huerter will be re-evaluated in mid-October, and if everything continues to trend in the right direction, he could be cleared for full contact activity before the start of the 2024-25 regular season.
Apr 3, 2024
Undergoes shoulder procedure
Huerter (shoulder) underwent successful surgery to repair his torn left labrum, he will be out for the remainder of the season but should be a full-go for 2024-25, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reported Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Huerter officially went through the surgery without any issues, thus beginning a lengthy rehab process. He'll look to move past a somewhat disappointing 2023-24 season, finishing with career lows in minutes per game (24.4) and three-point percentage (36.1) in 64 games (59 starts). Huerter will be entering his final year of a four-year, $65 million contract he signed with the Hawks back in 2021, and could see his playing time increase next season if the Kings don't retain pending free agent Malik Monk.
Mar 29, 2024
To undergo season-ending surgery
Huerter will undergo season-ending left shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum but is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter dislocated his left shoulder in mid-March and has been sidelined since. The Kings were hesitant to rule the sharpshooter out for the entire season, but it seems both parties agreed that getting the surgery now was the right move. Huerter's production was sporadic in 2023-24, and overall, he saw dips in every major category compared to his first season in Sacramento. He'll finish with averages of 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 24.4 minutes per game over 64 appearances. Huerter has two years remaining on his current contract.
Mar 25, 2024
Won't return this season
Huerter (shoulder) won't return during the 2023-24 season, even if the Kings make the playoffs, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter suffered a dislocated shoulder and labral tear last week, and the issue will force him to miss the remainder of the year. The 25-year-old's production declined in most areas during his second season with the Kings, as he averaged 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.4 minutes per game over 64 appearances. He'll now shift his focus toward preparing for the 2024-25 season.
Mar 21, 2024
No timetable for return
The Kings announced Thursday that Huerter, who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Washington, has been diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder and labral tear and doesn't have a timetable to return, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sustained his shoulder injury during Monday's win over the Grizzlies, and the team is still evaluating treatment options. While it's not yet clear when the 25-year-old will be able to return, it seems likely that he's facing a multi-game absence.
Mar 21, 2024
Won't play Thursday
Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sustained a left shoulder injury Monday against Memphis, and he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Keon Ellis will likely continue to handle a starting role in Huerter's absence.
Mar 19, 2024
Ruled out for Wednesday
Huerter (shoulder) will be inactive Wednesday against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
A formal diagnosis on Huerter's shoulder has yet to come, potentially indicating that Sacramento is sending him for additional testing. The Kings will commence a back-to-back Wednesday without the 25-year-old, and Huerter's status is likely in doubt for Thursday's game against Washington as well. Keon Ellis and Chris Duarte profile as match-up dependent fill-ins for Sacramento's rotation.
Mar 18, 2024
Out with shoulder injury
Huerter will not return to Monday's game against Memphis due to a left shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was fouled so hard by Desmond Bane that his left shoulder appears to have subluxated/dislocated in the air, although it was an inadvertent play and normal transition foul from Bane. No official diagnosis has been published by Sacramento yet, but Huerter's night is done.
Mar 18, 2024
Injures arm Monday
Huerter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against Memphis after suffering an arm injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was fouled in transition and immediately crumpled to a heap under the basket after taking a shot to the arm. It's unclear if his wrist or shoulder suffered more of the blow, but Huerter went straight to the locker room, visibly in pain.
Mar 16, 2024
Available to face Knicks
Huerter (leg) is available to face the Knicks on Saturday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was initially listed as questionable after missing the Wednesday win over the Lakers, and the veteran shooting guard will be available for this one, meaning he should handle his regular workload as a starter. Huerter has been struggling of late, however, as he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range since the end of the All-Star break.
Mar 15, 2024
Questionable for Saturday
Huerter (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a bruised right leg. More light should be shed on his status once he begins to test his leg out during pregame warmups. If he is ultimately unable to play, Chris Duarte and Keon Ellis are prime candidates to benefit from his absence.
Mar 15, 2024
Full go at practice
Huerter (leg) was a full participant during Friday's practice, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 report.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was sidelined for Wednesday's win over the Lakers but is trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Knicks. The sharpshooter has struggled lately, averaging just 6.1 points while shooting 25 percent from three over his last seven appearances.
Mar 13, 2024
Won't play against Lakers
Huerter (leg) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a right leg contusion. Chris Duarte will likely remain in the starting five in his absence. Huerter's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.
Mar 13, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Huerter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a right leg contusion.
ANALYSIS
Huerter must have got hit in the leg during Tuesday's game and he's feeling it now. Since Wednesday's game comes as the second of a back-to-back, there will not be a shootaround, so Huerter is essentially a game-time call. If he's not able to give it a go, Keon Ellis, Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte would be asked to pickup the slack.
Mar 8, 2024
Scoreless in win
Huerter ended Thursday's 131-129 victory over the Spurs with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
From Jan. 14 through Feb. 26, Huerter averaged 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks while shooting 43.7 percent from deep. However, since then, the sharpshooter is averaging just 5.2 points in 20.4 minutes per game while shooting 32.4 percent from the field. If his shot isn't falling, coach Mike Brown tends to give more minutes to Keon Ellis, Davion Mitchell and/or Chris Duarte, but if they continue to split time, none of the Kings' backup guards will have fantasy value.
Feb 23, 2024
Contributes 21 points to cause
Huerter finished Thursday's 127-122 win over the Spurs with 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter posted his highest total in over a month during the victory. The former first-round pick has been the Achilles heel of the Kings' starting lineup, and while he occasionally shows flashes similar to Thursday's total, he's endured some horrible slumps. From late December to mid-January, Huerter scored in double-digits only once over a 10-game stretch. His shot volume was up in Thursday's win, which is an encouraging sign.
Feb 15, 2024
Solid showing in win
Huerter put up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been a consistent contributor in Sacramento's starting lineup this season, averaging 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks over 29.6 minutes in his last 16 games. Although he has been cold from three (20.0 percent in his last five games), look for him to get back on track against the Spurs on Thursday.
Feb 8, 2024
Ejected Wednesday
Huerter was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Pistons, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. He'll finish with 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), a rebound, an assist, a steal and a block during 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With the Kings facing a double-digit deficit with a minute to play, Huerter's ejection will likely have no rotational impact. Huerter's next chance to play will come Friday against Denver.
Feb 3, 2024
Stays relevant in win
Huerter notched 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 133-122 win over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Huerter scored double-digits for the eighth time in the past nine games, continuing arguably his best stretch of the season. He has been a top 75 player over the past month, averaging 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.5 triples. He doesn't offer a lot outside of points and threes, but does just enough in both assists and steals to warrant a roster spot, at least while his shot is dropping.
Jan 28, 2024
Stays hot from deep
Huerter finished with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has posted 50.0 percent shooting on 8.0 threes per game across his last six contests, sparking Sacramento's offense to the level of production that carried them to the playoffs last year. An exploitable matchup awaits on Monday against the shorthanded Grizzlies.
Jan 26, 2024
Ignites with double-double
Huerter registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has had a rough run of subpar games, but his 26-point tear against the Bucks earlier in the month signaled a possible resurgence. He kept things going with a 31-point result against the Pacers, but with seven consecutive single-digit games beginning in late December, it's difficult to depend on him as a reliable scorer for fantasy purposes at the moment.
Jan 19, 2024
Nets career-high 31 points in loss
Huerter provided 31 points (11-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 126-121 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was red-hot from behind the arc Thursday, knocking down a season-high seven triples en route to a career-best 31 points. This was the veteran guard's second big performance over his past three games, as he posted 26 points with six triples in a loss to Milwaukee on Sunday. Huerter is prone to go cold at any moment -- prior to the outburst against the Bucks, he had averaged just 6.1 points on 36.8 percent shooting over his previous 12 games -- but as long as he's getting minutes and rolling offensively, he's worth a look in most fantasy formats.
Jan 15, 2024
Heats up with 26 points
Huerter amassed 26 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 143-142 overtime loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
This was a performance that was long overdue for Huerter. He reached 26 points for the third time this campaign in the loss, and his 10 rebounds mark a new season high. Even if you include this outburst, Huerter's averages in January are pretty underwhelming with 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 triples.
Jan 14, 2024
Cleared for Sunday
Huerter (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain after suffering the injury in the opening minutes of Wednesday's win over Charlotte. He had made his second straight start Wednesday prior to his early departure, and given the brevity of his absence, Huerter may end up sticking on the top unit over Chris Duarte now that he's seemingly healthy again.
Jan 13, 2024
Questionable against Milwaukee
Huerter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is in danger of missing his second straight game Sunday due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Charlotte. Chris Duarte will likely continue to start if Huerter is ruled out.
Jan 12, 2024
Won't play Friday
Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter left Wednesday's win over Charlotte early due to a left ankle sprain and will miss at least one additional contest. Chris Duarte should start in Huerter's absence, but Malik Monk is also a candidate for increased usage off the bench.
Jan 11, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Huerter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is in danger of missing Thursday's contest due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Charlotte. Chris Duarte and Malik Monk are candidates to receive extended minutes if Huerter is ruled out.
Jan 10, 2024
Won't return due to ankle
Huerter will not return to Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was moved into the starting lineup ahead of Chris Duarte for Wednesday night, but he tweaked his ankle less than a minute into the game before limping off the court uncomfortably. Duarte and Malik Monk will likely see a bump in playing time the rest of the evening.
Jan 9, 2024
Will start Tuesday
Huerter will start Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter will reclaim his starting spot from Chris Duarte. It's been a struggle for Huerter thus far, averaging just 9.9 points and 1.8 made triples per game -- his worst marks since his rookie campaign, but it appears he still has coach Mike Brown's confidence.
Jan 9, 2024
Practicing with starters
Huerter wore a black jersey during Monday's practice, indicating a possible return to the starting lineup, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
After averaging 6.4 points on 36.0 percent shooting across an 11-game stretch, Huerter was benched in favor of Chris Duarte ahead of a Dec. 31 blowout win over Memphis. Huerter scored in single digits in each of his first four bench appearances, but he posted 17 points (6-10 FG) during Sunday's loss to New Orleans and played hard at the end of a blowout. Coming into the 2023-24 campaign, Huerter had averaged at least 2.0 made three-pointers per game in four straight seasons, including a career-high 2.7 last year, but it's been a struggle for him thus far, averaging just 9.9 points and 1.8 made triples per game -- his worst marks since his rookie campaign. Even if Huerter returns to form, he's best utilized as a three-point specialist in fantasy.
Dec 31, 2023
Moves to second unit
Huerter (hand) will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was carrying a questionable tag into Sunday before getting clearance prior to warmups. However, coach Mike Brown is opting to start Chris Duarte in his place Sunday. It's no secret that Huerter has struggled, as he's shooting 31.5 percent from beyond the arc through 12 December games.
Dec 31, 2023
Active Sunday
Huerter (hand) is available for Sunday's game against Memphis, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will be available for the 19th straight game. However, the sharpshooter has struggled offensively over his last five appearances, averaging 6.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in just 18.0 minutes per game.
Dec 31, 2023
Trending in right direction
Huerter (hand) is participating in Sacramento's shootaround Sunday morning in advance of an 8 p.m. ET tipoff versus Memphis, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has started Sacramento's past 18 contests, and he appears on track to suit up Sunday night. The Kings' rotation will be at full strength if Huerter is able to play, although he's averaged just 6.8 points in 18.0 minutes across his last five contests.
Dec 30, 2023
Listed as questionable
Huerter is questionable for Sunday's game against Memphis with a left hand strain.
ANALYSIS
Huerter left Friday's game versus Atlanta after playing just 10 minutes, but now there's an official diagnosis and it sounds like he's going to be day-to-day. If Huerter is unable to suit up Sunday, the Kings will likely turn to Chris Duarte after he played 25 minutes Friday. Meanwhile, Davion Mitchell played just 13 minutes.
Dec 29, 2023
Suffers hand injury
Huerter suffered a left hand injury during Friday's game against the Hawks and will not return, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. He finished with seven points, three rebounds, one assist and a three-pointer in 10 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This is a tough blow for the Kings, although the severity of the injury is not yet known. If Huerter is forced to miss additional time, Malik Monk could see even more minutes and Chris Duarte and Davion Mitchell could be more involved as well.
Dec 24, 2023
Struggles continue in starting role
Huerter notched two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
It looked like Huerter had come out of his funk against the Suns, but he came back to earth again after his 13-point effort. Huerter has broken the 10-point scoring barrier only four times in his past 10 games, forcing De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray to carry the offense. Malik Monk (foot) wasn't around to pick up the slack, and he's been useful during Huerter's slump.
