De'Andre Hunter Misses Wednesday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (foot) will remain out on Wednesday against Chicago. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix and hasn't shaken off foot soreness in 24 hours.

Keyonte George Available Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (heel) will return from a five-game absence on Wednesday against Charlotte.
