It's been the ongoing question for the last few weeks of when will or won't (and maybe if) De'Andre Hunter will be back for the Atlanta Hawks.
Hunter underwent a non-surgical procedure after leaving the game against the Washington Wizards back in late January. The timetable about his return has been uncertain.
General manager Travis Schlenk made it seem that it was Hunter's decision on when he wants to return telling 92.9 The Game that he wasn't comfortable playing on the knee injury yet.
However, we may have gotten a clear timeline: this week.
Head coach Nate McMillan joined the Midday Show on Friday and seemingly gave us the answer we were looking for.
"We anticipate that Dre will be coming back this week, and we have to work him into rotation," McMillan told Andy and Randy.
Atlanta Hawks head coach Nate McMillan told @TBM929 and @randymac81 on @929TheGame that they expect De'Andre Hunter back this week.

"Tomorrow he'll practice with us. He's been practicing 3-on-3 but tomorrow he'll actually be able to go live with us in some 5-on-5 because we will be having a live practice tomorrow...we're expecting him to participate in that and see how he comes out of that, and if everything works out after tomorrow's practice--his Sunday's practice--we're hoping that he'll be in uniform on Monday."