Dec 19, 2023
Struggles from deep in win
Huerter had 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 143-131 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Huerter might have reached double-digit scoring numbers for the second game in a row, something he hadn't done since early December, but he continues to struggle with his shot, particularly from three-point range. He's shooting just 35.4 percent from deep over his last 10 games, which is a sizable downgrade compared to the 40.7 percent he's posted throughout the entire campaign.
Dec 13, 2023
Dreadful result in loss
Huerter ended with three points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 119-99 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Hurter is suffering through a horrible three-game slump where his shot has completely betrayed him. He's compiled only 10 points and connected on just 16.7 percent of his shots over the past three games, which is likely his worst streak of production with the Kings.
Dec 9, 2023
Held to a single point
Huerter accumulated one point (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Friday's 114-106 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Huerter got into early foul trouble for the Kings and never found a rhythm. Luckily for Sacramento, Malik Monk and Sasha Vezenkov stepped up off the bench and combined for 27 points. Huerter was playing well in his previous four games, so fantasy managers can chalk this up as an off night.
Nov 29, 2023
Sniffs double-double in narrow win
Huerter registered 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 124-123 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Huerter's sprained finger seemed to affect him for three games following his one-game absence, but his shot looked much sharper in Wednesday's win, which catapulted the Kings into the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament. Huerter also matched a season-high nine rebounds in the victory.
Nov 20, 2023
Available Monday
Huerter (finger) is available Monday against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will return from a one-game absence due to a left finger sprain. He returns to a fully healthy Sacramento backcourt, with the exception of backup point guard Keon Ellis.
Nov 20, 2023
Listed as questionable
Huerter (finger) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Huerter suffered the left finger sprain during Friday's win over the Spurs but returned to the contest. However, he sat out Sunday's win over Dallas and is in danger of missing a second straight game Monday. Keon Ellis (ankle) has already been ruled out, and Sasha Vezenkov (thumb) is questionable, so it appears Chris Duarte and Davion Mitchell are headed for increased roles versus New Orleans.
Nov 19, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Huerter (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to a left finger sprain, and he'll be forced to miss his first game of the season. Malik Monk, Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte are candidates to see an uptick in playing time against Dallas.
Nov 18, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Huerter (finger) is questionable to play Sunday versus Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with a left finger sprain. He has yet to miss a game this season, but Colby Jones was recalled from Sacramento's G League affiliate Saturday, which could be ominous foreshadowing for Huerter's availability Sunday.
Nov 16, 2023
Excellent contribution in victory
Huerter finished Wednesday's 125-110 victory over the Lakers with 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Although Huerter was slow out of the gate this season, he turned on the gas and strung together five great performances, scoring 20-plus points in his last three games. It's essential for the Kings to have a productive complement to De'Aaron Fox in the backcourt, and Huerter is delivering.
Nov 11, 2023
Dazzles with team-leading 28 points
Huerter posted 28 points (11-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and a blocked shot across 33 minutes during Friday's 105-98 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Huerter logged a season-high 28 points and registered numbers in every category during the win. The Kings need De'Aaron Fox (ankle), back, but this is the kind of performance the team needs to be successful. Fox and Domantas Sabonis can't carry the team alone, and their supporting cast has struggled a bit to begin the season.
Nov 2, 2023
Close to double-double in loss
Huerter finished Wednesday's 102-101 loss to the Warriors with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter started out slowly but he's now scored double-digits in two straight contests and posted his best rebound total of the season. The Kings depend on Huerter to be the top option alongside De'Aaron Fox (ankle), and the team made few moves to back him up in the offseason. Malik Monk will jump around to fill a variety of roles, but there's a significant lack of experience behind him on the depth chart.
Oct 26, 2023
Scores seven in victory
Huerter posted seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-114 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Huerter made some appearances off the bench during the preseason but unsurprisingly claimed a starting role during Wednesday's regular-season opener. Although Chris Duarte is also available to begin the 2023-24 campaign, Huerter should continue to have a starting role for the Kings after averaging 15.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 29.4 minutes per game last year.
Oct 18, 2023
Starting Wednesday
Huerter will enter the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will return to the first unit Wednesday after coming off the bench last time out in favor of Chris Duarte (knee) who has been ruled out for the remainder of the preseason. Huerter is expected to remain the Kings' starting two guard during the regular season and could see a couple more minutes if Duarte's injury hampers him to open up the 82-game season
Oct 9, 2023
Limited impact in preseason opener
Huerter totaled two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 14 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 preseason loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was a solid contributor during his first season with the Kings last year, but the team didn't rely heavily on its starters during Sunday's preseason opener. The Kings have four more preseason matchups before their regular-season opener against the Jazz on Oct. 25, so it wouldn't be surprising to see some sort of ramp-up process over those games to prepare the starting unit for the start of the 2023-24 campaign.
Apr 18, 2023
Scores 15 points in win
Huerter notched 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 114-106 win over the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Huerter couldn't find any rhythm from deep for a second straight game, but he was still able to make an impact in the scoring column by showing off his versatility. The Maryland product also recorded at least one mark in each defensive category and was one of five Kings to grab at least five boards in the Game 2 victory.
Apr 8, 2023
Absent from injury report
Huerter (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter did not play in the Kings' last game with a right knee injury but appears to be good to go for Sunday's regular-season finale. However, he could be limited considering the Kings are already locked into the No. 3 seed.
Apr 7, 2023
Ruled out Friday
Huerter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday against the Warriors according to Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California.
ANALYSIS
The Kings have secured their homecourt advantage for the first round of the playoffs and will sit De'Aaron Fox (ankle, rest) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle, rest) as well. Davion Mitchell (knee) and Malik Monk (leg) have been given the green light to play, and we could see Terence Davis play a good chunk of minutes as well.
Apr 6, 2023
Questionable Friday
Huerter (right knee injury management) is questionable for Friday's game against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed three games in mid-march due to a right knee injury and appears to be a rest candidate for Friday's tilt. With six other players listed as questionable for Friday's game, fantasy managers should check back closer to tip-off for a more finalized injury report.
Apr 6, 2023
Collects three steals
Huerter ended Wednesday's 123-119 loss to the Mavericks with 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter scored in double figures for his eighth straight contest, and he's also racked up five total steals over his last two games. He's been a consistent contributor on the offensive end of late, averaging 17.3 points to go along with 4.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists across this eight-game stretch.
Mar 26, 2023
Drops 27/7/4 line in win
Huerter accumulated 27 points (10-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-113 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Sacramento played without De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) on Saturday, leaving a void for other players to fill on offense. Huerter took advantage of the opportunity, leading the Kings in scoring on a season-high 21 shot attempts. The fifth-year guard recently sat out three games due to a knee issue, but he played both contests in a back-to-back set Friday and Saturday and averaged 28 points over 35 minutes in the pair of games.
Mar 25, 2023
Turns in massive game
Huerter posted 29 points (10-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 135-127 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed two games with a knee injury, but it certainly didn't seem to give him any problems during Friday's win. The Kings lost De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) in the third quarter and Huerter stepped up in a big way. If Fox is held out for Saturday's contest, we should expect another solid line from Huerter, who has scored in double figures in all but one game this season, and has eight double-doubles to his credit. The Kings would likely not be third in the West without Huerter's prolific production. He currently averages 18.2 shot attempts per game with a 51.6 percent conversion rate.
Mar 24, 2023
Officially good to go
Huerter (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Suns, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the previous three games with a left knee strain. He will likely replace Kessler Edwards in the starting five against Phoenix.
Mar 24, 2023
Plans to play Friday
Huerter (knee) said at the Kings' morning shootaround that the plan is for him to play Friday night against the Suns, Brenden Nunes of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has missed three straight games due to a left knee strain and is officially listed as questionable, but he returned to practice Thursday and participated in shootaround Friday morning. If he's cleared, it's possible the sharpshooter's minutes are monitored closely, but he'd presumably still operate as a starter. Before the injury, Huerter had scored in double figures in seven of his past eight appearances, averaging 19.8 points on 57.0 percent shooting during that stretch.
Mar 23, 2023
Questionable Friday
Huerter (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has missed the last three games due to a left knee strain but participated in Thursday's practice session. A better idea of his status will likely come into focus based on his participation in Friday's shootaround, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.
Mar 21, 2023
Ruled out for Tuesday
Huerter (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Boston.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will miss his third straight game. The Kings have been listing him as questionable, so we have to assume he's day-to-day going forward. Kessler Edwards has been starting in Huerter's absence, but his workloads have been minimal so far.
Mar 21, 2023
Listed as questionable for Tuesday
Huerter (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has missed back-to-back games due to a left knee strain and is in danger of being sidelined for a third straight contest. If he's downgraded to out for the second half of a back-to-back set, Kessler Edwards would presumably draw another start.
Mar 20, 2023
Ruled out Monday
Huerter (knee) is out for Monday's contest against the Jazz, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
After initially being viewed as active, Huerter is unavailable for Sacramento on Monday. The Maryland product's next chance to suit up comes Tuesday against the Celtics.
Mar 20, 2023
Active Monday
Huerter (knee) is available for Monday's contest against the Jazz, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Sacramento's previous contest due to a knee issue, Huerter is officially available to make his return to the team's lineup. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 15.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists over 25.5 minutes across his first 12 appearances since the All-Star break.
Mar 19, 2023
Questionable Monday
Huerter (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was unavailable Saturday against Washington due to a mild strain to the popliteus muscle in his knee, but he'll be in the mix to return for Monday's matchup. If he sits out again Monday, Terence Davis will likely see increased run for the Kings.
Mar 18, 2023
Out Saturday
Huerter (knee) is out Saturday against the Wizards, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was diagnosed with a mild strain to the popliteus muscle in his knee Friday after suffering the injury six minutes into Thursday's game against the Nets. Saturday's absence will be the shooting guard's first since Jan. 13. In his place, Kessler Edwards and Terence Davis could see expanded roles.
Mar 17, 2023
Officially questionable Saturday
Huerter is considered day-to-day and questionable for Saturday's game versus Washington after an MRI revealed a mild hamstring strain Friday, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has avoided a serious injury after hurting his hamstring in Thursday's game against the Nets. If he is unable to suit up, Malik Money, Terence Davis and Davion Mitchell are candidates to receive extended minutes.
Mar 17, 2023
MRI comes back clean, day-to-day
Huerter is considered day-to-day after an MRI on his right hamstring strain came back clean Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter isn't out of the woods yet, but this is certainly encouraging news for the Kings after the sharpshooter left Thursday's win over Brooklyn after just six minutes. His official status for Saturday's matchup in Washington won't be known until Sacramento releases its next injury report, which should drop sometime Friday afternoon.
Mar 16, 2023
Undergoing MRI Friday
Huerter exited Thursday's game against the Nets after suffering what is expected to be a right hamstring strain. He did not return and will have the injury examined Friday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was initially ruled out of Thursday's game with a right leg injury, but it appears as though he sustained a strained hamstring. With the fantasy playoffs nearing, managers should be on the lookout for more information on Huerter's status Friday and may need to seek out replacements in the event of a multi-game absence.
Mar 16, 2023
Will not return
Huerter (right leg) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Nets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter exited the contest after playing just six minutes and will finish the contest scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-2 3PT) with two rebounds and one assist. Malik Monk and Terence Davis should see a bump in playing time for the remainder of the contest. Huerter will have a chance to return to the hardwood Saturday against the Wizards.
Mar 16, 2023
Questionable to return
Huerter is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Nets due to a right knee injury, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
ANALYSIS
The fact that Huerter left the game, went to the locker room and received a questionable tag isn't encouraging. If he can't return, then Malik Monk and Terence Davis would be in line for bigger roles.
Mar 14, 2023
Red-hot from deep in loss
Huerter provided 28 points (10-17 FG, 8-11 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 28 minutes during Monday's 133-124 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter drained a season-high eight threes in Monday's loss and reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time in his last seven appearances. Even though he plays a secondary role on offense behind Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox, Huerter is averaging 17.0 points per game while shooting 49.3 percent from deep since the league resumed following the All-Star break.
Mar 7, 2023
Steps up with 25 ponts
Huerter had 25 points (9-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 123-108 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Kings played Monday's contest without top scorer De'Aaron Fox, who sat out with a hamstring injury. Huerter ensured that the team didn't miss a beat, leading Sacramento in scoring and finishing second with eight assists -- his second-highest total this season. Huerter was especially effective from beyond the arc, where he knocked down six of 10 attempts. The shooting guard is playing arguably his best ball of the season, averaging 23.0 points, 4.8 dimes, 2.3 rebounds and 4.3 three-pointers while shooting 63.0 percent from the field (including 58.6 percent from deep) over his past four games.
