Dealt to Philadelphia The Hornets traded McDaniels to the 76ers on Thursday in a three-team deal that also included the Trail Blazers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact The 76ers will acquire second-round picks in 2024 and 2029 in the deal, while Portland receives Matisse Thybulle and Charlotte gets Svi Myhailiuk as well as second-round picks in 2023 and 2027. McDaniels averaged 10.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.7 minutes across 56 games for the Hornets this season, but he could be in store for a smaller role in Philadelphia. He'll tentatively slot in as the primary backup at forward behind starters Tobias Harris and P.J. Tucker.

Should the Hornets Trade Jalen McDaniels? McDaniels has been rumored in trade talks over the past month.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Bounces back with 14 points McDaniels ended with 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and four steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 118-112 loss to the Pistons.
Impact McDaniels was coming off a scoreless dud against the Bulls, but more often than not he's going to produce across the stat sheet when the minutes are there. With his name all over the rumor mill, his fantasy value could move in a big direction either way as he's been linked to both contending teams and rebuilding ones as well.

Not starting Thursday McDaniels will join the second unit for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Impact McDaniels had started the Hornets' previous 11 contests as the team battled through various injuries but will slide to the bench for Thursday's contest with the team at full health outside of Cody Martin (knee). In 28 bench appearances, McDaniels has averaged 10.1 points and 4.9 rebounds across 25.4 minutes.

Collects rare double-double McDaniels accumulated 15 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 128-97 loss to the Suns.
Impact McDaniels flirted with a double-double in his last matchup Monday against the Jazz (nine points and nine boards), and he was able to secure his second of the season Tuesday. He also picked up a pair of steals and has tallied at least one steal in four of his last five games.

Offensive explosion Monday McDaniels produced 26 points (9-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 130-118 loss to Boston.
Impact McDaniels came from nowhere to score a season-high 26 points, only the third time he has scored more than 20 points this season. However, he has scored double-digits in 10 of his past 11 games, putting up top-120 value over the past month. He obviously won't do this very often, but he does remain a 12-team asset, at least until Gordon Hayward returns from his hamstring injury.

Pops for 17 points Sunday McDaniels produced 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to the Pacers.
Impact McDaniels continues to play well as a starter, churning out another solid two-way performance. With Gordon Hayward (hamstring) and Kelly Oubre (hand) both sidelined, the path to minutes is reasonably clear right now, making McDaniels a viable 12-team asset. Oubre is set to miss at least another few weeks, while Hayward is seemingly always injured. All of this adds up to what should be a nice opportunity for McDaniels to prove himself.

Productive in spot start McDaniels closed with 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 131-107 loss to Memphis.
Impact Getting the start at small forward in place of Gordon Hayward (hamstring), McDaniels had a strong performance and recorded multiple steals and blocks for the first time since Nov. 7, and the third time this season. However, the fourth-year player has been more than just a contributor on the defensive end of the court lately. McDaniels has scored in double digits in five straight games -- his longest streak of the season -- and has averaged 12.0 points, 6.0 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.

Gets starting nod McDaniels is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Memphis, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact McDaniels will start in place of Gordon Hayward (hamstring). The 24-year-old forward is averaging 12.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.9 minutes across his 10 starts this season.

Jalen McDaniels Career Year has Gone Under the Radar The Former 52nd Pick in the 2019 Draft is Flourishing
JANUARY 1, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Solid output from bench McDaniels closed with 12 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to the Warriors.
Impact McDaniels drained three three-pointers to get into double-digit scoring territory for the 16th time this season. Greater scoring totals directly correspond with his perimeter opportunities, but it's impossible to predict when he'll pop in the category. Despite the variance, he's a viable fantasy option in deeper leagues.
DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Well-rounded line off bench McDaniels finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 20 minutes in Sunday's 119-115 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact McDaniels shifted back to the bench Sunday with PJ Washington (personal) returning from a one-game absence and proceeded to deliver a solid all-around line. Though McDaniels appears set to play off the second unit moving forward, he could be the beneficiary of a few extra minutes Monday against the Kings if starting shooting guard Terry Rozier (hip) isn't available. Rozier exited in the second quarter of Sunday's contest and was unable to return.

Flops in starting role McDaniels closed Friday's 125-106 loss to the Hawks with seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes.
Impact McDaniels was named as the starter Friday, replacing P.J. Washington who was out due to personal reasons. While we don't have any further details as to Washington's absence, it is unlikely to see him miss too many games. While McDaniels can be streamed in on nights such as this, he should be viewed as more of a streaming consideration now that the Hornets are starting to get healthy bodies back on the floor.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Starting for absent Washington McDaniels will start Friday's game against the Hawks, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Impact With P.J. Washington (personal) a late scratch, McDaniels will step back into the starting five. As a starter, he's averaged 12.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.1 minutes. Fantasy managers should monitor his workload in the team's coming games, however, as Gordon Hayward (shoulder) is expected to return Friday, which could cut into McDaniels' workload when everyone is available.
