Dyson Daniels Latest News
Dealt to Atlanta
Daniels, Larry Nance and two first-round picks were traded from the Pelicans to the Hawks for Dejounte Murray, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. As expected, the Hawks have dealt one of their two backcourt starters, now shifting to a younger look after drafting Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. It's easy to forget Daniels was selected with the No. 8 pick in 2022, as he struggled to find consistent minutes due to injury and an influx of win-now talent on New Orleans' roster. Daniels, at 6-foot-7, 199 pounds, is a versatile on-ball defender who can disrupt players across the board. On offense, he's shown playmaking upside, but he struggles shooting the ball. It's not a perfect fit next to Trae Young, but it's the right player to take a chance on during a soft rebuild.
Will play Tuesday
Daniels (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against Portland. Daniels will shed his questionable tag after battling some left knee soreness. There's no word of any restrictions heading into tipoff, so presumably, Daniels will see his usual allotment of minutes.
Dealing with left knee soreness
Daniels is questionable to play Tuesday versus Portland due to left knee soreness. Daniels' diagnosis of left knee soreness is notable context after the 21-year-old was sidelined for the majority of February and March following meniscus surgery on his left knee. The Pelicans could proceed with caution in his workload, so Daniels' status needs be monitored.
Returns to second unit
Daniels isn't starting Sunday against Phoenix. Since Zion Williamson (finger) is back in action Sunday, Daniels will retreat to the bench after starting Friday against the Spurs. Daniels has averaged 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 23.0 minutes across his last two appearances off the bench. Notably, Naji Marshall (shoulder) is unavailable Sunday, vacating the 20.7 minutes he has averaged over his past six appearances.
Enters starting lineup
Daniels will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. Zion Williamson (finger) is being held out Friday, so the Pelicans will roll with a smaller lineup. Daniels is a solid stream for fantasy managers in need of assists, rebounds and defensive stats.
Strong effort in loss, ejected late
Daniels provided 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic. Daniels came up just one point shy of his season high. He's played well since returning from a 21-game absence. In his last three appearances, he's averaged 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 steals in 19.0 minutes. He should continue to see elevated minutes and usage while Brandon Ingram (knee) is sidelined. Daniels, along with Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy, were ejected with seven seconds left to go in the loss after arguing with an official.
Settling in nicely
Daniels registered nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Suns. Daniels skyrocketed from 11 to 25 minutes of action in his second game back following meniscus surgery. He would have finished with six assists if not for a Trey Murphy missed dunk in transition. Daniels' momentum puts him on track to play a sizable role while Brandon Ingram (knee) is inactive.
Logs 11 minutes in return
Daniels closed Saturday's 104-92 loss to the Celtics with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 11 minutes. Saturday's contest marked the first time Daniels saw the court since Feb. 9 after undergoing meniscus surgery on his left knee. Before his 21-game absence, Daniels was averaging 21.9 minutes off the bench, and the 2022 first-round pick will look to work his way back to that level of playing time heading into the postseason.
Good to go Saturday
Daniels (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus the Celtics, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Daniels has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing New Orleans' last 21 games due to a left knee injury. However, the 20-year-old guard will likely operate under a minutes restriction.