Mar 5, 2023
Leads team with 29 points
Huerter accumulated 29 points (11-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 138-134 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
When Huerter is hot, there's no stopping him from long range. He's struggled with his shot a bit since the All-Star Break, but he's sunk nine threes out of 13 attempts over the past two games. The Maryland product continues to shine bright with his new team after four years of mixed results with the Hawks.
Feb 15, 2023
Makes rare impact as shot blocker
Huerter tallied 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has cooled off from a red-hot start to the season in which he converted on better than half of his field-goal and three-point attempts over the Kings' first 16 games, but he's kept himself relevant in the 10- and 12-team discussion by continuing to offer consistent secondary offense behind De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. He's hit the teens in scoring and drilled at least two three-pointers in four of his last six games, and he's supplemented the offense with an average of 1.4 steals during that span. The three blocks he provided Tuesday should be viewed as a major outlier, however; he swatted just three shots over his prior 12 games combined.
Feb 11, 2023
Back in double digits
Huerter closed Friday's 122-114 loss to the Mavericks with 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter turned in a sluggish seven-point performance Wednesday against the Rockets, but he turned things around by finishing with 15 points on 60.0 shooting from the field in Friday night's loss. The Maryland product has posted double figures in four of six February appearances but is performing below his season averages in points, rebounds and assists through the first 10 days of the month.
Feb 3, 2023
Swipes four steals in loss
Huerter chipped in 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 107-104 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter notched a season-high four steals in the loss, putting together a well-rounded performance. His production has been up and down over the past two weeks, culminating in what has been fringe top-120 value in nine-category formats. He is seeing at least 30 minutes on most nights and with the Kings pushing hard to make the playoffs, his role should continue to stick ROS.
Jan 26, 2023
Paces team with 21 points
Huerter recorded 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Though the Kings got blown out Wednesday, Huerter enjoyed a solid all-around game, leading the team in scoring while adding four boards, four dimes, a block and a steal. He did most of his offensive work from deep, knocking down five of nine attempts from three-point range. It was the seventh time this season he's converted five or more shots from deep in a game, and he's averaging a career-best 2.8 triples per contest on the campaign.
Jan 22, 2023
Turns in stellar shooting night
Huerter finished with 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes in Saturday's 129-127 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Though Huerter's usage has fallen below 20 percent in each of his last three games, he's still averaging 17.3 points during that stretch thanks in large part to shooting 55.3 percent from the field. Huerter has made some improvement with his shooting efficiency in 2022-23, but expect his scoring to begin to tail off in the games to come once he inevitably veers closer to his season-long rate of 48.5 percent from the field.
Jan 19, 2023
Approaches double-double in win
Huerter racked up 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was efficient from the floor during Wednesday's matchup, and he posted a season-high eight assists as he came close to posting his first double-double of the season. He's made seven appearances in January and has averaged 16.0 points, 4.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 30.9 minutes per game during that time.
Jan 15, 2023
Available Sunday
Huerter (illness) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed back-to-back games with an illness and was questionable for Sunday due to return to competition conditioning. However, he's since been cleared and will presumably return to the starting lineup against San Antonio. Before his two-game absence, Huerter had scored in double figures in 10 of his past 12 appearances, averaging 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.1 minutes per game.
Jan 14, 2023
Iffy for Sunday
Huerter (return to competition conditioning) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Antonio, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has missed a pair of contests due to a non-COVID illness and will be tabbed as questionable for Sunday's tilt due to conditioning issues. If he can't give it a go, Davion Mitchell, Terence Davis and Malik Monk would see an uptick in minutes.
Jan 13, 2023
Won't play against Houston
Huerter (illness) is out for Friday's game versus the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to a non-COVID illness. Davion Mitchell, Terence Davis and Malik Monk are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Huerter's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Spurs.
Jan 12, 2023
Game-time call Friday
Huerter (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was unable to take part in Thursday's practice, and the team will likely monitor his status closely leading up to Friday's tipoff. Malik Monk and Terence Davis would be in line for more minutes if Huerter is ruled out.
Jan 12, 2023
Unable to practice Thursday
Huerter (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Frankie Cartoscelli of Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was unavailable Wednesday against the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness, and the issue prevented him from practicing a day later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up for Friday's rematch against Houston.
Jan 11, 2023
Sitting out Wednesday
Huerter (illness) will not suit up for Wednesday's tilt against the Rockets, Brenden Nunes of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was initially tabbed as questionable for Wednesday's contest and will miss just his second game of the season with a non-COVID illness. In his stead, Malik Monk and Terence Davis should see expanded roles. Huerter's next chance to play comes Friday in a rematch with Houston.
Jan 11, 2023
Questionable against Houston
Huerter is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is questionable to miss just his second game of the season Wednesday. His potential absence could give Malik Monk, Davion Mitchell and Terence Davis an opportunity for extended minutes.
Jan 8, 2023
Keeps production going in loss
Huerter registered 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Although Huerter showed up on the injury report this week, he hasn't missed a game and continues to start alongside De'Aaron Fox. Davion Mitchell was once considered a lock to star in the backcourt this season, but Huerter's arrival has hijacked those plans. The former first-round pick is averaging 15.9 points, 3.3 rebounds,2.9 assists and 31.6 minutes of floor time over 37 games.
Jan 3, 2023
Good to go against Utah
Huerter (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday with a back injury. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 17.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.0 minutes across his last five games.
Jan 2, 2023
Game-time call Tuesday
Huerter is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Utah due to back soreness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear as to when Huerter picked up the injury, but Sacramento's medical staff will keep a close eye on the guard leading up to Tuesday's tipoff. He'll likely test his back in morning shootaround and pregame warmups to see if he can take the court.
Jan 2, 2023
Solid line in 32 minutes
Huerter ended with 14 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Huerter's multi-category stat lines have been invaluable to the Kings, and the success with his new team is one of the most notable fantasy -related surprises of the season. As long as he keeps the production up, he should continue to stave off Davion Mitchell as the best option alongside De'Aaron Fox.
Dec 31, 2022
Season-high 30 points in win
Huerter recorded 30 points (12-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 126-125 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Huerter went 5-of-8 from the field for 12 first-half points before taking just two shots in the third quarter. The Kings' guard came alive in the final period with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three to help propel Sacramento to a one-point win at home. Huerter scored a team and season-high 30 points in the contest while hitting six threes for just the third time in his 2022-2023 campaign.
Dec 28, 2022
Strong shooting continues in loss
Huerter provided 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Huerter shot at least 50 percent from the floor for the fourth time in his last five games, turning things around after a lean period earlier in the month. After a red-hot start to the season, he has now settled in to be the 92nd-ranked player in standard formats. While his upside is somewhat capped, his role is set in stone, and given the Kings will be doing everything in their power to make the playoffs, he should be a solid top-100 asset ROS.
Dec 22, 2022
Pours in 26 points
Huerter accumulated 26 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 134-120 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter never fully reached his potential over four seasons with Atlanta, but he's found a starting role and increased production with the Kings. Although his numbers have jumped around a bit recently, Wednesday's effort is an indication that he might be back on track. He has the upside for this kind of performance with six games of 20-plus points so far this season.
Dec 16, 2022
Returns from injury
Huerter notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
After missing one game (ankle), Huerter played well in 29 minutes on Friday night. It was a typical line for the 24-year-old guard who is averaging 15.2 points on 47.1 percent shooting this season, both of which are career highs.
Dec 16, 2022
Upgraded to available
Huerter (ankle) is available to play in Friday's matchup with the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing the previous game due to an ankle injury. The 24-year-old guard will likely reclaim his starting spot from Terence Davis on Friday.
Dec 15, 2022
Listed questionable against Pistons
Huerter (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's matchup with Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is questionable to return Friday after missing Wednesday's game with left ankle soreness. Malik Monk and Terence Davis should see extended minutes if his absence continues. Huerter has been one of the most efficient outside shooters in the league this season, converting on 41.0 percent of his 7.0 three-point attempts.
Dec 14, 2022
Out Wednesday
Huerter (ankle) is out Wednesday against the Raptors, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is missing his first game of the season Wednesday. He's been crucial to the Kings' gameplan, with the sharpshooter scoring 15.3 points per game while hitting 41.0 percent of his 7.0 three-point attempts. In his absence, more minutes should be available for Malik Monk and Terence Davis.
Dec 14, 2022
Dealing with ankle issue
Huerter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Huerter played 24 minutes, his fewest since Oct. 27, and scored just seven points during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia, but it appears his lack of playing time and production was due to an ankle issue. If the sharpshooter sits out the second half of Sacramento's back-to-back set Wednesday, Malik Monk and Terence Davis figure to be the primary beneficiaries.
Dec 12, 2022
Has inefficient shooting day
Huerter accumulated 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Huerter finished with double figures for his seventh straight contest, but he needed 16 attempts from the field to reach 17 points. He did find other ways to make a mark in this one, however, adding value on the boards and as a passer, setting his best assist mark since Nov. 17. Huerter is averaging 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals over his last seven contests.
Dec 4, 2022
Another game in double figures
Huerter ended Saturday's 123-96 win over the Clippers with 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter shot 50.0 percent from the field and scored in double digits for the third straight contest. He's been shooting the basketball well all season, knocking down 48.9 percent of his field goals and 44.8 percent of his triples over 21 contests.
Nov 22, 2022
Stays hot from three
Huerter contributed 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has knocked down eight of his last 18 shots from beyond the arc, and he's scored in double figures in seven of his last eight games. He's managed to consistently stuff the stat sheet so far this season, averaging 16.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 16 matchups this season.
Nov 20, 2022
Sinks 10 shots Sunday
Huerter racked up 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 137-129 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Huerter made five of his season-high 10 baskets in the fourth quarter and scored 13 points as Sacramento pulled away for the victory. The strong performance ended a seven-game streak in which he scored under 20 points in each contest. For the year he's made an astounding 51.0 percent of his three-point tries while attempting 7.1 threes per game.
Nov 16, 2022
Drains five treys in win
Huerter posted 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 153-121 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his last three appearances, and he's also been deadly from deep of late. He's hit two or more threes in nine games in a row, and he's making an impressive 56.1 percent of his long-range attempts during that span.
Nov 12, 2022
Two-way production in win
Huerter finished with 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 120-114 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter stuffed the stat sheet and was a big part of Sacramento's second half comeback. Through 11 contests, Huerter is supplying 16.5 points per game on 48.8 percent shooting -- both career-best marks. He's raining in a ridiculous 50.0 percent of his threes on 3.7 attempts a night.
Nov 1, 2022
Another massive effort Monday
Huerter closed Monday's 115-108 win over the Hornets with 26 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has gone for 26-plus in back-to-back games and filled out the rest of his stat line nicely Monday, which isn't something he usually accomplishes. Huerter attempted a season-high 16 shots -- including 10 from beyond the arc. His recent efforts should put him on track for sizable run and usage, especially if De'Aaron Fox misses time following an early exit with a knee injury Monday. Fox has already been ruled out of Wednesday's game at Miami, though it's unclear how much time he'll miss.
Oct 30, 2022
Drains seven threes in win
Huerter finished Saturday's 119-113 win over the Heat with 27 points (8-11 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is looking like a perfect addition alongside De'Aaron Fox in the Kings' backcourt, and the former Hawks guard had one of the best games of his young career after making seven treys en route to his first games with 25-plus points in the current campaign. This is a huge bounce-back effort for the young guard as well, as he was coming off back-to-back single-digit scoring performances.
Oct 29, 2022
Off of injury report
Huerter (shoulder) is no longer on the injury report, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sat most of the second half of Thursday's game due to shoulder soreness, but was able to participate in practice on Friday and looks to be a full-go for Saturday's matchup against the Heat.
Oct 28, 2022
Probable Saturday
Huerter is probable for Saturday's game against the Heat due to left shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Huerter appeared to be dealing with a wrist injury during Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, but he's been diagnosed with a sore shoulder ahead of Saturday's matchup. However, he'll likely be able to play through the issue against Miami.
Oct 28, 2022
Participant in practice
Huerter is at practice Friday after sitting out most of the second half of Thursday's game versus Memphis with a shoulder issue, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite only playing 19 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Grizzlies, Huerter appears to have avoided any long-term injury. Huerter is expected to play in Saturday's game versus the Heat.
Oct 27, 2022
Back on the floor
Huerter (wrist) returned to the court Thursday against the Grizzlies, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter left in the first half to go to the locker room to have his left wrist examined. The guard's wrist seems to be ok as the 24-year-old started to begin the second half.
