Professional career

In 2002 during training camp with the Magic he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and missed 49 games of the 2002-2003 NBA season.[1]

In the 2005 offseason, he signed with the 76ers as a free agent. They traded him to the New Orleans Hornets on February 1, 2006 in exchange for two second-round draft picks in 2006 and 2007. On February 10, Philadelphia president Billy King announced that the Hornets rescinded the deal.

On September 10, 2007, Hunter was traded with Bobby Jones by the 76ers to the Denver Nuggets for Reggie Evans and the draft rights to Ricky Sanchez.[2]

On August 7, 2009, the Nuggets traded Hunter and a lottery-protected 2010 first-round draft pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for a future second-round pick.[3]

In October 2011 he signed with Dinamo Sassari in Italy.[4]

In 2014, Hunter would become the Phoenix Suns' ambassador throughout the community in Arizona.
