Hawks guard Dyson Daniels' passion for golf helps him settle into his new city When it’s time to step away and get his mind back to the right place, Hawks guard Dyson Daniels heads to the golf course.
Strong two-way performance Daniels compiled 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-7 3PT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Thunder.
Impact Daniels remained in the starting lineup, a role that could very well be his for the taking when the season starts next week. He makes sense as a defensive stopper alongside Trae Young, with Bogdan Bogdanovic providing a scoring punch off the bench. Despite his limited offensive upside, Daniels should be considered late in drafts, especially for his defensive capabilities and out-of-position rebounding.

Productive in spot start Daniels finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), a rebound, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason win over the Pacers.
Impact Daniels got the start alongside Trae Young in the backcourt since Bogdan Bogdanovic was rested, and the former Pelicans guard did a solid job on both ends of the court. That said, Daniels is expected to open the regular season on a bench role, which should limit his upside considerably regardless of how he looks in preseason.

Impact Daniels is set to make his Hawks debut Tuesday after spending the first two years of his career in New Orleans. While Daniels is expected to come off the bench this season, he will start in place of Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) against Indiana.

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.
Impact 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.

Dealing with left knee soreness Daniels (left knee soreness) is questionable to play Tuesday versus Portland.
Impact 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 opt to proceed with caution in his workload, so Daniels' status will need to be monitored.

Impact Daniels is averaging 12.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 23.0 minutes across his last two contests off the bench. Notably, Naji Marshall (shoulder) is unavailable Sunday due to a shoulder injury, vacating the 20.7 minutes he is average through 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.

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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 as well. 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.

Expected to return Saturday Daniels (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Daniels is expected to suit up in an NBA game for the first time since Feb. 9. He recently returned to action in the G League, posting 22 points, seven steals, six assists and a rebound in 24 minutes for the Birmingham Squadron on Wednesday. The second-year wing will likely be limited to a minor bench role if he gets the green light Saturday.
MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Thursday Daniels (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact Daniels will miss a 21st straight game Thursday as he continues his recovery from meniscus surgery on his left knee, but he appears to be nearing a return to action for the Pelicans. The second-year player was able to see game action Wednesday with the Pelicans' G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. In 24 minutes with the Squadron, Daniels notched 22 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven steals, six assists and one rebound across 24 minutes in a 115-99 loss to the Oklahoma City Blue. The Pelicans likely don't want him to play consecutive days and will keep him out Thursday, but Daniels could be back in action for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics. With Brandon Ingram (knee) in danger of missing the rest of the regular season, Daniels could have the opportunity to take on a sizable rotational role once he's back in action and fully reconditioned.

Remains out Daniels (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact Daniels hasn't played since Feb. 9 while recovering from meniscus surgery but recently went to the G League as part of his rehab, so he's making progress. However, it remains unclear when he'll be cleared for game action. Daniels' next chance will come versus Boston on Saturday.