Oct 27, 2022
Suffers wrist injury
Huerter (wrist) went to the locker room early Thursday against the Grizzlies, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter picked up a left wrist injury and was forced to head to the locker room early Thursday. The guard recorded seven points, two assists and two rebounds in 15 minutes before exiting. Expect Malik Monk and Terence Davis to see extended minutes while Huerter is out.
Oct 20, 2022
Sheds injury tag and scores 23
Huerter closed with 23 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
If Wednesday's game is any indication, Huerter has landed in a plum spot with the Kings. Huerter consistently played around 30 minutes and was a starter roughly two-thirds of the time during his four-year tenure with Atlanta. Due to his sharpshooting skills beyond the arc, Huerter fits the mold left by Buddy Hield. Although there is ample competition on the depth chart, it appears that the 24-year-old will have the first shot at the off-guard position.
Oct 19, 2022
Says he'll play in opener
Huerter (ankle) told the media he'll play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Portland, James Ham of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was listed as questionable coming into the day due to a sore left ankle, but he assured reporters that it won't keep him out of the lineup on Opening Night. The ex-Hawk is expected to hold down the starting shooting guard spot alongside De'Aaron Fox to begin the season. Huerter closed last season averaging 12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 made threes per contest.
Oct 18, 2022
Questionable for season opener
Huerter (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was originally expected to play Wednesday but is now questionable due to left ankle soreness. If he does not play, Malik Monk, Terence Davis and Davion Mitchell are in line for increased roles Wednesday.
Oct 18, 2022
Expected to be available Wednesday
Huerter (ankle) is expected to play during Wednesday's opener against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter should be considered probable until an official injury report drops. He'll start at shooting guard for the Kings after spending the past four years with the Hawks.
Oct 17, 2022
Practices Monday
Huerter (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed Sacramento's preseason finale on Friday but was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Monday. The 24-year-old was seen doing push-ups instead of sprints at practice, indicating he may not be 100 percent quite yet. While his status is up in the air for Wednesday's season opener against the Trail Blazers, Huerter remains the intended starting shooting guard for the upcoming campaign.
Oct 14, 2022
Won't play Friday
Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason matchup with the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter also did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury he suffered in Wednesday's preseason win over the Suns. His status for the team's regular-season opener against Portland next Wednesday is uncertain. Huerter is in line to be the Kings' starting shooting guard when he returns.
Oct 13, 2022
Doesn't practice Thursday
Huerter didn't practice Thursday due to ankle soreness, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was announced as the Kings' starting shooting guard last week, and he tallied 13 points, four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over the Suns. However, he apparently sustained an ankle injury during the narrow victory. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact the 24-year-old's availability for Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers or Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers.
Oct 7, 2022
Wins starting job
Kings coach Mike Brown said Friday that Huerter will be the team's starting shooting guard, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter tallied five points, three rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes in Monday's preseason opener. While these numbers aren't eye-popping, the 24-year-old starter has done enough in training camp to win the starting job over Malik Monk, Davion Mitchell and Terence Davis.
Jul 1, 2022
Traded to Sacramento
Huerter was traded to Sacramento in exchange for Justin Holiday, Mo Harkless and a future first-round pick Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter spent the first four seasons of his career in Atlanta but now finds himself as a member of the Kings after being dealt Friday. The Maryland product is set to compete amongst Malik Monk and Davion Mitchell for playing time throughout his first year in Sacramento. Huerter does have a shot at starting come opening day of the season, however fantasy expectations shouldn't be too high with the Kings' offense presumably running through De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.
Apr 25, 2022
Goes 1-of-5 from deep in Game 4
Huerter produced four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 110-86 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
While Huerter did post 13 points, five rebounds and four assists in Game 3, he's really struggled to find his offensive rhythm thus far in the series. Huerter is now a combined 6-of-26 from beyond the arc, and he's scored fewer than 10 points in three of four games.
Apr 9, 2022
Registers season-high three steals
Huerter ended Friday's 113-109 loss to Miami with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Huerter tied his season high with three steals -- a mark he's reached three times -- and grabbed at least seven rebounds for the sixth time during the campaign. The fourth-year sharpshooter has been hit or miss over the last eight games, registering five 20-point games but finishing with only five points twice.
Apr 5, 2022
Bounces back in loss
Huerter provided 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 118-108 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had a poor 2-for-10 performance in Saturday's win over the Nets, and he got back on track Tuesday. The game marked his fifth 20-point effort over the past six -- arguably his best stretch of the season. It comes at a time when John Collins (finger) is presumably out for the regular season and Danilo Gallinari (knee) has periodically missed time.
Apr 1, 2022
Strikes for 23 in win
Huerter ended Thursday's 131-107 win over Cleveland with 23 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
That's now four straight games with at least 20 points for Huerter, who has stepped up down the stretch for the Hawks and helped them secure a spot in the play-in tournament. The fourth-year guard hadn't hit for 20 since late January prior to this surge, but if Atlanta is going to advance to the playoffs, Huerter may need to stay locked in from beyond the arc -- he's drained multiple threes in six straight, making a blistering 55.8 percent (24-for-43) of his long-range attempts.
Mar 31, 2022
Efficient performance in win
Huerter closed Wednesday's 136-118 win over the Thunder with 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Aside from reaching the 20-point plateau for the third straight game, Huerter was extremely efficient since he missed just two shots from the field en route to a dominant Atlanta win. Huerter has embraced the bigger responsibility on offense with several players out, and he's averaging 16.8 points per game over his last five appearances.
Mar 29, 2022
Feasts in win
Huerter finished with 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 132-123 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter knocked down six-plus threes for the third time this season. On a night where Trae Young racked up 16 assists, Hurter often found himself on the receiving end and co-led the starters with 22 points. He'll look to carry his momentum into a good matchup against the Thunder.
Mar 24, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 18, 2022
Returns to game
Huerter (back) has returned to Friday's game against Memphis, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 18, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 17, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 10, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
Huerter made at least four tiples 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
Mar 9, 2022
Good to go Wednesday
Huerter (shoulder) has been cleared to play Wednesday against Milwaukee, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter went through shootaround in the morning and has been trending in the right direction, and he's now been given the official green light to return after missing Monday's loss to the Pistons. Since the start of February, Huerter is averaging 2.2 made threes per game at a 38.2 percent clip.
Mar 9, 2022
Participates in shootaround
Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said Huerter (shoulder) went through the full shootaround ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Milwaukee, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter, who is listed as probable, sat out Monday's loss to the Pistons due to left shoulder soreness, but he should be good to go Wednesday. Across his last five appearances, he's averaged 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.8 minutes.
Mar 8, 2022
Probable Wednesday
Huerter (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter sat out Monday's game against the Pistons due to the left shoulder soreness but should be good to go Wednesday. Across his past five appearances, he's averaged 10.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.8 minutes.
Mar 7, 2022
Ruled out Monday
Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Pistons, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter suffered the injury during Friday's win over the Wizards and will be sidelined for at least one additional contest. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Bucks. In his absence, Lou Williams and Delon Wright figure to see increased run.
Mar 6, 2022
Questionable for Monday
Huerter (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game at Detroit, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter exited Friday's win over the Wizards with soreness in his left shoulder, and his availability for Monday's contest remains up in the air. Lou Williams and Delon Wright figure to see more run should Huerter be unavailable to play against the Pistons.
Mar 4, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 4, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 16, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 16, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 7, 2022
Numbers trending down
Huerter finished with 11 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 34 minutes Sunday in the Hawks' 103-94 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
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.
Feb 1, 2022
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 30, 2022
Struggles in win
Huerter registered five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three assists in 24 minutes during Sunday's 129-121 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter failed to find many opportunities in the win, attempting only five shots in 24 minutes on the floor. De'Andre Hunter's return to action has capped Huerter's recent production, and he's also dealing with a hip injury that is limiting his court time.
Jan 23, 2022
Available Sunday
Huerter (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was a game-time decision after participating in Sunday's shootaround, and he'll be able to play through his right hip contusion against Charlotte. Across his last four starts, the 23-year-old has averaged 13.0 points, 4.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 35.3 minutes per game.
Jan 23, 2022
Will be game-time decision
Huerter (hip) went through shootaround and will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest against the Hornets, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter presumably suffered the injury during Friday's win, but he was still able to score 21 points across 36 minutes. He's officially listed as questionable but appears to be trending in the right direction. If he's unable to suit up, Lou Williams, Delon Wright and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should see additional usage.
Jan 22, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Huerter is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to a right hip contusion, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was productive in Friday's win over the Heat and posted 21 points, two rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes. However, he's dealing with a right hip injury following the game. If the 23-year-old is unavailable against Charlotte, Lou Williams, Delon Wright and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should see additional usage.
Jan 22, 2022
Gets hot from distance
Huerter posted 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 110-108 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Huerter scored at least 20 points for the first time since Jan. 5. He's drawn four consecutive starts with Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) sidelined and is averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 35.3 minutes during those contests. As long as Bogdanovic remains out, Huerter will likely continue garnering a sizable enough role to be worth fantasy consideration.
Jan 16, 2022
Struggles in start
Huerter notched six points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block across 30 minutes during Saturday's 117-108 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
With Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) sidelined again, Huerter was back in the starting lineup, but he struggled to score the ball and missed all four of his three-point attempts. However, the 2018 first-round pick salaved the night by dishing out a season-high six assists. On the season, he's averaging 11.2 points, 3.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds, but his production will likely be limited when Bogdanovic is back in the rotation.
Jan 14, 2022
Gets green light
Huerter (foot) will play in Friday's matchup with the Heat, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter picked up a foot injury in Wednesday's loss to Miami and subsequently drew a questionable designation. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload in Miami.
Jan 13, 2022
Questionable with foot bruise
Huerter is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat due to a bruised left foot, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter presumably picked up the injury during Wednesday's loss to Miami, when he posted seven points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes off the bench. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Kevin Knox, who was recently acquired from the Knicks, could have increased roles if Huerter is sidelined.
Jan 12, 2022
Moves to bench
Huerter will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot moving back into the starting lineup, Huerter will shift to the bench. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 28.3 minutes per game this season.
Jan 9, 2022
Rejoins starting five
Huerter will start at small forward Sunday against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will be elevated to the top unit as a replacement for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot after averaging 20.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes while coming off the bench the past two games. The move to the starting five likely won't come with much of an uptick in playing time, given that Huerter was already holding down a sizable role.
Jan 6, 2022
Makes big impact in win
Huerter had 25 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Huerter came off the bench for the first time since Nov. 12, but he ended up with arguably his best performance of the season. The fourth-year pro not only led the Hawks with 25 points, he also pulled down a season-best 11 rebounds. Huerter hadn't previously corralled more than six rebounds in any game this season, so the big effort on the boards was a welcome surprise for his fantasy managers. Given the standout performance, the Hawks may be inclined to further assess how Huerter functions in a reserve role.
Jan 5, 2022
Not starting Wednesday
Huerter will come off the bench Wednesday against the Kings, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks are missing Trae Young (back), Bogdan Bogdanovic (COVID-19 protocols) and John Collins (COVID-19 protocols), so it's curious timing Huerter to shift to the bench. The 23-year-old should still be plenty involved of the bench given Atlanta's absences.
Jan 4, 2022
Scores 18 points in return
Huerter recorded 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 136-131 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had missed the Hawks' past six games while in league health and safety protocols, but we has able to return to the court and log a hefty amount of minutes Monday. The 23-year-old finished third on the team in scoring and efficiently converted half of his field-goal attempts, though he didn't contribute much in the way of peripheral stats. The lack of a well-rounded skill set -- Huerter is posting just 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.4 steals per game on the season -- limits his fantasy value, though he has some low-end appeal with averages of 10.8 points and 1.8 three-pointers per contest.
Jan 3, 2022
Back in starting five
Huerter is starting Monday's game against Portland, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter spent over two weeks in the league's health and safety protocols but will be back in the starting mix Monday. It's unclear how many minutes he'll be able to log after a lengthy absence, and the team has not commented as to whether he'll be on a restriction.
Jan 3, 2022
Not on injury report
Huerter (COVID-19 protocols) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter hasn't played since Dec. 17 but will be back in action Monday. It wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction during his first game back on the court.
Jan 1, 2022
Out of protocols
Huerter (COVID-19 protocols) is no longer in protocols and will join the Hawks on Monday for the game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter last played Dec. 17 and is likely to return Monday. He could be on a minutes limit in his first game back. He's started his past 16 appearances, with averages of 12.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 31.2 minutes.
