Hawks' Dyson Daniels: All-around performance in loss
Daniels tallied 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes for Australia during Friday's 77-71 loss to Greece in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Daniels shot the ball efficiently from the field and led Australia in assists during Friday's loss. While Daniels is expected to be a backup option in Atlanta's frontcourt after being traded from New Orleans, the 21-year-old guard continues to feature heavily for his national team.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Dealt to Atlanta
The Hawks acquired Daniels, Larry Nance and two future first-round picks from the Pelicans on Friday in exchange for Dejounte Murray, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
As expected, the Hawks have dealt one of their two backcourt starters, and they will now shift to a younger look after selecting Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. It's easy to forget Daniels was selected with the No. 8 overall 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, listed at 6-foot-7 and 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 he's the right player to take a chance on during a soft rebuild.

Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: 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.

Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: Enters starting lineup
Daniels will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: 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.

Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: 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.

Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: Logs 11 minutes in return
Daniels (knee) 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.
After making a tune-up appearance with the G League's Birmingham Squadron earlier in the week, Daniels suited up for the Pelicans for the first time since Feb. 9 after undergoing a meniscectomy on his left knee. The 2022 first-round pick stepped back into a rotational role Saturday, but his 11 minutes were still well below his season-long average of 21.7 per game. Once he's further removed from the knee injury, Daniels could see his playing time pick up a bit, especially while the Pelicans look to fill the minutes vacated by Brandon Ingram (knee), who could be about a week away from returning to action.

Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: Expected to return Saturday
Daniels (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Daniels is expected to suit up for 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.
