• Spurs' Jalen McDaniels: Traded to San Antonio

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  McDaniels was traded to the Spurs on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Spurs also secured a second-round pick with this transaction. McDaniels is a versatile defender, but the Spurs have a lot of depth at both forward spots, so it will be tough for him to crack the rotation. In fact, the Spurs are planning to waive him in the near future, Charania adds in his report. In 248 career regular-season games, McDaniels holds averages of 6.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists.

• Kings' Jalen McDaniels: Headed to Sacramento

  06/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Raptors traded McDaniels to the Kings in exchange for Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, the No. 45 pick in 2024 NBA Draft and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft via Portland on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. During his first year in Toronto, McDaniels served as depth in the team's forward rotation. In 2023-24, he averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 50 appearances, including one start. However, the 25-year-old mightily struggled with his efficiency, posting 34.4/16.9/73.0 shooting splits. If McDaniels isn't able to drastically increase his offensive output, he will likely struggle to find minutes in Sacramento.

  McDaniels had 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-85 loss to the Timberwolves. McDaniels played 37 minutes at power forward in his first start of the season. The San Diego State product has failed to catch on with the team, averaging only 10.4 minutes on the floor over 45 games. He's now with his third team over five seasons, and although we may see more of him as the season draws to a close, it may be too late for him to show his stuff.