Dec 26, 2021
Out again Monday
Huerter (COVID-19) will not return for Monday's game against the Bulls, Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has already missed three games since entering the league's health and safety protocols and is set to miss another, as it has been confirmed he will not be cleared in time for Monday's meeting with the Bulls. The Hawks are now up to 10 players in the league's protocols and will hope to get some healthy bodies back for when the travel to Chicago to play the Bulls again.
Dec 24, 2021
Out on Christmas Day
Huerter (COVID-19) remains in protocols for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It seemed like Huerter might exit protocols early, but he'll remain out Christmas Day. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Bulls.
Dec 23, 2021
Won't play Thursday
Huerter (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks were hopeful that Huerter would be able to suit up Thursday, but he'll miss a second straight game due to the league's health and safety protocols. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Knicks.
Dec 23, 2021
Could play Thursday
Huerter (COVID-19 protocols) may be able to play Thursday against the 76ers, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being officially listed as out, there's a chance Huerter will be able to play Thursday. He may end up missing just one game due to protocols after sitting out during Wednesday's loss to the Magic.
Dec 22, 2021
Latest Hawk to join protocols
Huerter is out in the health and safety protocols for Wednesday's contest against the Magic, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Maryland product became the sixth Hawk to enter the league's health and safety protocols. Huerter's absence leaves Delon Wright, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Cam Reddish as Atlanta's only real backcourt contributors. With six games over the next 10 days for the Hawks, Huerter may be in line to, unfortunately, miss a decent amount of games for Atlanta.
Dec 13, 2021
Woeful shooting Monday
Huerter chipped in five points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 132-126 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had one of his worst games since entering the starting lineup, frustrating managers who continue to hold him in competitive leagues. Unfortunately, he is prone to performances like this, putting a cap on his overall fantasy value. When the dust settles, he remains a must-roster player but inconsistent production should be expected by those invested in him.
Dec 6, 2021
Drills seven triples in loss
Huerter supplied 28 points (9-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 130-127 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Heurter matched his season-high total of 28 points in the loss, delivering once again for those who managed to snap him up recently. His playing time is locked in for at least the next few weeks, and while his scoring can be a little unpredictable, he is certainly deserving of a 12-team roster spot moving forward.
Dec 5, 2021
Available Sunday
Huerter (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter dealt with left quadriceps soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup but will be able to play through the issue. He's averaged 11.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 30.8 minutes per game across the last five contests.
Dec 4, 2021
Questionable vs. Charlotte
Huerter is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to left quad soreness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter could potentially miss his first game since Nov. 1. He's started the past 10 games and has averaged 12.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.9 minutes. If he sits out, more minutes could be available for Cam Reddish (illness), Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Solomon Hill.
Dec 2, 2021
Solid in win
Huerter posted 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 114-111 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter boomed for 15 points in the first half, but proceeded to attempt only three shots the rest of the game. Huerter is shooting a career-low 35 percent from three and has struggled to find a rhythm on offense this season. Managers in deeper leagues that are rostering Huerter can likely do better.
Nov 22, 2021
Turns in solid final line
Huerter ended with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 113-101 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Huerter finished in double figures for the third straight contest and for the fifth time in seven games. He's also managed to provide serviceable production elsewhere, averaging 4.4 boards and 2.8 assists over that stretch.
Nov 17, 2021
Drains five threes in win
Huerter produced 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal during Wednesday's win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Huerter finished with a superb shooting effort across 32 minutes of action, as the guard led the Hawks from deep with his second game this season converting at least five threes. Counting Wednesday's performance, Huerter has now reached double figures offensively six different times with a season-high 28 points coming Nov. 9 against the Jazz.
Nov 17, 2021
Available Wednesday
Huerter (hamstring) is active for Wednesday's contest against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old came into Wednesday's contest as a game-time decision, but suit up for Atlanta's matchup against Boston. Huerter has started the last two contests for the Hawks with De'Andre Hunter (wrist) sidelined and will presumably return to the starting lineup now that he is officially active for Wednesday night.
Nov 17, 2021
Game-time decision Wednesday
Coach Nate McMillan said Huerter (hamstring) will be a game-time decision Wednesday, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was forced out of Monday's game due to left hamstring tightness, but McMillan said he is making good progress. The 6-foot-7 wing is considered questionable, but if he isn't able to play, then Solomon Hill and Cam Reddish would be the most likely candidates to join the starting lineup.
Nov 16, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday
Huerter (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Boston, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter drew the start in place of De'Andre Hunter (wrist) on Monday, but he was forced to leave the game due to left hamstring tightness. It's a good sign that the 2018 first-round pick hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's contest yet, but his status is still up in the air. If he is sidelined, then Solomon Hill and Cam Reddish would be the most likely candidates to join the starting lineup.
Nov 15, 2021
Won't return
Huerter (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Orlando, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter suffered the injury in the first half and has now been officially shut down for the rest of the night. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time.
Nov 15, 2021
Questionable to return
Huerter suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's game against Orlando and is questionable to return, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter entered the starting lineup in place of De'Andre Hunter (wrist), but now Huerter's status for the remainder of the contest is now in question. Cam Reddish and Solomon Hill could see an uptick in playing time if Huerter is unable to return.
Nov 15, 2021
Set to start for Hunter
Huerter will make another start in place of De'Andre Hunter (wrist) on Monday night against Orlando, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter started Hunter's three previous absences, so it looks like he'll get first crack at filling in for the Virginia product, who's expected to miss roughly two months after undergoing surgery on his wrist. In Sunday's win over Milwaukee, Huerter saw 33 minutes of action and finished with 11 points, six rebounds and one assist. In his previous start Wednesday at Utah, he drained six threes en route to finishing with 28 points, three rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.
Nov 14, 2021
Starting vs. Bucks
Huerter is starting against the Bucks on Sunday, according to Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is starting in place of an injured De'Andre Hunter. Across his two starts this season, the former averaged 21.0 points (on a 61.5 field-goal percentage) and 3.5 assists.
Nov 10, 2021
Team-high 28 points
Huerter scored 28 points (11-18 FG, 6-9 3Pt), adding on three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 39 minutes in a 110-98 loss to the Jazz on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Hurter broke out offensively, easily besting his previous top effort of 16 points, while attempting double-digit shots for the first time all season. Potentially hobbled by an ankle injury of late, Huerter hadn't played more than 27 minutes until nearly logging 40 Tuesday. He will look to establish a rhythm Friday versus the Nuggets.
Nov 9, 2021
Starting for injured Bogdanovic
Huerter is starting Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
With Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) missing his first game of the year, Huerter will make his second start of the campaign. In the six games that he's seen 20-plus minutes, he's averaging 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 23.8 minutes.
Nov 4, 2021
Scores 16 in loss
Huerter finished Wednesday's loss to the Nets with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block.
ANALYSIS
After scoring only five points on 2-of-17 shooting in his previous three games, Huerter was out due to rest on Monday. The 23-year-old was certainly got out of his shooting slump in this contest Wednesday by scoring very efficiently and setting a new season-high in points. If Huerter can improve his offensive consistency he can be a very valuable player for the Hawk's second unit.
Nov 1, 2021
Rested vs. Washington
Huerter was inactive for Monday's game against the Wizards for rest purposes, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
It initially looked as though Huerter was being held out due to his lackluster performance of late, but Hawks' coach Nate McMillan stated after the game that the guard simply received the night off to rest. McMillan also noted Huerter will be ready to take the floor Wednesday in Brooklyn. The Maryland product is averaging 4.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists through his first six contests.
Nov 1, 2021
Inactive Monday
Huerter is inactive for Monday's game against the Wizards, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear as to why Huerter won't be available for Monday's clash, though it may be due to his early struggles. He's logged just 14 and 13 minutes in his last two contests, respectively, and has scored three points over that stretch. Cam Reddish and Solomon Hill should see an uptick in minutes as a result.
Oct 28, 2021
Cleared to play Thursday
Huerter (ankle) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Wizards, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Heurter was one of several Hawks regulars on the injury report, but all four of he, Trae Young, Lou Williams and Bogdan Bogdanovic will be available Thursday. Playing on one of the deepest rosters in the league, Huerter is of to a bit of a sluggish start to the season. He's scored six or fewer points in three of his four appearances and hitting only two of his 15 attempts from three.
Oct 28, 2021
Probable vs. Wizards
Huerter is probable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Huerter's ankle injury shouldn't prevent him from playing Thursday, and there's a chance he starts since Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is questionable. Huerter is having a slow start to the season, as he's averaging just 6.5 points on 33.3 percent shooting.
Oct 27, 2021
Shifts to bench
Huerter will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
With De'Andre Hunter returning to the lineup after a one-game absence, Huerter will shift back to a bench role. He's averaging 8.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 23.7 minutes per game this season.
Oct 25, 2021
Gets it rolling Monday
Huerter tallied 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal during Monday's 122-104 win against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Huerter finally got it rolling during Monday's victory, as the guard logged his first start of the season and responded by recording double figures offensively for a first time in three games. Huerter previously totaled just 10 points across the Hawks' two other games shooting just 29.4 percent overall from the floor. The former Maryland standout is currently averaging 23.7 minutes and 8.0 points per matchup this year.
Oct 25, 2021
Joins starting five
Huerter is starting Monday's game against the Pistons, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will get his first start of the season with De'Andre Hunter out due to illness. He's been unimpressive in the scoring department in his first two contests, putting up just 10 total points in 44 total minutes.
Oct 18, 2021
Agrees to four-year extension
Huerter agreed to a four-year, $65 million contract extension with the Hawks on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter appeared in 69 games with Atlanta during the 2020-21 campaign and averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 30.8 minutes per contest. He dealt with an ankle injury during the preseason in 2021 but should be available for Thursday's regular-season opener against Dallas.
Oct 14, 2021
Available against Miami
Huerter (ankle) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was probable ahead of Thursday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him ready to suit up. De'Andre Hunter (knee) is no longer listed on the injury report, so both players should see plenty of run against Miami.
Oct 13, 2021
Probable Thursday
Huerter (ankle) is probable for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been dealing with an ankle injury lately, but it should prevent him from playing in the Hawks' final tune-up game. The regular-season opener is Oct. 21 against the Mavericks.
Oct 9, 2021
Available Saturday
Huerter (ankle) is available for Saturday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 8, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Huerter (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 8, 2021
Sits out Friday's practice
Huerter (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter made his preseason debut Wednesday and scored 15 points in 26 minutes. The 2018 first-round pick's absence from practice is likely precautionary, but it'll be worth monitoring his status throughout the preseason. He will likely be a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the Grizzlies.
Oct 5, 2021
Not listed on injury report
Huerter (ankle) was not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was one of several starters for the Hawks who didn't play in the preseason opener Monday. It's unclear if the 2018 first-round pick will play Wednesday, but the fact that he is off the injury report is a good sign for his regular-season status.
Oct 3, 2021
Ruled out Monday
Huerter has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Heat due to left ankle injury management, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is one of several starters for the Hawks who won't be available Monday. However, it doesn't seem as though his status is in jeopardy for the start of the regular season.
Jun 30, 2021
Strong all-around performance
Huerter mustered 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt), seven assists, six rebounds and a steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter recorded his third double-digit scoring game of the series but also dished out seven dimes for the second straight contest, as he's been a bit more involved in the playmaking department with Trae Young (ankle) out. The 2018 first-round pick is averaging 11.8 points, 4.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game across four games in the Conference Finals.
Jun 23, 2021
Available for Game 1
Huerter (ankle) is available for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Bucks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was considered probable with left ankle soreness, so it's no surprise he's ready to play Wednesday. The 22-year-old has averaged 13.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.5 minutes as a starter over the past four games.
Jun 22, 2021
Probable for Game 1
Huerter is probable for Game 1 Wednesday at Milwaukee with a sore left ankle, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter apparently suffered the injury while putting up 27 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 40 minutes during the Game 7 win over the 76ers on Sunday, but he should still be available for the series opener versus the Bucks. The 22-year-old started the last four games against Philadelphia and averaged 13.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 36.5 minutes.
Jun 21, 2021
Leads Hawks with 27 points in win
Huerter finished with 27 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 103-96 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter saved his best for last, dropping a playoff career-high 27 points as the Hawks sent the 76ers packing. On a night when Trae Young shot just 5-of-23 from the field, Huerter certainly picked up the slack on the offensive end. Much to the surprise of many, the Hawks will now face the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, and while they will be heavy underdogs, who's to say they can't pull off another upset against a more fancied opponent.
Jun 14, 2021
Getting start Monday
Huerter will start in Game 4 against the 76ers on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will move into the starting lineup for the first time in the series as the team attempts to avoid falling behind 1-3. In the playoffs, he's averaging 10.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
May 16, 2021
Officially out Sunday
Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Cayleigh Griffin of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will miss his first game since April 30 due to left ankle soreness. Solomon Hill could see increased run.
