- Hunter sustained the retinal detachment in the third quarter of a Feb. 6 game against the Clippers during his second appearance for Sacramento.
- He had initially been listed with left eye iritis before further evaluation led to the decision for surgery.
- The forward appeared in only two games for the Kings after arriving in a three-team trade earlier in February.
- Hunter becomes the third Sacramento starter lost for the season this week, following procedures for Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Zach LaVine (hand), as the Kings skid reached 15 straight losses to fall to 12-45.
