  • The retinal detachment occurred in his second game for Sacramento on Feb. 6 against the Clippers after an initial diagnosis of left eye iritis.
  • Hunter was acquired in a recent three-team trade and appeared in only two games for the Kings after playing 43 with Cleveland.
  • Across 45 games this season, he averaged 13.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists, though he shot 30.5% from three.
  • He is the third King to have season-ending surgery this week, joining Domantas Sabonis (left knee meniscus repair) and Zach LaVine (right fifth finger tendon repair), with Sacramento at 12-45 on a 15-game losing streak.