May 16, 2021
Downgraded to questionable
Huerter (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had previously been listed as probable due to left ankle soreness, but now his status is more unclear. Huerter hasn't missed a game since April 30.
May 15, 2021
Probable Sunday
Huerter is probable for Sunday's contest against the Rockets due to left ankle soreness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is expected to play in the regular-season finale. The Hawks will finish the season somewhere between the No. 4 and No. 6 seed in the East. Across Huerter's past seven appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 26.3 minutes.
May 13, 2021
Scores 14 off bench
Huerter tallied 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 116-93 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old bounced back after a mediocre three-game stretch with the most points he's scored since April 26. Before Thursday's game, Huerter was averaging just 7.0 points on 28.6 percent shooting, so his efficient 14-point output was a welcomed sight for Atlanta and fantasy managers, alike. The third-year sharpshooter will look to build on Thursday's bounce-back scoring performance Sunday at home against the Rockets.
May 13, 2021
Not listed as starter
Huerter will come off the bench for Thursday's game against Orlando,
ANALYSIS
Huerter started the last two games, but the Hawks will apparently pivot back to Solomon Hill at the small forward spot. Hill saw only nine minutes of action against the Wizards on Wednesday, finishing with two points and two boards.
May 12, 2021
Off injury report
Huerter (hip) is no longer on the injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was initially probable with hip soreness, but he's feeling good and is fully expected to play Wednesday. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 27.2 minutes.
May 11, 2021
Probable vs. Wizards
Huerter is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Wizards due to right hip soreness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter presumably suffered the injury while playing 37 minutes during Monday's contest against the Wizards. He's struggled over the past two games, shooting just 6-for-22 from the field and 3-for-11 from deep. Ultimately, he's likely to play on the first half of the back-to-back set.
May 10, 2021
Starting Monday
Huerter will start Monday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Tony Snell (Achilles) sidelined Monday, Huerter will slide into the starting lineup after he had come off the bench in his last four games. In his last five starts, Huerter has averaged 15.6 points on 51.6 percent shooting, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 2.0 triples per game.
May 3, 2021
Will play through shoulder issue
Huerter said Monday that he'll continue to play through his sprained left shoulder, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury only kept Huerter out of two games, and he made his return to action in Saturday's 108-97 victory over the Bulls, playing 25 minutes off the bench. Huerter told reporters Monday that he'll continue to rehab the shoulder over the next few weeks, but it doesn't sound as though he expects to miss any time as the Hawks look toward the postseason. "Still a work in progress," Huerter said. "We're still doing rehab every day, and we'll probably continue to do that for the next couple of weeks or so. The feedback that I got from the doctors is that it's in a good spot. It's something I can play through."
May 1, 2021
Coming off bench in return
Huerter (shoulder) will come off the bench Saturday against the Bulls, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
After a two-game absence, Huerter will return and come off the bench while Tony Snell remains in the starting five. In 15 games as a reserve this season, Huerter has averaged 10.2 points, 3.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 25.8 minutes.
May 1, 2021
Cleared to play
Huerter (shoulder) will play Saturday against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
It's not immediately clear if Huerter will start or come off the bench. His return could mean fewer minutes for Lou Williams, Tony Snell and Solomon Hill.
May 1, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Huerter (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has missed the last two games due to a sprained left shoulder, and he's considered day-to-day. If he's unable to return Saturday, Lou Williams and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) could see increased run for Atlanta.
Apr 30, 2021
Out Friday, day-to-day
Huerter (shoulder), who is out for Friday's game, is listed as day-to-day, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter missed Wednesday's game and will sit again Friday. The 22-year-old started for the Hawks his last 14 games and averaged 15.6 points, 3.8 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals across that stretch. Coach Nate McMillan could start either Lou Williams or Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) in Huerter's place.
Apr 29, 2021
Will sit Friday
Huerter (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with a sprained shoulder, and he'll miss a second straight game after he was held out of Wednesday's loss to Philly. With the Hawks entering a back-to-back, there's a good chance Huerter will remain out Saturday against Chicago.
Apr 28, 2021
Ruled out Wednesday
Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
A sprained left shoulder landed Huerter on the initial injury report with a "doubtful" designation, so it's no surprise that he's been formally ruled out. Consider Huerter day-to-day in advance of Friday's rematch in Philly.
Apr 27, 2021
Likely out Wednesday
Huerter (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's game at Philadelphia, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old underwent an MRI on his shoulder Tuesday after suffering the injury Monday against the Pistons, and although the result of the imaging is not yet known, it's potentially a good sign he wasn't outright ruled out for Wednesday's contest. Still, Huerter is expected to miss at least one game while recovering from the shoulder issue and could miss additional time.
Apr 27, 2021
Long-term injury unlikely
General manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that Huerter has good strength and mobility in the shoulder he injured in Monday's loss to the Pistons, leaving the Hawks optimistic the wing will avoid a long-term absence, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
A firm diagnosis of the injury nor a firm timeline for his return has been provided, but Huerter has at least seemingly avoided structural damage to the shoulder or anything that require surgery. That said, Huerter appears poised to miss some time, and he's probably best viewed as doubtful for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia at this stage. Huerter at least delivered a decent line for fantasy managers before departing Monday, posting 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 27 minutes.
Apr 26, 2021
Leaves with shoulder injury
Huerter was removed from Monday's game against the Pistons due to a shoulder injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Huerter's injury is not yet known, but he was unable to return to the contest. Solomon Hill and Danilo Gallinari could see more playing time if Huerter is forced to miss additional time.
Apr 22, 2021
Puts up 17 points Wednesday
Huerter registered 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and a block across 44 minutes in Wednesday's overtime loss against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter reached the 15-point mark for the fifth straight game and has been extremely sharp in that stretch, as he's shooting 55.5 percent from the field during that five-game span. The numbers might not reflect it, but the 2018 first-round pick is thriving as a secondary scoring alternative for Atlanta over the last few games.
Apr 20, 2021
Nice two-way effort in win
Huerter collected 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three steals, two assists and two rebounds in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 112-96 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Huerter wasn't especially efficient, but he didn't commit a turnover and collected three steals. The performance marked his eighth on the season with at least three swipes and just his third time reaching that mark with zero turnovers.
Apr 19, 2021
Remains productive as scorer
Huerter has scored in double figures in each of the Hawks' last nine games, averaging 15.7 points while chipping in 4.0 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.9 minutes per contest.
ANALYSIS
Though John Collins (ankle) was back in action for Sunday's win over the Pacers in a limited capacity, his extended absence along with De'Andre Hunter's (knee) has opened up an expanded role on offense for Huerter so far in April. Huerter will likely see his production plummet to some extent once Collins gets fully ramped up, but he should continue to benefit from elevated minutes while all of Hunter, Danilo Gallinari (foot), Tony Snell (ankle), Kris Dunn (ankle) and Cam Reddish (Achilles) are working back from injuries.
Apr 16, 2021
Solid all-around effort in loss
Huerter tallied 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter continued his recent string of strong play, logging his eighth straight double-digit scoring effort. Over that span, he is posting per-game averages of 14.8 points, 4.1 assists and 2.5 rebounds. Huerter is also shooting 51.0 percent from the field over that stretch, considerably higher than his 42.7 percent mark on the season.
Apr 8, 2021
Scores 13 points on 13 attempts
Huerter tallied 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old has now scored double-digit points in four straight games, a span in which he's averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 assists and 2.2 three-pointers while shooting 52.1 percent from the field. Huerter has been on a roll lately, and he should continue providing high-end three-pointers along with decent points and assists the rest of the way for the fifth-seeded Hawks.
Apr 7, 2021
Sharp from beyond the arc
Huerter notched 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was one of three Atlanta starters that surpassed the 15-point mark and was pretty sharp from the field, making three of his four long-range shots. Huerter has been a consistent threat from beyond the arc this season and has made two or more threes in five of his last six games.
Apr 3, 2021
Bounces back in win
Huerter tallied 24 points (10-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three assists and one rebound in 33 minutes during Friday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old went from scoring zero points last Thursday to 24 points on Friday. Huerter made a season-high 10 field goals on his way to scoring a season-high 24 points. The third-year guard spent the previous four games on the bench, averaging just 6.3 points, 2.8 assists, 1.5 three-pointers while shooting 26.7 percent from the field in that span. The Hawks opted to rest Trae Young (knee) tonight, so it's not clear if Huerter will remain in the starting lineup. He'll look to build on Friday's impressive bounce-back performance Sunday at home against the Warriors.
Apr 2, 2021
Poor performance in limited minutes
Huerter didn't score any points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3PT) Thursday, but he tallied one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes of play in a 134-129 double-overtime win against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
After averaging 30.8 minutes per game this season, Huerter saw a season-low 16 minutes despite the double-overtime contest. The emergence of Bogdan Bogdanovic and the acquisition of Lou Williams have dramatically cut into Huerter's minutes, but it doesn't help that he's struggled shooting, making only 28.9 percent from the field over the last six games. Even though he didn't receive lots of playing time Thursday, the shooting guard could see his minutes increase from this season-low.
Mar 31, 2021
Remains in bench role
Huerter has come off the bench for each of the Hawks' last three games.
ANALYSIS
Huerter moved to the bench for Friday's game against the Warriors, and he's remained there for the subsequent two contests while the Hawks roll with Bogdan Bogdanovic as the starting two-guard. Huerter has still played between 23 and 28 minutes in all three games, but he's averaged just 8.3 points, 3.3 assists and 0.3 steals. The Maryland product did show signs of life Tuesday against Phoenix, finishing with 12 points (3-6 3Pt), three assists, one steal and one board in 26 minutes.
Mar 26, 2021
Coming off bench Friday
Huerter isn't starting Friday's game against the Warriors, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter will retreat to the bench for the first time since Jan. 15 after he averaged just 6.7 points and 2.3 rebounds over 28.3 minutes per game across the past three contests. Bogdan Bogdanovic will join the starting five in his place.
Mar 17, 2021
Hits three triples in win
Huerter had 16 points (6-13 Fg, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in Tuesday's win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks were the latest team to take advantage of the free-falling Rockets, who have now dropped 17 consecutive games. Huerter had one of his better all-around games in recent weeks, adding three steals and knocking down multiple three-pointers for the fifth straight game. The Maryland product has at least one three in every game since Jan. 22.
Mar 4, 2021
Solid two-way performance
Huerter contributed 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in the Hawks' 115-112 victory over the Magic on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Huerter continued his strong two-way play by scoring in double figures for the fourth straight game and playing good defense. The guard has also been solid as a distributor of late, picking up at least three assists in five straight games. Despite shooting a career-low 36.3 percent from three, Huerter had a solid first half of the year as he averaged 12.1 points, 3.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
Mar 2, 2021
Continues consistent production
Huerter scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with two rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
While a few Hawks saw their minutes and production fall in interim coach Nate McMillan's first game, Huerter continued to produce consistently. He's now scored in double-digits with at least four assists and 30 minutes in four of his last five contests. Huerter's role could shrink when Cam Reddish (Achilles) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) return, though Hunter in particular may remain out for the foreseeable future.
Mar 2, 2021
Removed from injury report
Huerter (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game at Miami.
ANALYSIS
Huerter landed on the initial injury report with a probable designation following Sunday's game against the Heat, in which he played 41 minutes and finished with 13 points, four rebounds, four assists and a season-high six steals. He's now been removed from the report, so expect the Maryland product to be cleared for a full workload Tuesday night. With that said, the return of Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) from a long-term injury could cut into Huerter's playing time.
Mar 1, 2021
Listed probable for Tuesday
Huerter is considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to upper back tightness, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter's status doesn't look to be in much jeopardy, but the back issue is something to keep an eye on, should it worsen over the next 24 hours. While Huerter has struggled shooting the ball of late -- 25.8% 3Pt over his last 10 games -- he came away with a season-high six steals in Sunday's game against Miami.
Mar 1, 2021
Records six steals Sunday
Huerter had 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six steals, four rebounds and four assists across 41 minutes in Sunday's win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Huerter made his presence felt on defense and was a reliable playmaking threat, but his offensive struggles continued Sunday -- he failed to reach the 15-point mark for the eighth time over his last 10 contests and it seems his shot has simply abandoned him. He is averaging 10.1 points while shooting 38 percent from the field and 25.8 percent from three-point range during that 10-game stretch.
