Hawks' Dyson Daniels: More competition for minutes
Rotowire
Daniels may face increased competition for minutes in Atlanta's backcourt after the Hawks drafted Kingston Flemings with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Atlanta also brought in Aaron Wiggins via free agency, adding another player who will require minutes in the Hawks' backcourt. Daniels saw 46 percent of his minutes at the shooting guard position last season, but that number may dip with Wiggins and Flemings in the mix. Daniels' role will be worth monitoring throughout training camp and the preseason.
Daniels was ejected from Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Knicks following an altercation, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll finish with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one steal in 15 minutes.
Daniels and Mitchell Robinson got into a scuffle while lining up for a free-throw attempt, and it took players from each team to put an end to it. After the officials reviewed the play, Daniels and Robinson were both tossed from the matchup. Daniels' absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the outcome, as the Knicks owned a commanding 72-22 lead in the second quarter at the time of his ejection.
Daniels posted eight points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 109-108 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Daniels had his fingerprints all over this game on both ends of the court. Through three playoff games, he's shooting 36.8 percent from the field while averaging 6.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.7 steals.
Daniels (toe) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against New York.
Daniels sat out the regular-season finale due to a left great toe sprain, but as expected, he'll be available for the postseason. The 2022 No. 8 overall pick averaged 11.9 points, 5.9 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 33.2 minutes per game during the regular season.
Daniels (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Heat.
Daniels and several other Hawks players will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale in order to rest up before the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The 2022 first-rounder will end the regular season averaging 11.9 points, 5.9 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 33.2 minutes per game.
