The Hawks ruled out De’Andre Hunter ahead of their matchup against the Nuggets on Monday. Hunter will miss the game with right quad soreness as the reigning NBA champions make their only appearance at State Farm Arena this season.
Now the Hawks will have to make an adjustment without the size that Hunter adds to the rotation against a big Nuggets team.
Ahead of the game, coach Quin Snyder mentioned that Hunter’s absence highlighted even more how important execution would be.
”There’s some things, it doesn’t matter how big you are, or how strong you are,” Snyder said. “You got to focus on those things and that‘s true of anybody, no matter’s who’s playing. So, I think our focus is to go to that part of the game and just execute even on a higher level.”
The Hawks and Nuggets tip off at 7:30 p.m. on Monday night at State Farm Arena.