Feb 26, 2021
Struggles from three
Huerter scored 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes in Friday's loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Huerter reached double-digit points for the fourth time in his last nine contests, but wasn't particularly effective with his shot. He struggled particularly in the first half when he converted only two of his seven shots from the field. Positively, he chipped in solid peripheral stats and is now averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 33 games this season.
Feb 25, 2021
Takes backseat in blowout win
Huerter recorded five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-112 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Essentially half of the fourth quarter in Wednesday's game was pure garbage time, which is why Huerter's minutes were low. He struggled from the field, but it went largely unnoticed, as the night was about Danilo Gallinari's huge 38-point performance. Still, as a whole, Huerter has been inefficient lately. Over his past eight appearances, he's averaged just 9.1 points on 38.4 percent shooting, including a low 27.3 percent from deep.
Feb 23, 2021
Scores 22 in loss
Huerter finished with 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, three boards, and one assist in 37 minutes of a 112-111 loss to Cleveland on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Huerter took more control over the game, attempting the most shots from the field than he had in eight games. After a hot start to the year, the 2018 first round pick has hit a rough patch, but he could be moving into the clear with back-to-back double-digit scoring efforts. He'll face the Celtics on Wednesday.
Feb 21, 2021
Struggles from three again
Huerter finished with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in Sunday's win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter made at least half of his field goals for the first time in six games, but he remains mired in a slump from beyond the arc. He's hit exactly one three in five of his last six games after hitting multiple triples in eight of his previous nine contests. In that six-game stretch, Huerter is a combined 7-of-33 from three-point range.
Feb 19, 2021
Modest output in loss
Huerter recorded five points (2-7 FG 1-5 3Pt, three assists, two rebounds and one block over 30 minutes in Friday's 121-109 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been an inconsistent contributor for Atlanta recently, and he matched his second-lowest scoring total of the season in Friday's loss to the Celtics. He's played at least 30 minutes in each of the last four contests, but he's failed to score in double figures over his last three appearances. While Huerter should continue to see plenty of playing time while Rajon Rondo (back) is unavailable, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy performer on a consistent basis.
Feb 14, 2021
Ties season high in assists
Huerter had 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 10 assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal in Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter's 10 assists tied his season high in the category from his Feb. 3 performance against the Mavericks. His average of 3.8 assists (across 26 games) slots him as the Hawks' tertiary distributor behind Trae Young (9.4) and Rajon Rondo (3.9). If neither of them is available, Huerter can play a larger role and add a second element to his game that makes him more valuable.
Feb 10, 2021
Continues strong play
Huerter scored 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter continued his strong stretch of scoring, topping 15 points for the fourth consecutive game. He did the majority of his damage from beyond the arc and has averaged 3.8 triples in that same four contest span. In addition to his scoring, Huerter is averaging a career-best 1.2 steals per game on the season.
Feb 6, 2021
Available Saturday
Huerter (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter will continue to play through left ankle soreness. Since entering the starting five, he's averaged 12.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 35.7 minutes.
Feb 5, 2021
Probable Saturday
Huerter (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter played well Thursday despite the ankle soreness, posting 16 points, three steals, one rebound, one assist and one block in 34 minutes. There's a good chance he plays again Saturday.
Feb 5, 2021
Plays well despite sore ankle
Huerter (ankle) recorded 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three steals, one rebound, one assist and one block across 34 minutes Thursday in a 112-91 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is one of few Hawks players who could say they had a good performance Thursday. He was both the only starter who shot above 40 percent and the team leader in steals. Despite dealing with a sore ankle, Huerter recorded his second start of the season with at least 15 points and three steals.
Feb 4, 2021
Playing, starting Thursday
Huerter (ankle) will play and start Thursday against the Jazz, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter will play through left ankle soreness. Across the past five games, he's averaging 12.0 points, 4.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 36.2 minutes.
Feb 4, 2021
Probable with ankle soreness
Huerter is probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to left ankle soreness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with a sore ankle after Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks, but he should still play Thursday. Across the past five games, he's averaging 12.0 points, 4.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 36.2 minutes.
Feb 3, 2021
Notches big double-double
Huerter scored 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3PT, 1-1 FT) to go along with five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter matched his season-high scoring mark and topped 20 points for the first time Dec. 26 -- largely on the strength of deep shooting. He also set a career-high with 10 assists to notch his second double-double of the season. Huerter is averaging over 30 minutes per game this season as the Hawks have dealt with numerous injuries in their backcourt early on. Even so, his performance has largely been in line with his first two campaigns in the NBA, though he's ticked his steals up to 1.1 per game through 21 contests
Jan 30, 2021
Hauls in five rebounds
Huerter logged five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes in Friday's 116-100 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was averaging 12.0 points per game over the past two contests, but he was far less efficient from the floor in Friday's win. He got into some foul trouble during the game but didn't see a significant drop in playing time as a result. The 22-year-old was still moderately productive in other areas despite his lackluster results on the scoreboard.
Jan 27, 2021
Bounces back Tuesday
Huerter delivered 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and a block across 35 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was coming off back-to-back single-digit scoring performances, but he bounced back with a strong 13-point outing that also saw him drain all three of his shots from behind the arc. Huerter is one of the most effective three-point shooters in the league, and while his scoring numbers might never be very high, he still provides value in that specific category. He is making 45.8 percent of his three-point attempts over his last five games.
Jan 23, 2021
Goes cold Friday
Huerter managed four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 116-98 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Huerter failed to convert a three-pointer for just the second time this season, and he took fewer than 10 shots for the first time since Jan. 11. With the Hawks almost entirely healthy again, aside from Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee), Huerter's usage could take a bit of a dip. He'll still be an excellent source of threes -- hitting 2.0 per game at 36.1 percent -- but he probably won't be averaging the 5.3 assists per game he was in the three games prior to Friday.
Jan 22, 2021
Starting again Friday
Huerter is starting Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Even with Cam Reddish (knee) active with a 25-minute limit Friday, Huerter will be in the starting five for a fourth consecutive game. Over the past three contests, the 22-year-old is averaging 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists over 38.7 minutes per game.
Jan 18, 2021
Big game in win over Wolves
Huerter had 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3PT), eight assists, six rebounds and four steals in Monday's win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
All five starters scored in double-figures for the Hawks, while Huerter and Trae Young combined for 21 of the team's 32 assists. Huerter broke out of a mini shooting slump, hitting three three-pointers after going just 2-of-12 from deep over his previous three games.
Jan 18, 2021
Making another start Monday
Huerter will start Monday's game against Minnesota, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Cam Reddish (knee) missing another game, Huerter will make his second consecutive start at shooting guard. In Saturday's loss to Portland, Huerter posted 13 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer in 36 minutes. Huerter is known for his outside shooting, but he's been mired in a minor slump of late, hitting just two of 12 attempts over the last three games.
Jan 17, 2021
Posts serviceable line in start
Huerter contributed 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 112-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter moved into the starting five for the first time this season while Cam Reddish (knee) was sidelined. The appointment to the top unit came with a season-high minutes total for Huerter, who was a solid complementary scorer behind Trae Young (26 points) and Clint Capela (25 points). The Hawks could get Reddish back for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, and Danilo Gallinari (ankle) doesn't look to be far behind either, so expect Huerter's playing time to trend back down during the upcoming week.
Jan 16, 2021
Enters starting lineup
Huerter will start Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old will receive his first start of the season with Cam Reddish (knee) unavailable for Saturday's contest. Huerter is averaging 11.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steal in 26.7 minutes this season, but he could have a heavier workload at Portland.
Jan 11, 2021
Good to go Monday
Huerter (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the 76ers, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Huerter will be available off the bench after carrying a probable designation into the day. Huerter has scored in double-figures in four of his last five games, and he's attempted 22 three-pointers over the last two games alone.
Jan 10, 2021
Listed as probable
Huerter (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter played 33 minutes off the bench in each of the last two games, but he's apparently dealing with left ankle soreness. However, he appears to be likely to play in Monday's contest.
Jan 7, 2021
Hits five threes in loss
Huerter put up 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt), six assists, and five rebounds across 33 minutes of Wednesday's 102-94 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was the only Hawk who was any good from three-point land on the evening, as the rest of his teammates went a combined 2-for-28. It was just the 22-year-old's second game with more than 13 points so far this year, and he also put up a season high in assists.
Jan 4, 2021
Expected to play
Huerter (ankle) is expected to be active for Monday's game against the Knicks, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with a left ankle issue, but coach Lloyd Pierce sounded encouraged by his progress. Pierce noted that Huerter is going through a pregame workout, after which he'll be re-evaluated.
Jan 3, 2021
Questionable for Monday
Huerter (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter rolled his ankle late in Saturday's loss to the Cavs, and while it doesn't look to be anything that'll lead to an extended absence, it's possible he could miss a game or two. Huerter finished Saturday's game with 13 points and 10 boards in 28 minutes.
Jan 2, 2021
Leaves with ankle injury
Huerter rolled an ankle during Saturday's 96-91 loss to the Cavaliers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old suffered the injury during the closing stages of the contest, and the specifics of the issue remain unclear. Huerter finished with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block before heading to the locker room. He should be considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Knicks until his status is updated.
Jan 2, 2021
Scores 10 off bench
Huerter had 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3PT), two assists and four steals in Friday's win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The Maryland product has come off the bench in all five of the Hawks' games thus far, but he's still managed to be productive, posting three double-digit scoring efforts, while hitting 2.0 threes per contest. His four steals Friday were his most since Feb. 22 of last season.
Dec 23, 2020
Cleared for opener
Huerter (elbow) is available for Wednesday's season opener against the Bulls, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, despite right elbow soreness, Huerter will see the court. With Clint Capela (Achilles) out, Huerter could see increased run if coach Lloyd Pierce opts to go small.
Dec 22, 2020
Should play Wednesday
Huerter is probable for Wednesday's season opener at Chicago due to right elbow soreness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old dealt with an ankle injury during the preseason, but he's now dealing with the elbow issue. The injury appears minor, and Huerter should be good to go off the bench Wednesday.
Dec 21, 2020
Fourth-year option picked up
The Hawks exercised Huerter's team option for the 2021-22 season Monday.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta also picked up options for Trae Young, De'Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish, maintaining the rights of all four players through their third or fourth NBA seasons. With the offseason additions of Bogdan Bogdanovic, Danilo Gallinari, Kris Dunn, Tony Snell and Rajon Rondo, Huerter is expected to see a downturn in playing time in 2020-21 after he averaged 31.4 minutes per game in his second season.
Dec 17, 2020
Cleared to play
Huerter (ankle) will play Thursday against the Grizzlies, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was probable, so this isn't a surprise. He'll be on a minutes restriction of about 25 minutes in Thursday's action while coming off the bench.
Dec 17, 2020
Upgraded to probable
Huerter (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was previously listed as questionable for the contest. In his two appearances so far, he's averaging 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.7 minutes.
Dec 16, 2020
Questionable for Thursday
Huerter is questionable for Thursday's preseason game at Memphis due to left ankle soreness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was probable for Sunday's exhibition due to the left ankle issue and ended up playing 32 minutes, and the injury is apparently still bothersome. Huerter still has a chance to play Thursday, but the Hawks are likely to be cautious with the start of the regular season only one week away.
Dec 13, 2020
Starting Sunday
Huerter will start Sunday's preseason game against the Magic, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter came off the bench in Friday's preseason opener, finishing with eight points, three assists, a steal and a block in 21 minutes. He'll shake off a minor ankle injury to enter the starting lineup Sunday, as Bogdan Bogdanovic shifts to a reserve role. The position battle will be one to monitor as the regular season approaches.
Dec 12, 2020
Probable for Sunday
Huerter is probable for Sunday's preseason game against the Magic due to left ankle soreness, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter posted eight points, three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block during the preseason opener, but he's now dealing with some ankle sorness. That said, he's still expected to play.
Mar 11, 2020
Cleared to play
Huerter (groin) will play Wednesday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was battling some minor left groin soreness after Monday's game, but he'll be available in his usual capacity.
Mar 10, 2020
Nursing sore grion
Huerter is dealing with left groin soreness and is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was also probable for Monday's double-overtime win over the Hornets, and he showed no limitations with 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six assists and five rebounds across 46 minutes. Huerter should take up his usual spot in the starting lineup Wednesday.
Mar 10, 2020
Underwhelms in double-OT win
Huerter (groin) tallied 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six assists and five rebounds across 46 minutes Monday in the Hawks' 143-138 double-overtime victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Considering the big minutes he played in addition to the up-tempo nature of the contest, Huerter's stat line qualified as a disappointment. Fantasy managers can probably look the other way, as Huerter's production has generally been trending upward of late. He's routinely ticked off every column of the stat sheet over his last seven games, averaging 13.6 points, 5.7 dimes, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 triples, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks during that stretch.
Mar 9, 2020
Off injury report
Huerter (groin) wasn't listed on Monday's injury report and will play against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter, who suffered a minor groin injury dueting Saturday's game against Memphis, will take the court against the Hornets. On the year, the 21-year-old's averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 31.2 minutes per game.
Mar 8, 2020
Probable for Monday
Huerter is considered probable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to a sore left groin, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter apparently picked up the injury Saturday night against Memphis, but the Hawks don't expect him to miss time.
Mar 7, 2020
Double-double in loss
Huerter had 14 points (67-14 FG, 2-8 3PT) and 11 assists in Friday's loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Despite an off night from three, Huerter scored in double-figures for the fifth straight game. His 11 assists marked a season-best.
Mar 2, 2020
Scores 13 in loss
Huerter had 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five boards, four assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes of a loss to Memphis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had an inefficient shooting day from the field despite finishing with the second most points on his team. The Hawks kept up with the Grizzlies through the first half before being run out of the arena in the second half. Huerter will look to bounce back Friday against Washington.
Mar 1, 2020
Solid all-around outing
Huerter compiled 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 35 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 129-117 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter reached double figures in scoring for the third straight game and was able to complement the offense with one of his better all-around stat lines of the season. The eight assists matched a career high for Huerter, who looks like a solid back-end roster option in most 12-team leagues.
Feb 28, 2020
Ready to go Friday
Huerter (groin) is available for Friday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was considered probable with a groin injury, so it's no surprise he'll be suiting up Friday. The 21-year-old is averaging 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.0 minutes over the last five games.
Feb 27, 2020
Expected to play Friday
Huerter (groin) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter is dealing with a groin injury, though it isn't expected to keep him from taking the court Friday against Brooklyn. He's averaging 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.0 minutes over his past five games.
Feb 24, 2020
Struggles in loss
Huerter collected nine points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 38 minutes in Monday's 129-112 loss versus the Sixers.
ANALYSIS
Huerter struggled to get anything going in this difficult matchup and this is the second straight game that he has failed to provide double-digit points. However, the second-year guard still logged 38 minutes in the loss and has received over 30 minutes in 15 consecutive contests. He will look to get back on track this Wednesday night when the Hawks host the Magic.
Feb 24, 2020
Career high four steals in win
Huerter accumulated three points (1-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt), six assists, four steals and three rebounds across 39 minutes during Saturday's 111-107 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Huerter wasn't able to get his shot going, but he made up for it by securing a career-high four steals, plus a solid six assists. Saturday's effort also marked the first time in 10 games that Huerter failed to drop double-digit points, but he's having a strong month overall, averaging 15.3 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds in February.
Feb 20, 2020
Scores 17 in victory
Huerter put up 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 129-124 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Over his last four games prior to this one, Huerter was posting appealing numbers, with 16.0 points, 5.3 dimes and 2.5 threes per game, while making all of his free-throw attempts over that time span. The primary factor holding his value back during that time period was his 38.3 percent shooting from the field. After missing several games with a knee issue this season, Huerter will hopefully find his rhythm again after getting some rest during the All-Star break.
Feb 20, 2020
Good to go Thursday
Huerter (illness) is available Thursday against the Heat, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter, who was listed as probable due to an allergic reaction, will take the court as expected Thursday. Across seven games this month, the second-year player out of Maryland is averaging 16.9 points, 4.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 38.9 minutes.
Feb 20, 2020
Probable due to allergic reaction
Huerter is probable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to an allergic reaction, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Huerter's reaction isn't clear, but the team doesn't seem too worried about his availability for Thursday's contest. Across Huerter's past eight appearances, he's averaging 16.3 points, 3.9 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 38.1 minutes.
Feb 10, 2020
Dishes seven assists
Huerter produced 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), seven assists and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Monday's 135-126 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has handed out at least six dimes in three straight games and seven times across 44 appearances this season. Furthermore, Huerter has also scored in double figures in seven straight tilts and will look to deliver another quality stat line during Wednesday's matchup versus the Cavaliers.
Feb 8, 2020
Hits for 25 in loss
Huerter scored 25 points (8-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding seven rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block in 43 minutes during Friday's 112-107 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
With Trea Young (ankle) in street clothes, Huerter stepped up with his best scoring performance since he dropped 26 on the Pacers back on Jan. 4. The second-year guard has scored 20 or more points in three of his last four games, averaging 19.8 points, 3.8 boards, 3.8 threes and 3.5 assists over that stretch.
Feb 7, 2020
Cleared to play
Huerter (hip) is available Friday against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter will take the court despite a hip injury. Over the past six games, he's averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 37.7 minutes.
Feb 6, 2020
Expected to play Friday
Huerter (hip) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been dealing with adductor pain lately, but it hasn't stopped him from playing. Over the past six games, he's averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 37.7 minutes.
Feb 5, 2020
Cools off with 11 points
Huerter chipped in 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists Wednesday night, as the Hawks beat the Timberwolves 127-120.
ANALYSIS
Huerter slowed down a bit in this one, cooling off from deep after averaging 5.5 threes made over his last two outings. Over his previous three games prior to this one, the 21-year old has been a top 60 player in nine-category leagues, putting up 18.3 points, 4.3 triples and 2.3 assists, while shooting 51.2 percent from the field. In addition, Huerter has been a top 100 player on the season, and is worth owning virtually everywhere.
Feb 5, 2020
Good to go Wednesday
Huerter (hip) is no longer listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Huerter has been cleared to take the court Wednesday in Minnesota. The second-year player out of Maryland is averaging 16.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steal across 37.8 minutes over his past five games.
Feb 4, 2020
Probable Tuesday
Huerter is listed as probable for Wednesday's tilt with the Timberwolves due to adductor pain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter's presence on the injury report seems precautionary at this point, but it is still something to keep an eye on. He has been hot lately and will look to keep that going assuming he can avoid any setbacks.
Feb 4, 2020
Remains hot from deep
Huerter notched 23 points (9-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Huerter continues to make an impact from three-point range, and he has connected multiple threes in each of his last five games. The second-year guard is averaging 45.2 percent from deep during that stretch, and he will look to keep that run going Wednesday at Minnesota.
Feb 2, 2020
Makes six treys
Huerter contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 123-100 loss at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Huerter averaged 13.9 points while shooting 44.1 percent from deep during january, and he couldn't have starter February on a stronger note after tying his season-high mark for threes made. Huerter has connected at least two triples in six of his last seven games and is shooting 40.8 percent from deep over that span, meaning he should provide decent upside in that category across all formats.
Jan 23, 2020
Inefficient in win
Huerter supplied 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes during the Hawks' 102-95 win over the Clippers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Huerter checked in with the third-highest scoring tally on the night for the Hawks, although he was significantly behind the pace set by team leader John Collins (33 points). The second-year guard is in the midst of a brief but significant shooting funk, as he's drained just 27.3 percent of his 33 attempts over that span. The slump follows a very strong start to the new calendar year for Huerter, who'd shot 48.2 percent, including 51.9 percent from distance, on his way to averaging 17.6 points across his first eight games of January.
Jan 18, 2020
Delivers dud versus Pistons
Huerter had two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 24 minutes during Saturday's 136-103 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Huerter had as many turnovers (two) as points while struggling from the field and failing to make an impact in other areas. It was the second night of a back-to-back, so maybe fatigue played a part in his poor performance. Still, this is the type of showing that can result in fantasy owners understandably losing some confidence in Huerter heading into Monday's matchup versus the Raptors.
Jan 18, 2020
Solid scoring output in win
Huerter had 18 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3PT), two rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 121-120 win at San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has scored in double digits in eight of his last nine contests, and he is averaging 17.8 points while shooting nearly 50 percent from deep during that stretch. He is emerging as a reliable scoring threat for the Hawks, and he will aim to extend that solid run of form Saturday at home against the Pistons.
Jan 14, 2020
Teases triple-double against Suns
Huerter scored 23 points (8-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding 15 rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 123-110 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The boards and assists were both career highs for the second-year guard, as he delivered his first double-double of the season and the second of his career. Consistency remains an issue for Huerter -- he scored just eight points Sunday, when the Hawks needed him to step up in Trae Young's absence -- but he continues to show flashes of his upside as a complementary option to Young in the Atlanta backcourt.
Jan 9, 2020
Scores 11 points
Huerter had 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 loss against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Huerter extended his double-digit scoring streak to five games, and he is averaging 19.0 points while shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from three over that span. He should remain a reliable scoring threat ahead of Friday's road matchup at the Wizards.
Jan 3, 2020
Clear of injury report
Huerter (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Celtics, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was originally considered probable due to mid-back pain, but he's apparently clear of the injury come gameday. The 21-year-old is averaging 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steal in 25.6 minutes and should see his usual workload at Boston.
Dec 17, 2019
On track to play Tuesday
Huerter (shoulder) took part in the Hawks' morning shootaround and is expected to play Tuesday against the Knicks without any minutes restriction, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter exited the Hawks' previous game Sunday against the Lakers with a bruised left shoulder, the same shoulder he strained earlier this season and forced an 11-game absence. Fortunately for Huerter, his latest setback with the shoulder isn't nearly as concerning, as his lack of a minutes restriction suggests. Huerter has started each of the Hawks' past five games, averaging 7.4 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.0 steal in 25.4 minutes while shooting 35.1 percent from the field.
Dec 16, 2019
Questionable Tuesday
Huerter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against New York, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Maryland product left Sunday's game against the Lakers early due to a left shoulder contusion. As a result, Huerter is officially deemed questionable for Tuesday's matchup. Look for Cam Reddish to garner a spot-start if Huerter ultimately needs to sit out against the Knicks.
Dec 15, 2019
Won't return Sunday
Huerter suffered a shoulder injury and won't return to Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Although the extent of the issue is unclear, it's a particularly concerning injury as it's to the same shoulder that caused Huerter to miss 11 games in November. The Hawks will likely provide more detailed information about Huerter's potential timeline for return after the game, but, considering it's likely a reaggravation of the previous issue, there's a good chance he could miss Tuesday's game against the Knicks. Prior to leaving, the second-year guard had recorded five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes.
Dec 8, 2019
Starting with 25-minute restriction
Huerter (shoulder) will start Sunday's game at Charlotte and be limited to 25 minutes, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter was expected to be limited to 20 minutes Sunday after playing 15 minutes in his return to action Dec. 4, but he'll have a slightly longer leash against the Hornets. The 21-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 21.9 minutes, though he was seeing a higher workload in the games leading up to the shoulder injury.
Dec 6, 2019
Remains on 20-minute restriction

Nearing return to game action
Huerter (shoulder) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Huerter's strained left rotator cuff will keep him in street clothes for an 11th consecutive game Monday, but it doesn't look like his absence will extend much longer than that. Per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, Huerter said over the weekend that he's eyeing a return to action at some point later this week, with Wednesday's game against the Nets representing his next opportunity to play.

Making small strides
Huerter (shoulder) has been cleared to begin modified on-court activities and return-to-play rehab, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Huerter has been nursing a left rotator cuff strain since Nov. 14, but it's good to see that he's been cleared for on-court drills this soon. The Hawks have already ruled him out for their upcoming three-game road trip, and he's unlikely to return to game action until mid-to-late December given his 4-to-5 week timetable.
Nov 19, 2019
Timeline pushed back
Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that he anticipates Huerter (shoulder) will be sidelined around 4-to-5 weeks, Mike Conti of 92-9 The Game Atlanta reports.
ANALYSIS
When Huerter was diagnosed Nov. 14 with a left rotator cuff strain, the Hawks declined to put a timeline on the guard's return beyond relaying that he would be re-evaluated in two weeks. Schlenk's comments suggest that Huerter will likely be sidelined for at least a month, with the four-week timeline ensuring that the 21-year-old won't be back until at least Dec. 10. Given that Huerter is considered a core piece for the Hawks, it wouldn't be surprising if the team took a conservative approach with his recovery. In the meantime, the likes of Cam Reddish, De'Andre Hunter, Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe should benefit from more run on the wing.

No timetable for return

Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it sounds like the second-year player could still be in for a lengthy absence.

In the meantime, Cam Reddish is starting in his place Thursday against the Suns.

While X-rays came back clean, he underwent an MRI on Wednesday to confirm the severity of the issue; Huerter's test results will be further evaluated by team doctors before a timetable for his return is determined. Seeing as he's headed back to Atlanta for further evaluation, it wouldn't be surprising if Huerter missed the remainder of Atlanta's road trip, which runs through Sunday.
